Fun OSS encounter story: 15 years ago, the WebSocket spec just came out and preliminary implementations were live. I wanted to prototype a little in-browser MMO, but the one implementation out there was node.websocket.js by an Argentinian fella named Guillermo Rauch.

Guillermo's library was only half-working for what I needed, so I ended up forking it and rewriting it entirely (https://github.com/shazow/node.websocket.js). I suggested some of the changes upstream, we discussed over email. I built my demo using my fork, while Guillermo also did a rewrite that became socket.io which was fantastic! So good that I didn't feel the need to keep working on my fork.

It's funny to think that there's an alternate universe where I went on to build the urllib3 of nodejs websockets.

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized: That Guillermo is the same @rauchg who went on to create /nextjs and founded @vercel. I didn't stand a chance! 🙇

Open source doesn’t happen in a vacuum and it’s the result of sharing and learning from the work of others. Great memories of the beginning of socket.io and @shazow.eth’s part in the story.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Help us build Optimism! The Proofs team at OP Labs needs Solidity and Go engineers. 

There’s work to be done on enabling more options in the proof system, including multi-proofs which is the path to stage 2 - and there are working ZK proofs for the OP Stack already!

Look, I don’t have a course you can buy, a seminar you can attend, or a patented 12-step program to transform your life overnight. I’m not trying to sell you anything.

So when I tell you to divest from the bullshit and focus on what really matters, it’s not because I’m trying to get you to buy my “Divesting for Dummies” book. It’s because I genuinely think it might help.
