Right 100%. I haven’t written code in 6/7 (🤷‍♂️) months, why would I expect them to? That’s where I’m getting lost right now. What exactly do I teach them? Why do choose a sharded db in some instances? I need guidance right now about what’s actually important to teach these young guys in a field that’s changing *almost* faster than I can keep up.

I feel that. I tell them it’s mostly not about what they ship, but rather them struggling through and gaining an understanding of how all of this works. How they have to think. I’ve heard the JavaScript Mastery guy on YouTube put it well: software engineering is a mindset.

Already did most of that.. have been saying to my team “I’m building my replacement” lol. Still trying to take young guys under my wing though.

I’m seeing the same pattern as someone else mentioned of just not hiring new people. Make the exciting people do it. Which fine, I can handle that now. But I’m not going to be here forever. Don’t know what to do.

I think the problem with nostr is we don’t know what it is. Some people think that’s a good thing. I understand that sentiment. I wonder though if it makes more sense to nail down — more fundamentally — what the role of relays and clients are. It’s early and small enough to make these critical decisions.

Ever wonder if a certain Bitcoiner actually called it — or just got lucky once and won't stop reminding you?
I built a scoreboard: https://predictions.westernbtc.com
Every public BTC price prediction I could find, linked to the exact tweet / podcast timestamp / article, and scored against what Bitcoin actually did. Flat scoring — every resolved call counts the same, no hiding behind "high conviction."
(Example: Scaramucci's "$100k by end of 2021" … aged about how you'd expect.)
Sources: X, podcasts (incl. audio-only shows transcribed with Whisper, back to 2021), articles, and Nostr — methodology and the raw data are fully open at /sources and /data. It's live and constantly growing.
Don't see someone who belongs on there? Reply and I'll dig them up.
