Coding has always just been a means to an end. If your entire job was held up by your ability to code, then you're cooked. It's about creating something worth using that other people can't imagine yet.

Hi Jeff! When will MDK add support for recovering your data after deleting an MLS-enabled app? Is this something on the roadmap?
Can secrets be stored on a relay as a gift wrap tied to your npub, so that it can be retrieved with just your Nostr account?

The barrier to entry for hackers has lowered too, making it far easier to exploit poor security.
My buddy is vibe coding an app…
He texted me and said he added security — I reviewed what was added. It was barely security.
Beginner vibe coders will get cooked by security gaps.

Don’t be a doomer
The bar for quality has simply risen.
There is still a massive skill gap between advanced engineers and beginner vibe coders, especially related to security.
The barrier to entry has lowered. But the skill gap has risen for advanced engineers. It is a joyous time.

This only works for self-hosting though. We tried this exact method 3 years ago and it failed because users can't simply download a Merkle tree of your git repo... the .git folder can't be transferred between PCs that easily. This is more like GitTea but enhanced, not quite GitHub. GitHub has the social element.
AI coding helps but creating something for at scale use still requires more than a few weeks of vibe coding.

Someone dumping stolen coins won’t kill bitcoin..
Setting a precedent that devs can alter account balances during “emergencies” is a much bigger long-term threat, especially if the “emergency” hasn’t arrived yet.
It’s a very dangerous precedent that should be resisted despite a price drop from someone dumping coins — minimizing the power devs wield is far more important. Nomos operates off of precedents, whether it’s legal or social consensus.

Arbitrarily deciding when to freeze peoples’ coins against a threat that has an unknown arrival time is irresponsible. I don’t disagree with adding quantum key schemes. I disagree with freezing peoples’ coins.

2025-12-21 11:32:10 UTC

- reply

When the quantum threat hits is unknown. Confiscating coins beforehand is irresponsible. It’s difficult because there’s likely no lead time, so I defer to not confiscating.

Raising intelligence won’t automatically make a high trust society, but it may allow people to more deeply grasp the important elements of social scalability like the immutable constitution or consensus rules — which are rules that supersede diversity and differences, these rules apply universally to all parties whether they’re trusted or not. As more see the wisdom of this, there will be more global adoption of it — perhaps a voluntary-like form of Manifest Destiny.

Clients can be big as long as the spec is clear. You can still login to small clients with the same nsec…
We should be worried about big relays (data centralization) and not having enough relays e.g. data availability. This phobia to big clients mindless if data portability is still preserved.
Airchat is growing to be quite a big codebase, should I just stop developing it? We shouldn’t be parroting these ideas to developers then getting disappointed when all we get is half-baked projects that don’t go anywhere.

Iterations are the name of the game.
But we should be realistic — expecting 50+ apps to become popular before even 1 or 2 incredible nostr apps become popular is idealistic.

A cocktail of half-built apps isn’t going to win us anything. A handful of incredible black holes that millions of people use and hop between with the same nsec will make us win. Instead of 50 apps, maybe it’ll only be 3 or so at first… the infinite slop machine is not the way. Cloning TikTok/Vine feels like a step backwards, a feeble attempt at virality.

Free thinkers digest and assess a thought, regardless of who it comes from. Feeble thinkers rely on status and heuristics to assess if the thought might be valuable. The difference between the two is simple — one is trust-minimized, ignoring the trust in the party’s authority in favor of analyzing the actual content of the thought.
At the heart of the scientific method and free thought, therein lies trust-minimization and verification through the reproducibility of logic. Even knowledge itself spreads through being able to reproduce it locally, like life itself. 🧬 Knowledge, like life, decentralizes itself through us.

I recall reading this study in 2018:
An mTORC1-to-CDK1 Switch Maintains Autophagy Suppression during Mitosis
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1097276519307944
Autophagy and its DNA repair can be suppressed during cell division/growth.

2025-11-23 17:39:57 UTC

- reply

I’m curious if there are studies showing how cell replication halts during DNA repair, at least in the cells being repaired.
Hence why I said humanity’s DNA may have prioritized aggressive proliferation over stopping growth to repair DNA.

2025-11-23 17:37:12 UTC

- reply

It seems that destruction of precancerous cells via autophagic-induced apoptosis (while fasting or otherwise) is the trade-off the DNA of humanity chose — perhaps in favor of more aggressive proliferation. Now that the human race is highly evolved, we may be able to shift that trade-off away from indiscriminate apoptosis of mildly damage cells to only inducing apoptosis in cells that are resistant to these advanced forms of DNA repair! 🧬

That doesn’t excuse the oversight of lifting the OP_RETURN limit, which sends a legal signal that bitcoin is a haven for arbitrary storage (rather than tightening it, sending the opposite signal). If you don’t get it, then you clearly don’t understand the threat environment.
