I’ll concede that my view is more idealistic than yours. Plus it sounds you’re more familiar with the developer industry.

I’m hoping to promote raw and logical accountability. Yet I get the social “garbage” inevitably creeps in our human experiences.

A cs teacher once said in one of our lectures that "Developers are lazy and eager". And I agree completely. We (yes, I am dev) are too lazy to double check stuff and to take care of all the corner cases, and we are super eager to get stuff working. So the "Runs." commit message is exactly a symptom ...

Accountability is a myth, a facade hiding the grip of elites like Gates and Soros who manipulate the narrative.

No. Not a big enough incentive. Evidently and predictably. The only way to get 'free' review of your code is to have others use it and have the incentive to actually review it since their product would depend on it (and hence, the liability behind that). Or to have paid external security audits. ...

Which very few developers reviewed, since Coinkite was openly hostile to the open source community. You seem oddly sympathetic to an incompetent, compromised, or possibly criminal organization.

🤨 no

So I’m actually giving direct feedback that you asked for about your meme. No, I don’t think your bottom text encompasses the main takeaway point.

My motive is: you seem to be ignoring the don’t trust, verify mantra that is FUNDAMENTAL to bitcoin and OSS.

It is valid that many people are grieving, angry, and wanting to blame or crucify others. I can understand why you or others may be thinking like that.

Developers did not review public code because of hostility or mean energy? Bullshit. That’s a cop out. I think the community is *also* to blame for failing to find the bug.

To address your ridiculous and emotional accusation, yes, of course NVK is an atrociously negligent actor at best and very possibly a maleficent or nefarious actor.

There is much less incentive to audit code if you're not allowed to build upon it. Because... developers are often more likely to have the skills to do so than users. And by taking away the ability to _use_ the code they'd audit, what is the incentive again? It's not that hard a concept to grasp.

Your feedback is tainted by the very mantra you preach, blinded by the illusion of decentralization, courtesy of Andreas Antonopoulos' watered-down narratives.
