The trains even have hot desks now too.

If you haven’t read ‘s book Building Nostr yet, you should. It’s very well written and does a great job of giving new builders (of all types, not just devs) the base they need to “build it right”. https://building-nostr.coracle.social/

“Building software is hard”. It’s doubly hard when you’re building in a decentralized context and inventing new protocols at the same time. I feel so much gratitude and respect for all our early users (that’s you all!) and all the feedback and understanding they’ve given us. As they say; if you aren’t embarrassed, you launched too late. Well, we didn’t launch too late. 😅 I’m looking forward to the next release. It’s going to be lit. 🔥

Optimism and (comparatively) getting out of the way of small business

Don’t be a commuter and this isn’t an issue. 😅

You just have to pick the right train for what you want. Intercity trains hardly stop at all.

GM 🌞 Train travel is exceptionally underrated. Air travel, by comparison, is barbaric.

I am Jack’s distinct lack of surprise.

GM 🌞 Sad to say, but I turned off Lockdown mode on my mac simply because it broke emoji rendering in code editors, and many other apps. can you talk to Tim and get that sorted? 😅

NIP-EE is official. 🤝

GM 🌞 I’m paying tribute to the gods of bureaucracy this morning by giving them too much of my time for something exceptionally unnecessary.

telegram 😭 but ok. I will. right now tho. sleep.

Your internet will be permissioned. Unless you fight back...

do you do tarot readings remotely? Or only in person?

The story of my life...

Actively deciding what NOT to pay attention to is a superpower. Even more so when many of those things are actually things you're genuinely interested in and have the ability to materially help. I give myself a B-, at best. Who do you know who is phenomenal at this?

GM 🌞

My account on white noise is completely destroyed at the moment from all my testing. I’ll clean that up soon. In the meantime dm me here and we’ll connect via signal.

GM 🌞 You generally know you're on the right track when you find yourself removing params from methods.

GM 🌞 Most people don't think that very large services can just disappear overnight... I am obsessed with this idea though. Just think about what it would mean to wake up and hear that the US govt. has raided and shutdown Signal and arrested their CEO, Meredith, for aiding terrorists. It's an idea that's getting less and less far-fetched. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/13/russia-clamps-down-on-whatsapp-and-telegram-over-data-sharing

GM 🌞 My talk from Privacy Edition in Riga is up. In addition to the shameless self-promotion, I'll say that the BTC++ events are the best events in Bitcoin right now if you're a dev. Highly technical, very chill, extremely well run, and just plain fun. If you've never been, now is the time. is doing events everywhere this year. There is bound to be one close to you. https://www.youtube.com/live/mvuWLob3CFU?si=nTkFixmGTTPyzUYt&t=4306

GM! Who’s excited about going to Riga this week?! I can’t believe we’re get a and #BH2025 double header in one of the most fun cities in Europe.
