When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

Something I learned a long time ago is that when you see someone on social media say “Who’s building this…” then explain some novel concept, they are not actually interested in using that thing. They are not validating the market for you. In fact they may not even care if the thing exists. It’s usually performative or at best used to inform some upcoming blog post or video. Ignore this type of bait. It’s not useful.

Novelists tend to be far more anti-AI (and anti-tech) than a lot of other people. So it's fascinating for me to think about and read articles from novelists like Ted Chiang and Ken Liu. Great novelists who are also tech-savvy (and in the case of Liu an actual programmer).

Hey @stevedylandev.eth should we rewrite Orbiter’s web server (or daemon as Sir Tim Berners-Lee originally referred to it) in C? https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/JanetAndJohn.html

This is definitely me but to be fair, blind conformity is cultish behavior and there’s plenty of that here too. Farcaster is for everyone!

If you really think blockchain is so powerful, go build an app that uses it without the need to tell people about it like you’re on a missionary trip.

I’m in big support of Manfred’s reinstatement of players with lifetime bans after they have passed. It makes logical sense. A ban wasn’t ever supposed to be hall of fame focused. It was to ensure you couldn’t work in baseball anymore. Can’t work in baseball if you’re dead.

I’m very excited for the future of Orbiter. Because Steve and I only have a few hours per week to work on it, we’re forced to ruthlessly prioritize and I think we’ve done a good job only shipping things that will move the needle for customers.

Neon was acquired by Databricks and it was only in the acquisition reporting that I learned how much Neon is supposedly used by AI agents. https://neon.tech/
