Reminds me when I first got into programming. I was in the Air Force and to office I worked in used macromedia' coldfusion. There were a bunch of contractors who had been hit by the dotcom bubble popping. They would all say to me "just wait untill you do 'real' programming like Java" 20+ years later and I never did write a single line of Java but I did learn through trial and error how to structure my applications over time.
If coldfusion hadn't existed maybe I would have never gotten into programming. But I'm here now on #nostr with all you #nostriches #zapping #bitcoin to strangers over #lightning and I understand how all of it works.
In the long run, #AI making it easier for the next Ian to get started, without needing to work in an office of developers, will compound the growth of the userbase of Bitcoin and nostr.
