Stared into the abyss a few times. Not turning back. Ever.

"Never take advantage of a customer, or an employee. But take ALL the advantage you possibly could of a company that is NOT being fair and honest."

- Les Schwab

Nostr helps me do that.

With Rust, you can be your OWN garbage collector.

Devs Alert!

Let's try this experiment: I'm going to try to boost productivity of the development of SatShoot this way:

1. Will create Tickets in SatShoot pointing to GitHub issues

2. Share it as kind1 for everyone to see

3. Waiting for aspiring open-source devs to bid on these issues in SatShoot

Why not just post bounties you may ask? I don't believe bounties are a good way to incentivize development. You start to work on sth and hope to win the bounty. If you don't win you don't make money, your time is mostly wasted. Only one person or team can win because that's easier to handle for the poster of the bounty. So you don't bother, it's too much risk.

You need the precommitment from the job poster but he needs competition to hire the best dev available. This is why contract negotiation works better than bounties. However, you can get the competitive nature of bounties with SatShoot: Everyone interested will bid on the Ticket. You can negotiate with the potential Client in DM and even edit things until you come to agreement BUT ANYONE CAN BID on Tickets as long as they are NOT taken. Competition and contract negotiation.

A Ticket in SatShoot is essentially a Request For Quote and an Offer is a Bid or a Quote to solve that problem. I think this model captures best what nostr is about: Open competition in an Unstoppable market fueled by freedom tech.

What do you guys think? Let me know and I'll be excited to run this experiment!

Building businesses on information asymmetry as the core of the business model will get less and less feasible by the day. Information wants to be free. In the information age your business cannot be built like before:

"Middle-man as a service"

Do better. Build better. I believe that betting on business models with long time-preference incentives will work out better eventually:

- Open source therefore verifiable, remixable, viral. More eyes on it, the better.

- Brand ~ Reputation is still big and here to stay. Think about Your reputation as a business or entrepreneur, but also the reputation of users - status matters and you better make use of this.

- Centralized but optional ancillary services. This is NOT freemium. This is standards-based(eg DVM) free market of extra features that some users might find useful but they can choose any service they like. No vendor lock-in
