You would think that something as easy to build with, as Nostr -- that even comes with its own built-in communications channel and extremely cheap, global data storage -- would give rise to many large, low running-cost, volunteer-driven teams, building resilient, stable, complex systems.
But it doesn't, because everyone here is brainwashed by the People In Charge to think that this isn't possible. You can vibe-code some widget, but not build an enterprise system. Enterprise systems are only for the Chosen Few. We are all supposed to just sit around and wait for them to rain apps down on us, from the cloud, as if we were part of some cargo cult of software.
But isn't one goal of Nostr, that there not be any "People in Charge"? Isn't one goal of Nostr, that there not be a Chosen Few? How did we end up with both rules _and_ rulers?
Do you know what it costs to build software?
Time.
Knowledge.
Experience.
Determination.
Trust in your own capabilities. You can learn this stuff. You can form large teams. You can put your noses to the grind and churn out something grand. Nobody needs to pay you a salary, to get you to work, if you work for yourself, building something you want to have.
Just build it.
