Most of the vibe-coded stuff, that is any good, is coming from people who could already code.
The hop from nothing to entry-level programmer is now gone, but the leap from entry-level to senior-level has gotten absolutely enormous.

Because he launched his youtube channel due to the insane covid economic policies. That was what "triggered" him, enough that he wanted to become more active. You can see that, with the timing and message of the first video.
He was the only one, with any viewership, who _didn't_ think the bailouts and paid-lockdowns were sound economic policy. He warned that it was a massive wealth transfer to the rich, and he was correct.

You're making the logical error of obsessing over the messenger, rather than countering the message. You apparently have no viable counter-argument. No one does.
Everyone can publicly observe all of his haters just sort of emoting and flailing around, mentally, like this. It makes him look good, TBH.
You have to figure out WHY HE IS WRONG. Tell us why he is wrong. We are all waiting for the enlightenment. Why is inequality good for the working class? Why do governments need to liquidate all remaining public assets, to subsidize the gazillionaries, rather than clawing lost assets back? Why do we need to subsidize oil conglomerates and resource oligarchs with public monies, so that the wealth can trickle down when they buy another yacht? Why do we need to invade more countries, drop bombs on school children and some little old ladies herding goats, and then run off with the spoils?
Why? Why? Why? Why is this all a great thing and we need to _do it even harder_?
Pray tell. I am listening.

Always repeat a clear message over and over, for years, if you want it to land and stick.

It's the grind. The devs almost all bow out in the medium term because of the never-ending grind. AI doesn't stop the grind; it makes it more relentless and gives you more code and infrastructure to grind.

This. I just had the same issue, implementing full outboxes and hints, random outboxes, and relay monitoring.
It immediately got crazy-complicated (and slow), and then I started iterating over that feature set and it got progressively faster, smoother, and simpler.

My Jumble's relay management increasingly reminds me of chaotic storage, from logistics. Just throw stuff at whichever random gateway is open, note where you threw it, move on.
The difference being, that in logistics you have to keep track of where you threw things, to find it, later. With *chaotic relay storage*, you just make sure the storage place is generally known (monitored) and other services pick up the stuff you threw there and spread it around to the places you generally prefer to look for things. It's actually kind of wild.

2026-03-30 23:02:40 CEST

- reply

I really didn't see that coming, but I think it's the brittleness of their database-funnel. Although their systems are distributed on their end, they have to push the traffic through crowded gateways.

You are also discounting the eye-watering sums of money that were burned through to build your "success" stories and how most of those attempts crashed and burned within years or even months. Survivorship bias.
The cost of all of this has been really measely and we are still here and finally even starting to think up business models. Until now, we were just frantically trying to figure out how to see each others' shitposts.
Time is money. We had no money, so it takes more time. Volunteer time and a shoestring budget. Even the paid devs aren't exactly winning the lottery, or something.

2026-03-30 22:35:43 CEST

I said this, years ago, and it's still true. And now the clients and relays are actually getting pretty good. The quality of my experience is already higher, on my Jumble, than on Slack or Telegram. Which I hadn't thought possible and am sort of surprised by.
We never had anything worth advertising to a larger audience, until now. The feature set was too small and the quality was too low.
I think we're going to see a big jump in useability and comprehensiveness, this year, and a marketing push next year. I know that @npub1s3h…75wz has big plans.

Privacy is a server-side function (i.e. relays). You can't achieve privacy on the open Internet; only some obfuscation through encryption or privacy-requests (that aren't always honored, same as deletion requests). You either need to control access through a dedicated server, or through a true P2P system (where the client doubles as a server).
I.e. you have to have the notes in your physical possession, to control access.
Facebook is not the Internet. It's a server. That's why they can control access.
