Yes and this is how it was for centuries until Bolsheviks started fucking with the dials. Now they're the judges and they're letting axe murderers roam free and punishing devs for pushing Code as Wrongthink.

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard, Trump Warmonger and Aspiring Election-Rigger, Resigns
*Tulsi Gabbard in the Oval Office on Oct. 21, 2025. Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images.*
Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, plans to leave her cabinet-level position by the end of June, according to her resignation letter.
Gabbard, once a Democratic congresswoman, [staked her reputation][1] on being vigorously opposed to America’s “regime change wars.” She endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. Then, she spent nearly a year and a half propping up a Trump administration dedicated to authoritarian violence and power grabs, a world-historically corrupt personality cult, and – who could forget? – launching regime-change wars.
[Subscribe now][2]
In her formal resignation [letter][3], Gabbard cited her husband’s struggle with “an extremely rare form of bone cancer” as her reason for quitting, and wrote to Trump about how “deeply grateful” she is for “the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half.” She is the fourth cabinet-level official to resign or be pushed out of Trump’s second administration; all four have been women.
By her own words, Gabbard is not resigning out of principle or in protest. She is resigning because of an intensely personal, serious family matter. Taking her at her word, Gabbard is not quitting because she is incensed by what the Trump-Vance administration is doing on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and elsewhere across the globe.
As President Trump bombed Iran, as he invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its leader, as he started his illegal war of aggression on the Iranian people, as he’s [ramping up preparations for][4] a possible invasion of Cuba, as he refuses to take [invading Mexico][5] off the table, as he sought to [conquer][6] [Greenland][7], as he waged deadly warfare [on his own people][8], as he [bombed][9], and [bombed][10], and [bombed][11] – Tulsi Gabbard stayed put. She did not leave in protest, including when it could have – maybe? – mattered or meant something. She did not meaningfully fight any of the war policies she once claimed to abhor.
She was proud to serve as a willing cog in Trump’s vast war machine, even as she was [reportedly regularly excluded][12] from sensitive, high-level meetings – like those over kidnapping Venezuela’s leader – to the point that White House aides would joke that her title, DNI, stood for “Do Not Invite.”
But for Trump, enough is never enough.
The president, according to sources in and out of government who’ve talked to Trump about this over the past several months, had indeed flirted with the idea of getting rid of Gabbard altogether. As **Zeteo** [reported in March][13], Trump has made snide, bitter comments behind the scenes about Gabbard not being enthusiastic enough about his disastrous war in Iran. And on Friday afternoon, Reuters [reported][14], citing one “source familiar with the matter,” that Gabbard had been “forced out by the White House,” as the Trump administration continued to insist her departure was due to her husband’s health.
[Share][15]
But one professional saving grace for Gabbard was that Trump – an administration official and another source briefed on the matter tell **Zeteo **– had gushed to confidants how thrilled he was by some of the work Gabbard had been doing on what he dubs “election integrity.”
There is, however, no reason that the U.S. director of national intelligence, one of the most influential positions for the most sensitive of national security-related matters and vital intelligence analysis, should be anywhere near Donald Trump’s thoroughly debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election – an election he lost and then tried to steal, [leading to death and destruction][16].
But that’s what Gabbard’s been doing in recent months, serving as the face and one of the ringleaders of Trump’s intelligence community “investigation” into U.S. voting systems. Her job, officially, is to keep the American people safe. Instead, she used her soon-to-be former office to aid Trump’s efforts to [rig future elections and punish his political foes][17] who committed the crime of refusing to help Trump rig a past election.
To say that Gabbard disgraced herself and her office is both a dramatic understatement and also perhaps the only true qualification she had for working in the second Trump presidency.
Gabbard wrote in Friday’s letter that “we have made significant progress at the ODNI – advancing unprecedented transparency and restoring integrity to the intelligence community,” while Trump thanked her and said, “Tulsi has done an incredible job.”
For most of her political career, Gabbard presented herself as an unshakably anti-war, anti-imperialist political figure of the progressive left – she literally [sold campaign T-shirts][18] that declared, “No War with Iran.” As Gabbard joined the MAGA movement, she maintained her professed commitment to preventing wars. “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a man who wants to end wars, not start them,” she [proclaimed][19] shortly before the 2024 election.
As **Zeteo** has noted, Gabbard’s anti-war story [was always a lie][20], and that was the case even before she [proudly, shamelessly][21] served the agenda of one of the most fiendishly warmongering and violently imperialistic presidents that the United States has produced in a very long time.
[Subscribe now][22]
And by the end of her time spent at the highest levels of Trump’s government, Gabbard revealed herself to have nothing but sneering contempt for American democratic values: someone who would gladly allow the U.S. intelligence apparatus to be perverted and disgraced, all to make Donald Trump feel better about a presidential election he lost and failed to steal.
At best, she allowed President Trump to turn her into one of his warmongers-by-proxy. By her own admission, being stridently anti-war was one of the most important things she could have done with her life. She wanted to stop regional conflicts before they started, she claimed. She said she wanted to save untold numbers of lives.
She threw that all away, like a used Swiffer wipe, in a heartbeat, so that she could serve at the pleasure of a former host of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ who keeps threatening Iran with [full-blown genocide][23].
Let that be her legacy.

I feel almost exactly the same as you. And I agree that the solution shouldn't be " just write code ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" cause that's what got us here.
But what's amazing is that no matter how shitty a Nostr client or relay is, if it followed the core spec and produces valid events, it's an equal participant in the eyes of the network. That doesn't help you, I know. And it makes me mad too. But that's how it's been possible to even get to this point. Protocol-complient but completely user-unfriendly experiences abound.
I reeee about poor code quality all the time, and I was doing it before vibe coding when people were still writing code by hand. But at the end of the day, my reeee-ing is still justified. Good code quality and prudent, sane engineering is how we move this thing forward, or else we're stuck floundering in our own pig-sty with a half dozen devs building for 2 dozen users.
How do we get there? I dunno. Devs aren't going to magically adopt a professional mindset, and vibe coding will only make things worse. Call it an epidemic of the field. It's a sickness and it's going to wreak a lot of havoc before things change.
I decided to build a relay. And I'm building it prudently. And it's going to take a while. But I hope you can take some small solace that there's at least one dev out there trying to do things right and professionally. I don't have grant money, and I don't care to obtain any because I don't need it. I'm going to make what I want to see, and I hope it can help make things better for me. And if it can make things better for me, maybe it can make things better for you. And that is my hope.

Got a flat screen monitor 40 inches wide. I believe that yours says etch-a-sketch on the side. In a 32-bit world, you're a 2-bit user. Got your own news group, all total losers. Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax. Where'd you get your CPU in a box of Cracker Jacks?
