Here's an awesome #contribution to #nostr. Make sure you follow the author of this note.

I came to Bitcoin late, but when it clicked, it hit hard. I’m not a developer or coder, just someone obsessed with the intersection of Bitcoin, AI, and freedom tech. A couple of decades ago, I dabbled in web development, back when everything was done by hand. I used Notepad to write raw HTML and CSS, and even developed simple systems using MySQL databases, teaching myself as I went. It wasn’t in-depth, but I wore many hats as a small business manager, including the role of webmaster.

Back then, everything I did was self-taught, done from scratch—an approach that shaped how I think about technology. That was over 20 years ago, though. Fast forward to now: when I needed to build a new website, I thought I’d try WordPress, since it’s the standard these days. But honestly, I hated it. WordPress made the easy things harder and took away the fine-grained control I was used to. It frustrated me.

So, I decided to return to hand-coding—but with a modern twist. Enter ChatGPT. I’m using LLMs to help me build the site from scratch, and it’s a completely different process from two decades ago. I’m still teaching myself, but now with AI as my assistant, I can work through problems faster while maintaining the control I’m used to.

This website is a work in progress—not ready for a grand opening, but taking shape. It feels a bit like that XKCD comic where someone builds a system to pass the salt: sure, it seems like I’m spinning my wheels, but it’ll save time in the long run. Right now, I’m building the system to build the system, using AI to explore AI, and thinking about thinking. It’s recursive, and as I figure things out, a critical mass is finally starting to come together.

This is my proof of work—a place to share ideas, even while they’re still rough around the edges. I believe in open-source collaboration, and I’m excited to contribute to the broader conversation about decentralization, resilience, and how freedom tech—from Bitcoin to AI—can reshape the world.

More than anything, I welcome criticism. I’m not putting this out there to be praised, but to learn. If I’m wrong about something, I want to know, because that’s how I’ll get better. Every rough draft, every idea I’m sharing here, is part of the process—of working things out in public and learning as I go. I’ve always believed in learning by doing, and this project is a reflection of that.
