Yeah, I now need a model of the code base that also includes the proper way to interact with the LLM. I think gen-coders don't notice this, until the project reaches a certain size and they have to actively babysit the AI and explain seemingly obvious stuff to it, for hours.
At the beginning, the issues are more generic and the AI does it all automagically.
By coding day 55, the dev is typing in all caps. 😂

2025-11-22 05:56:15 UTC

The reason you are seeing vibe code projects getting abandoned everywhere is because vibe coding is _grueling, never-ending labour_, like all software development. It is not fun. It is work. And the less foundational knowledge and experience you have about software development, testing, systems architecture, symbolic logic, and DevOps, the faster it becomes work, and the faster the project becomes abandoned, or melts down into a buggy mess.
It seems fun.
At the beginning.

If you are a developer or relay admin, and want to make sure that your client or relay can handle the #bookstr macro, I would suggest you read the spec [[NKBIP-08]]:

Or do the second fetch with a 100-event limit.

I'd do it in two rounds. Open up streams for 3 seconds into a map. Aggregate by npub, count how many notes they published, filter out those over X times, refetch the rest for the remainder, with a 10-second timeout.

I think we need more competition in specifications, to increase the quality. So, we agree there. The problem is that any Nostr voting system will quickly degrade, as it is a social network, which is automatically transformed into a popularity contest, rather than free and informed discourse about the subject under evaluation.
Nepotism is the ultimate centrifugal force.
Why are the specs so low quality?
They aren't. The specs you are looking at are low quality. You should ask yourself why you aren't looking at better specs.

I used to think along these lines, but then I decided to Nostr even harder and just embrace the chaos. Everytime we tried to organize more formally, it immediately became the same hierarchy, as always. I work too hard on this stuff, and care too much, to just shut up and take orders.
There seem to be sort of Topical Pools forming, wherein developers interact and try to stay interoperable. But the Pools sometimes drift a bit away from and toward each other, and I think that's okay.
I actually don't see major interop problems on Nostr. Interop has been 10x worse, at every day job I've had, working on logistics interfaces, medical records, CAN bus systems, industrial message brokers, billing systems, and stuff.
So many of the devs coming from a Bitcoin background means they are used to smooth interfacing, but this is actually smooth interfacing, in the real world.
