When I was working part-time at Soapbox, or before I worked there at all, my previous job had periods of downtime mixed with busy stretches. That downtime allowed me to be on Nostr frequently and post throughout the day. Now that Iโ€™m full-time at Soapbox, Iโ€™m incredibly busy, and I find myself posting on Nostr far less than I used to. I just wanted to say that I miss you Nostr. I hope you're well. I hope you're thriving. Keep building.

Stuck in an airport for 6 hours, but you're vibe coding, so it's no big.

When your connecting flight is delayed, you don't get mad, you bring out the vibes with #OpenCode.

The most exciting moment for me this past weekend was around 3am early Sunday morning, 18 hours into the hackathon, when @hzrd149 cracked Bitchat for Capacitor, enabling Bitchat support with BLE mesh for our Android and iOS (assuming iOS works, untested at this point) apps. I had my doubts. @Alex Gleason had faith in the code. @hzrd149 gave up a few hours earlier. But @hzrd149 persisted. And his hard work and persistence paid off. ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

The HRF AI Hackathon at Bitcoin Park left me with three big takeaways. First, Iโ€™m more bullish than ever on building freedom technology for the people who need it most, human rights activists and freedom fighters. These tools matter, and they make a real difference. Second, modern AI-powered software development is absolutely incredible. Huge shout-out to OpenCode and Shakespeare (and Claude Opus 4.5). Our team could not have taken second place without them. And finally, we need a Nostr AI Hackathon. What our team was able to build by being locked in a room together for a sleep-deprived weekend was both fun and astonishing. We accomplished an incredible amount in a very short time. Good morning and pura vida, Nostr. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ
