I'm a power user. I've spent the last 20 years making money exploiting normies inability to understand how to use computer systems & software. I've been a conduit between the tech & user (help desk, trainer, courseware developer, tester, etc). Devs don't understand users & users don't understand tech. It's always been the case as long as I can remember. I will persist through the most irritating & confusing stuff just to figure out what I can do to make software work for me.
I've watched the interfaces get more intuitive & easy to use. I've spent years wondering whether my skills will become redundant. Even with ai, I think I could still make decent money exploiting this mismatch between what users expect & what the software delivers.
The people have gotten dumber, lazier & more trusting over the last 20 years. They don't want control or responsibilty. They don't want to understand they just want the tech to make their lives easier & more convenient.
Nostr is very similar to Bitcoin in many respects. It is for anyone but not everyone. This is a delineation that many don't appreciate.
If you're on Nostr right now there's a very good chance you're part of the remnant. I may not like what you have to say but I respect you for choosing Nostr to express it.
The set of people who see the value proposition of NOSTR and want to use it is not perfectly coincidental with the set of people who have the prerequisite technical proficiency necessary to use NOSTR. to have made the necessary choices to begin levelling up their tech/code game 20 years ago. We can't go back in time and make different choices.
The anti-social devs need to level up their people game and alpha test their shit with normies, end of story. Any time someone develops software or a spreadsheet or whatever, they're completely engrossed in their own creation and they know it inside and out. Their perspective is nowhere near the perspective of the noob walking into this for the first time. That's why the alpha testing is necessary.
