That screenshot is some Lynchian horror. "#engineering. New direction, team – we're moving the prototype to Flutter" and then the humans and agent bots engage in flirty emoji-filled chats with cutesy names "I nailed the physics, UI shell @Honeybot?" I'm trying to imagine a world in which this makes sense as a way to organize software development work, but coming up short. It's on a blockchain or something though, so…

I have a premonition of future programming despair, and I wonder if it'll be like what Ian McKellen felt: A veteran of Shakespearean plays, doing all those [correction, not LoTR] The Hobbit green-screen shots interacting with no real person...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s kinda interesting seeing what, IIRC, was originally a subreddit name which spawned from an AskReddit thread, is now a common marketing phrase in the tech world. Similar to the sub itself, it’s now just shorthand for “describe using the first principles the expected audience should understand.” I imagine a lot of people in the industry also fondly remember the 2010s reddit experience.

"If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself." - Albert Einstein (allegedly :)) I always thought that the quote was with "5 year old" and that it was the reason for ELI5 :)

"An alleged scientific discovery has no merit unless it can be explained to a barmaid," Lord Rutherford of Nelson.

There should be some name for the phenonenom of assigning anything pithy to Einstein.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the advantage of decentralization and cryptographically signed events in the context of a work chat/ coordination tool? Could a company not accomplish the same goal self hosting something like zulip?

Jack is invested in Nostr.

> Explain Like I'm 5 > Buzz is an open-source, self-hosted workspace that combines team chat, AI agents and Git hosting using signed Nostr events, so teams can keep control of their data. Very different expectations of 5-year-olds.

Just yesterday, left puzzled with the ELI5 I was given, I did the next reasonable thing… “ELI4”

We need something like this and I have been thinking a lot about how to build it. Zulip is closest to what I want but quite untuitive to new employees. It would be fantastic to have one universal app to talk to Claude Code over SSH, employees in Slack-like team chat, and customers and external people over regular email. I want the semantics of email (thread based conversations, inbox zero, universally works with everything) with the UX and speed of Telegram. The protocol I am trying to design is something like SSH that gracefully degrades to POP3/SMTP/IMAP.
