I disagree with all of these. But my largest takeaway is how do you expect developers to eat if they do not take money? starting a business is hard work and it puts you and your family at risk. being able to take grants is a life saving tool and I do not fault anyone for being able to do so.

People who whine about stuff they get for free, never ever contribute anything. People who appreciate stuff they get for free are the only ones that ever contribute to the improvement of stuff they get for free. One group acts like petulant children, the other file bug reports. It's really that simple.

Oh come on! That’s silly! Let’s now tell to everyone who join nostr and give their feedback or criticize it “start contributing” with such mind set you guys will be alone on here circle jerking the same stuff all over again! P.S. I have dedicated my free time(a year I believe) by contributing as much as I could on here for joy and entertainment purposes. But you probably already forgot it😏

You might not like my response but I will say it because you might not see how it looks like from the other angle or you know it and that’s the goal! Derek, you are as simp king on here disagree with the any criticism and trying to please everyone and everything for your future own benefits to build around nostr plebs or build yourself as another “nostr guru”. I never seen any takes from you that you criticized or took the other sides! About the developers how they will eat. It’s very simple to understand the fact that in open source environment most likely you will contribute for free or someone will donate. Developers who have to feed their families should figure out how to monetize their products or work in other fields to make $ if they can’t do it in bitcoin or on nostr! Coming on nostr and simping because there are few VCs and few none profits giving away billionaire money is the most cringe way to do!
