"When it works it's amazing" Hiring & training agents Agents creating RAG databases of NIPs Different models and their context windows Generalists vs specialists "Write drunk, edit sober" DVMCP.fun Recklessness and destruction of vibe-coding Sharing secrets with agents & LLMs The "no API key" advantage of nostr What data to trust? And how does nostr help? Identity, web of trust, and signing data How to fight AI slop Marketplaces of code snippets Restricting agents with expert knowledge Trusted sources without a central repository Zapstore as the prime example "How do you fight off re-inventing GitHub?" Using large context windows to help with refactoring Code snippets for Olas, NDK, NIP-60, and more Using MCP as the base Using nostr as the underlying substrate Nostr as the glue & the discovery layer Why is this important?

Recency bias & hiding publication dates Undoing platform conditioning as a success metric Craving realness in a fake attention world The theater of the attention economy What TikTok got "right" Porn, FoodPorn, EarthPorn, etc. Porn vs Beauty Smoothness and awe "Beauty is an angel that could kill you in an instant (but decides not to)."
