Starting to think I should just reject all PRs from devs that don't use Nostr...
Like why are you even contributing if you don't even have an npub?

Yes, why are they?
...ya don't have to reject them all... but...
Yeah!!
#NostrOnly !!
Dogfooding 👌
Why in the world would they even contribute? And how could they even understand what the amplifications are of their contributions if they're not inside the ecosystem?

Yeah.. but I have receive many PRs from people that clearly have never used Amethyst... It always baffles me.
"why are you even contributing if you don't even have an npub?"
Probably as a career thing, I'm assuming that PR's etc are tracked as part of most SW firm hiring practices?
I'm very curious. What are they contributing?
Career experience, forcing their projects on all of our users, trying to get credibility to attack us later.... Idk ..
Lolwtf.
может они лишь не хотят связывать личности гитхаб и ностр
даже если это никнеймы, а не имена, и особенно, если текущая тенденция всех идентифицировать и посчитать как цыплят 😎
My previous company almost hired an "intern" sent by our competitors to learn everything so that they could copy our code. We realized something was off during the interview.. but who knows ones we didn't realize we're not there to help us ..
Is it some sort of spam or attack?
I'm curious about the career value one would obtain by firing out PRs for shit they don't use or test. Lol If anything, that's the type of person I wouldn't hire.
Yeah IDK, not in that professional field... But it's a "metric".
Scientists do the same thing with publications.
Yeah, smaller places often judge your skills based on GitHub (specifically) metrics like PRs especially. Which, to be fair, when working with a team is as important as your coding skills as well.
There's no career in software engineering anymore. It's just a hobby until you burn through your token budget.

I think there is many younger developers who want to get some credibility, and I understand them. But with the capabilities now with AI, it's much more valuable for someone to create a well written issue, better that the core maintainers run AI on their own codebases than third parties.
I ask
i'm here 😅 😂
Finally!
i don't kink-shame you for allowing anonymous replies. let me live my nostr life how i choose
You don't like anonymous replies?
#running1.07.1
i do like it. i don't like you baiting me to reveal an npub. let me remain an anon.
Simple, yet effective!
or something else entirely 🤔

You have to develop a Namecoin full node client to run in the phone so that all resolutions happen locally and we get rid of all this ElectrumX bullshit.
will you accept a full namecoin core node 😂? it's alot less than 10 gb atm. I have asked for feedback from namecoin devs about the current electrumx implementation but i only expect it in may at the earliest.
Why? Just build the node as an app and Amethyst will communicate with the app directly. There is no need to change Amethyst at all. Its all app-to-app comms.
i don't want to release any coin software myself. i will see if android can be added to namecoin releases.
Why not? Somebody has to do it and you clearly care about it. Nobody else cares about building on Android. The namecoin people will never do it. It's not their role to do it. Somebody else needs to.
Internships are institutionalized exploitation. I regret the intern not getting hired and reducing your company to smithereens.
Well, duh.
electrum-nmc with electrumx approach was good enough for torproject which was good enough for me. it worked well for google pixel just most android devices are cucked so the pinned cert thing came into play. you are obviously not happy with this so i will wait for feedback from nmc devs as there may be an option i haven't considered that will make everyone happy.
Maybe I misunderstood. It sounded like they were just firing out PRs with no understanding of the actual thing being contributed to. I don't see why that would be an important part of working on any team for anything. Again, unless I'm misunderstanding. If it's an actually useful PR addressing some issue, and it works and doesn't harm anything, I guess I can see it.
Exactly.
this is probably part of it fo sho.
They're not going to look back at all your PRs, you just have to pump those numbers up.


Lol Fuck, that is the world we live in isn't it? I forget way too often
I guess I have to say it again XD.
GITHUB IS A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
Do you even push bro?
After I commit ;)
maybe these are just anons that don't wanna be exposed and have their npubs attached to their gh account because that's also tracked as it gets?
Not really, I ask for their npubs privately. Usually they don't even know what it is.
How does that make sense?
shit. reject all of them.
Like they never downloaded the app to test even?
People trying to influence stuff or trying to get our confidence to the rug pull later.
These days AI can do it for them
Rug pulling what?
True
Idk.. installing a little lib that steals everybody's Nsec or nostr wallet connect secrets, etc.
I thought becoming an intern is a voluntary choice.
If that how it works on your planet, all the power to you. I hope I'll be able to join this advanced civilization of yours one day.
