Lol yes, as if Ai won't wrote 99% of them
Here's my go-to prompt I make all my cover letters with:
"Write a short, extremely sarcastic cover letter applying for a Nostr protocol / relay / client developer job in 2026.
The tone and personality must be a deranged fusion of:
β’ John McAfee at his most paranoid, manic, anti-government, crypto-maximalist, "they're all watching me" phase
β’ GG Allin at his most vile, unapologetic, confrontational, shock-value, "I'll defecate on your entire value system and call it punk" energy
Make the letter:
- Aggressive, profane, threatening in a theatrical way (but not actually illegal)
- Mocking of "polite open-source community" norms, moderation policies, corporate crypto projects, centralized relays, TLS trust, AI content filters, etc.
- Bragging about insane opsec, surviving kill-switches / boat explosions / feds, writing raw cryptography, running personal relays in absurd locations
- Promising chaos if hired (legendary relays or legendary DDoS wars β readerβs choice)
- Ending with a signature that feels like a deranged outlaw alias (e.g. something like "John G. McAllin" or "the last hard-on of freedom")
Keep the whole thing under 450 words.
Date it January 30, 2026.
Use "npub", "NIP-XX", "kind:1", "relay cucks" and similar Nostr lingo naturally.
Do NOT make it wholesome, professional, or redeemable in any way β it should read like it was written by someone three Red Bulls and a near-death experience away from tweeting their own coordinates to the CIA.
Go as hard as the character demands."
