Encapsulation assumes developers are dumb and will shoot themselves in the foot. They are, and they will, but I prefer my code to have affordances for me to do weird things. But a big part of that is the difference between being a one-man team with comprehensive knowledge of the codebase and being on a larger team with shared institutional knowledge.
My complaint is less about const, which is a good idea, than about linters wasting my time by making me switch back and forth. The number of times const has saved me doesn't compensate for the busy work of pleasing the linter.

Sure, but the language's conventions are very reliant on reassignment. And const doesn't prevent mutation anyway. I say this as someone whose favorite language is clojure

I (and the LLMs) spend way more time switching between const and let because the linter tells us to than relying on something not being reassigned because it's declared with const. If you need const, your scopes are too big.

Kind-based approvals is a broken UX pattern. I don't know what better would look like, but no way is a user going to know offhand what kind 68291 is. I also don't think it's realistic for signers to render every kind correctly either. Honestly I feel like developers of signers have sort of dropped the ball on exploring better ways to reconcile UX smoothness with user safety/privacy/control.

The necessity to go back and forth between `let` and `const` depending on whether a variable is reassigned isn't worth the mental overhead conserved by knowing that a variable isn't reassigned provided by `const`

Do you have any ideas for how to get better search coverage across more of tge network? Even if all relays supported search, you would have to make relay selections based on some other criteria than search term, which means you're limiting reach out of the gate. The only solution I can think of is indexers, which creates google all over again, and also doesn't cover auth protected relays either.

It's fun watching your "client developer" arc. A ton of the things you've said are opinions I held years ago, but things weren't as clear back then, so I either didn't follow through on them or went back and forth. Like, I used to use client tags, then there was talk about it being a privacy problem so I removed them.
Take this either as me boasting or as flattery as you like, but wisp is basically coracle v2. It's what I would try to write today if I started over with a social client.

@nprofile…jrqt I appreciate your experiment but I think auto auth is not the enemy. Fingerprinting can happen in many other ways. It's worse on nostr, but it's also true of the entire rest of the internet.

2026-03-11 18:38:10 CET

- reply

I am not sure about this, because it undermines privacy in other ways. Now, if I want to protect my privacy by enforcing auth on my outboxes (to restrict reads to people I follow or something), I am banning myself from wisp. Better would be to have some kind of heuristic for relays that might legitimately enforce auth. If someone I follow has a relay that enfoces auth, I don't mind identifying myself. But if I'm browsing topics or whatever that changes.

This is a balanced, intelligent, and constructive article on using LLMs for coding:
https://ankursethi.com/blog/programming-language-claude-code/
My main takeaway is that some problems are well suited to using LLMs, others aren't. I followed basically the flow described when porting pomade to go and rust, but LLMs invariably make a mess and slow me down when doing front end work. Stuff that can be explained in words and tested using a command line interface works much better with LLMs.

In theory sure, but there is an inherent tension in higher level tools, because it distances you from your work. The key to craftsmanship is balancing depth of understanding through unmediated participation in your work with the precision conferred by better tools.

These claims are not mutually consistent. The result of the loss of craftsmanship is disposable consumer goods and the exploitation of the environment and human life. Software already was this, but LLMs are more so. The loss of craftsmanship is the loss of everything worthwhile that was being produced, and its displacement by literal garbage.

Yeah, I switched to replies (which imo should be the default) but still the majority of space on the page is taken up by my own notes.

