Some may critique nostr development, or OpenSats development saying that a "lone wolf developer" cannot build to the quality of a professional software team. This is closed source mentality, or closed product valuation exit strategy.
Opensource development has exactly ZERO lone wolves. Everything that is built and will be built is created using many sources in collaboration. This is what we call "upstream" sources for your project. Libraries, operating systems, everything down to sometimes even the hardware can be opensource.
Working on nostr projects means working via classic opensource workflows. You depend on an upstream? You will be in the git, filing issues, sending PRs, writing docs and helping out because you are building a snowball into a snowman. The more you contribute, the better the upstreams and your own software becomes.
In the last year I've appreciated that OpenSats understands this and encourages it. I've spent time contributing to a number of nostr projects, because they are all a part of my own project in some way.
