 i'm always up for answering questions about Golang and distributed systems if you want technical help.

yesterday some ETHheads popped into my feed to muddy the waters with lies and half truths about consensus algorithms and nostr that made many people confused. YES nostr needs a consensus algorithm but NO absolutely not a blockchain, it doesn't need strong consistency. facebook and twitter etc don't have strongly consistent databases neither do we.

that sort of thing.

i'm not doing a lot of Go coding at the moment, working on some container deployment scripting stuff but probably will get to do some async/concurrent code again soon, which is my favourite.