Here's an example:

This article says a lot of what I wanted to say about LLMs, but couldn't find the words: https://acko.net/blog/the-l-in-llm-stands-for-lying/
I don't agree with his conclusion that leaning in to intellectual property rights and source citation is the solution, though that's an interesting though. But there are some great sections, particularly in the first half. Here are some highlights:
> LLMs do something very specific: they allow individuals to make forgeries of their own potential output, or that of someone else, faster than they could make it themselves.
> Experienced veterans who turn to AI are said to supposedly fare better, producing 10x or even 100x the lines of code from before. When I hear this, I wonder what sort of senior software engineer still doesn't understand that every line of code they run and depend on is a liability.
>
> One of the most remarkable things I've heard someone say was that AI coding is a great application of the technology because everything an agent needs to know is explained in the codebase. This is catastrophically wrong and absurd, because if it were true, there would be no actual coding work to do.
>
> It's also a huge tell. The salient difference here is whether an engineer has mostly spent their career solving problems created by other software, or solving problems people already had before there was any software at all. Only the latter will teach you to think about the constraints a problem actually has, and the needs of the users who solve it, which are always far messier than a novice would think.

Sounds great! Another feature request is to add api request history somewhere. On opencode I spent $20 very quickly and it was really helpful for figuring out exactly which API calls caused it. Including number of tokens in/out, dollar amount of upstream, and payment amount would be awesome. Also, I've noticed that the current tally of dollar amount doesn't show in opencode like it does for other providers.

2026-03-05 17:21:41 CET

Nice, sounds like a great way to simplify. I like routstr a lot, but here are a few other things you could to do improve the UX:
- Don't process payments synchronously in chat
- Auto-refresh balances in the background?
- Maybe eliminate the balance on a key? Although having a budget on a key is nice.

Spent the day fiddling with agent isolation. At first I went down the rabbit hole of setting up a dev environment on an old macbook and acc,ssing it over wireguard, but the latency was annoying. Then I tried matchlock, which was promising but had weird build and control character issues. Finally, I went with docker sandbox, shich is good enough, although I had yo use a very dumb hack to get my config into the container. This is a massive product opportunity.

Easy UX != simple UI, it means things "just work". Do all 100 wallets interoperate seamlessly with the other 100 (10k combinations)? Certainly not. That's my point — not that routstr didn't work (it did), but that it's crufty UI reveals the underlying complexity that leads to poor UX.
We can agree to disagree, I don't expect to convince you. But I do think you need to take this problem seriously in order for cashu to succeed (and I think you do, you just seem to treat people bringing this up dismissively, which is weird).

2026-02-26 19:19:43 CET

- reply

These are all obviously much better, but unless all wallets seamlessly support onchain, the various flavors of lightning, and cashu, you're always going to have friction when sending/receiving.
"scan what?"
"receive what?"
"what kind of qr code is this?"
"oh, my phone doesn't support NFC"
"my wallet doesn't do onchain, can you send me a lightning invoice?"
"it's saying something about liquidity"
"what's a 'mint'?"
"what is a 'melt'?"
"what is a 'submarine swap'?"
"why do I need to 'topup', can't I just transfer funds from my bank?"
None of these problems are impossible to solve individually, but solving all of them across a network of apps created by people with different ideas is combinatorially difficult.
In nostr we say "don't overload kinds". I think this is the problem — we've overloaded the term "pay with bitcoin". It means:
- P2PKH
- P2SH
- Native SegWit
- Taproot
- Bolt11 invoice
- LNURL
- Lightning address
- Bolt12 invoice
- Keysend
- Cashu eCash
- Fedimint eCash
- Spark
- Ark
I'm not saying each of these doesn't have its use case, or that innovation isn't good, but this complexity comes at a cost, which either the wallet developer or the user has to bear.

I have four wallets:

2026-02-26 17:52:01 CET

A few months ago I asked @nprofile…xvl9 to sell me on using cashu. His argument was focused on better payment UX, which is compelling.
But something I think is left out of the conversation around lightning/ecash is the funding UX, which can be very complex.
I recently started using routsr (and appreciate it), but it exemplifies this UX friction perfectly. I've written lightning and cashu integrations, and even I am confused by what the UI is telling me. This is not (entirely) the fault of the routstr developers, it's a result of the irreducible complexity of separate protocols for different technical tradeoffs.
