I can also see how the amorphous nature of Nostr makes some programmers uncomfortable and frustrated - but this is actually beauty in my mind since it more closely mimics the natural world vs the deterministic centralized matrix... we should work with it and not against it. "Let it go".

I personally think the fun part about Nostr as a network is that it doesn't have a centralized "steady state" source of truth. Depending on what parts of the network you're hooked up to and how you interact with them, there's an amorphous version of your npub out there that looks different depending on what lenses (relays? clients?) it's being observed through.

We need more open source tools like this available widely and implemented in clients to provide an effective "steady state" of things for users, but ultimately it's up to all of us as users to implement them for ourselves and control our own truth.
