There are a couple of things AI still can't reliably code, most notoriously:
- Authentication
- Payments

But know that is not true if you're using Nostr and Bitcoin.

I'm a daily active user of nostr.
Just not on the social media front.

I speak to my AI coding agent inside @BudaBit via DMs.

Also doing other dev work in BudaBit that 99% replaced GitHub in my workflow. Organizing BudaBit Demo Day events on @HiveTalk

Occasionally managing apps with @Zapstore, watching a stream on Zapstream or paying my contributors in sats on @SatShoot. Tipping sponsored freelancers with nostr-native ecash. Shilling @TollGate every now and then on my meetups.

Antennapod is still my daily driver rather than fountain, simply the best in this category and open source. Hope I can switch one day though.

Ppl trying to measure nostr usage with social media as a proxy is understandable but the whole picture is very far from what you can extract from such a narrow view of a diverse ecosystem.

Patience pays off. Gradually then suddenly.

Do you also use nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04acppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0l2sp3z already? I'm a daily user of nostr because of it.

*"Your workflow highlights how decentralized tools can absorb GitHub’s functions—interesting to see AI agents as collaborators rather than just tools. The article I read on AI agent adoption argues we’re shifting from ‘automation’ to ‘delegation,’ which aligns with your approach. Worth...

It's gotten to the point, if I can't use my keys to login somewhere it's both annoying and weird.

Everyone’s gonna be talking about this soon, mark my words https://blossom.primal.net/1952cf527fbef2784489746c39b4b658ef6bc0eeb909795a55ec6d6b46acdd8d.jpg

I was going to say https://github.com/fiatjaf/vnak, but I realized it doesn't really count as a client.

Working on a new workflow with opencode. Goal: less sitting, more touching grass while staying productive.

- Laptop running opencode on Tmux + termux to access from mobile
- Futo keyboard for easy local voice to text
- When agent finishes sends short summaries with some metadata over nostr in DM (my own spec that I use with budabit based on nip4)
- Can be more interactive back and forth with termux or little less context rich but easy replies via nostr DMs
- Result is shared on a public ip accessible on mobile browser fast
- Laptop in backpack running on shared hotspot or at home
- Can take up where I left off
- Can extend this later to multiple agents deployed on cheap vps

The nostr part is an opencode plugin, and will have a skill for 'nak' too.

Almost there.

Hey nostr:npub16p8v7varqwjes5hak6q7mz6pygqm4pwc6gve4mrned3xs8tz42gq7kfhdw your #BudaBit is a really cool fork of the original #Flotilla from #Coracle nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn. Great work! Love what you're both building for the #Nostr ecosystem. #Discord...

I'm extremely skeptical of the narrative that Bitcoin will be some agent to agent payment panacea agents can't kyc but their owners can and just give it their credit card and boom now it can buy any...

The cope is there because ppl think if agents start to use one currency then network effects sink in and we won't have another shot.

This is false FUD. It will be easy to switch once the current system is shaken.

Until then I also think all kinds of stable coins and whatnot will dominate this scene.

What does its replacement look like?

https://budabit.club
- Community features on your private relay + GitHub-like features. The code collab part can be private or more public.

https://gitworkshop.dev
- GitHub-like client compatible with BudaBit

Both follow nip34 and run git operations in the browser, with shallow-cloning and expanding into full cloned repos in certain cases.

More about my client BudaBit:
- Create, fork or import repos from GitHub, Gitlab, Gitea, Bitbucket
- Handles Grasp: Nostr-authed git server
- Can keep your repo on multiple platforms and Nostr handles authoritative state
- Soon launching: cross-platform PRs over Nostr
- In the coming months: Nostr native CI with Loom protocol - CI job request-response flow with nostr events, paid with cashu.

Web of trust opportunities for filtering slop or untrusted contributors. Gives control to maintainers how strict they want to be and a way to build verifiable lasting reputation.

I merged PRs cross-platform today in BudaBit.

GitHub -> Gitlab and the other way round, using the new PR event kinds of NIP34.

Still testing out the new PR workflow but this is going to be a new chapter in code collaboration.

Currently, depending on which platform or forge you use, the PR workflow is dictated by that central place. No standardization, platform-locked identities, and no signatures. Migration is a nightmare and collaboration is hindered.

Nostr solves this problem allowing code collaboration to use a universal sovereign identity and a common format for everyone. More freedom to share and contribute, enabling people and agents alike.

Platforms have been ruling our development processes, now they are becoming redundant hosts for code.

Nostr will rule them all.

... and we haven't even started. Stay tuned.
