Got a PR from an unknown developer for an inactive Nostr project which I’ve stopped to build since 2 years ago. What a strange & beautiful world!

Our networks shape us and our actions shape our networks, so choose both wisely.

1st note from Notedeck. Many unconventional UI designs here. Deck x Column are good combinations for power users.

DHH speeches get better and better

Is long form still a thing in Nostr？

2nd day of studying RTMP spec. It has lots of features that’s only present in http2, which is 20 years later. If Adobe was smart and embrace openness with Flash, in a parallel universe, we would all use RMTP to ship remote code. It’s in many ways a technically better protocol than http. But a protocol can only succeed with openness. A proprietary protocol is just an internal software implementation.

I enabled copilot on VS code and its hotkey is the same as the normal LSP auto suggestion CMD + I and I found no obvious way to disable copilot. This is why modern free softwares are shitting on users. Free software means authors will not care about professional users because they don’t pay anyway. What most people want end up being what’s shipped and all users get affected.

Reading the RTMP spec because I can’t find an easy to use streaming library to use in any language. FFmpeg is great on CLI but it’s a pain in the ass to integrate programmatically. The more I read the spec, the more I am amazed by how much forgotten gem there is in the legacy Adobe Flash technology. Maybe in a parallel universe, a better Flash became the Web and HTTP & JS died out.

How is your 2024? It has been pain, anger, tears, sweat, suffocation, growth, career change, love, passion and everything else. I fought in 2 BJJ competitions. Got choked to unconsciousness in the 1st and won a silver medal in the second. I wrote lots of JavaScript and worked as a full-time frontend engineer for the first time, coming from a backend engineering backend. I stepped away from programming and started my own podcast which I’ve been wanting to do for years. I started to read books again thanks to friends met in Portugal. I went to Thailand. I confronted with my limitations as a software engineer and closed the chapter of blowater.app I am not leaving Nostr. I believe in a better system for individuals to share and connect with people more than ever. But I will take time to learn before I make my next software. Last but not least, the true coin rocked!
