It's the grind. The devs almost all bow out in the medium term because of the never-ending grind. AI doesn't stop the grind; it makes it more relentless and gives you more code and infrastructure to grind.
Or, as we say around these parts:

Building jumble-imwald and the Alexandria library.
On the importance of being pretty.
Jumble #imwald


This. I just had the same issue, implementing full outboxes and hints, random outboxes, and relay monitoring.
It immediately got crazy-complicated (and slow), and then I started iterating over that feature set and it got progressively faster, smoother, and simpler.

I said this, years ago, and it's still true. And now the clients and relays are actually getting pretty good. The quality of my experience is already higher, on my Jumble, than on Slack or Telegram. Which I hadn't thought possible and am sort of surprised by.
We never had anything worth advertising to a larger audience, until now. The feature set was too small and the quality was too low.
I think we're going to see a big jump in useability and comprehensiveness, this year, and a marketing push next year. I know that @GitCitadel has big plans.

Your relays should handle small and capital letter filters, please. Stop throwing errors on #E or #I or whatnot.
