Oddbean new post about login | logout How do you get a gig though? As someone who managed a fair share of planning and BI teams I don't see myself getting a gig like this in an open source project.
You can just start helping
yes. this is basically what nostr:nprofile1qqspw5udc2nzw6wsj3plrrphe0343744h0ucz9e4g248chl3w8kh03qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdau8gu3wv3jhvqgjwaehxw309amk7apww468smewdahx2falfwt did in late 2022. one day he just appeared and started submitting bug reports.
I understand in theory, in practice does everything in the project get coordinated via gitgub and that's the place I want to go to find my utility?
I volunteered as a PM to get started on my first crypto project. The project lead wrote a post-mortem about a failed product launch. I replied to him describing how a PM could help the next launch attempt succeed and joined the project based on a subsequent conversation. I do find it difficult to be accepted as a PM in the decentralized world, although as the year have passed that resistance seems to be diminishing. Rather than "management"I tend to think of the work as "coordinatation", which tends to be perceived as less centralized and heavy handed. One tactical step you could take is to create a GitHub project board from an existing project and try and do some initial organization of current issues. If you're not a contributor to the repo, try forking it and creating the board in your fork. Hope that helps a little...
No need to ask permission when it comes to open source. Take your skills and find where they are needed… then DO
Do you mean just pick a project and go to the github repository to find what's needed.
I started the project and hired myself. 😂
You could make a "playbook". I think many motivated non-developers in the project management/marketing could be really useful and I think you would have valuable first-steps and guidance for those that want to learn to work with engineers managing a their own projects in a professional manner. I'm going to write this down for another podcast topic for when I have time, someday, and if you have interest of course.
What's your podcast?
A dead one XD. My co-host got busy with life and so did I so it got put on hold. He's not really interested in this kind of stuff anymore so it's going to need a revamp at some point. https://www.vaughnnugent.com/podcast
Podcast don't die, they just pause for a while :) I'll check it out!
You're right! Hosting is a lot of work (at least for me) and what I thought I wanted. Very trial and error, never really advertised nor had an audience to advertise to. Hoping to get a new co-host at some point or change the style, or do a better job solo. I'm pretty picky about my editing so it usually takes me a couple weekends to edit them up
Listening to the trailer, dude this is good. Yeah idk you should do it #v4v style and then get boosts. Screw ads, sponsorship = censorship. I've done a bunch of work deep in the xml of podcasting 2.0 this week. There is a super nice community here if you have questions. People like RSS blue now for hosting I think. I'm using castapod for my self hosted stuff.
Thank you! I meant advertising as in sharing/spreading it. Once I get my node set up the way I want, I believe I should be able to inject my lnurl into the feed and work with 2.0s right? I actually host it on my own servers using a project I built https://www.vaughnnugent.com/resources/software/modules/CMNext
Also I meant host as in "radio host" XD I love hosting my tech stack, that happens anyway :)
It's your LN address not LNURL, but yes. You add these to the valueRecipient xml tags at the channel level. Buuuut, you can do more granular splits. I made a few episodes on the raw xml stuff see "bitpunk.fm unwound" You can go through what I did, by hand editing the xml. And then you might learn that sovereignfeeds.com makes a decent way to help you craft the xml. https://www.bitpunk.fm/@bitpunkfm_unwound/episodes/valuetimesplits
Got it thank you! I built an XML editor into my CMS (it's actually a JSON editor that gets restructured into XML) so I can do whatever I want :)
Yeah, your crazier than I dude. 🤣 you're not wrong I just don't have the patience to build something like your vault. I listened to your last episode, you should keep it up. Regarding that episode, I think you gotta realize in every clan there's a person. Like you said, granny is mechanic, you may be the tech guy, this is how humans work. We "outsource" like this. But it's better to outsource in the tribe (to Uncle Jim) than outside the tribe (exchanges etc..).
Well I'm building an HTTP framework so, everything is a nail lol. I don't really have to build things from scratch you know. > I listened to your last episode, you should keep it up. I appreciate it! I really plan to. When I started that pod, I was figuring out how to transition out of my old field (automotive) into some sort of tech field, so I was (and still am) learning about the professional tech world. > But it's better to outsource in the tribe (to Uncle Jim) than outside the tribe (exchanges etc..). 100%, and that's a message I will continue to repeat for sure
I also want to say regarding your last episode. I totally agree re everything you said about EC keys. But nip05 can help a bit here. If your key gets leaked, yes you will burn this npub, but you can move your nip05 verification. I don't know if people look that closely, most people are just getting verified by these giant services. But for our own domains runners like you and I, it's maybe a guardrail.
Yeah that's a good point, but you can't transfer your followers though, not a huge deal for me, but that can be a huge deal for larger accounts. I mean it would still suck to get reach on sharing things too. I suppose things like WOT could help if you reach out to friends shortly after your key was compromised. I still hope we can come up with something similar to certificate chains to help transitions like this.
If you want a hosting company that supports PC 2.0 @RSS Blue and Podhome.fm are great options. I like RSS Blue for musicians or people wanting to do a V4V music show Podhome for podcasters since they have some great AI tools to help you built your show. You can also host it all yourself like Bitpunk did, once you figure it all out. 😉
I do it all myself :) https://www.vaughnnugent.com/resources/software/modules/CMNext
Baller name :)
Start compounding relevant proof of work
show up and take the initiative. I watched @elsat do this in real time with damus. pick a project, find who builds it, follow them, review github issues and pull requests, come up to speed on the project and where it’s at, help facilitate and triage stuff. in OSS the onus is on you.
