Had a great call with rusty, he found a few bugs in nostrdb and reworked a bunch of dubious code.

Hard to describe how huge it is to have rusty hacking on nostr. He authored the majority of the lightning protocol spec (why we even have zaps today), one of the best lightning implementations (core lightning), iptables in linux, linus torvalds mentioned him as one of his top deputies in 2003. Every time I submitted code to core-lightning he ended up making the code 1000x better. Probably one of the best coders I have ever interacted with.

Engineering talent is steadily increasing. Legacy social should be terrified. nostr:note1zh6l4fnrguqhmxfxy7qurrpgcjyp3e6h22lv8rkg7t9yuc699t0q349t7z


Way to go Rusty 🙌


Wow. Dude is a legend and it's fascinating to see that he's here working on improving Nostr 🥹


Legend.


This is a fantastic use of his skills. Hope he spends more time on nostr and less on GSR.
