My brain has been rewiring over the past year or two - decomposing specific patterns of thinking.
Like I uses to have ambitions to work for big tech, but now I find the idea extremely distasteful. But all the systems of thinking in my life are still coupled with that way of thinking, so I keep hitting something like an invalid memory address error or invalid operation while trying to think of plans for the future.

@groovestomp we're also inspired with @plausible ... we're not sure about having a permissive license while starting out.

We aim at 15MRR by Q4'22.

@groovestomp oh, i didn't mention that full time is not required at all. It's all about the impact made on the project.

We're also somewhat building in public, I can send you an invite to Zulip if you're interested.

@groovestomp if you want to contribute this functionality: https://youtu.be/47K_htx-R1I , it'd be enough to get a share of the cooperative's profits for 2022. Currently there are four people eligible for equal profit split.

@jonn I _really_ appreciate the suggestion!

That said... I really just need some personal time I think. I've been thinking of going completely independent - like a bootstrapped business doing local-first, online-capable software or _something_. I mean I've thought about doing jukebox repair because the opportunity came up. I've been getting into cars lately, so the idea of doing mechanic work came up.

Classic mid-life crisis I guess! 😄

@groovestomp that's cool. Honestly, I can barely do software, so it's really cool that you have these awesome skills!

If anything changes, do tell. We have plenty of non-tech challenges too.

@jonn I'm curious about this now!

@groovestomp my friend already made considerable progress, but join our Zulip anyway!

(Zulip is F&OSS and older version of Slack). Sending an invite now.

@jonn Thanks! I might primarily be a lurker, but when things are slow at work maybe I can dig in.

@jonn @groovestomp looks beautiful 👍 I would like to try something similar with focus on lightning adaption and support or host nodes for small businesses.

@zed @groovestomp lightning as in lightning #xbt network? Why not some PoS like Cardano or Tezos?
Show threadzedJan 12, 2022
@jonn @groovestomp I don't want to support those solutions. I like the bitcoin lightning network. Pos is kind of a fiat 2.0 with some centralized owners and their ruleset.

@zed nah, but ok.
