The two things that irked me was the misunderstanding around soft forks and the constant comparison of our engineering with aircraft engineering. Aircrafts have an intense maintenance schedule, last 30 years, and have a long supply chain. Things that don't translate well to what we do.
I also got the impression that the past soft forks were apparently in the disinterest of miners, when in truth miners were often fighting users over increasing the block size. The idea that past miner expectation has to be fulfilled at any cost seems bad too. There is no single expectation and it is not clear which point in time we should take to measure this expectation. I get the feeling that the whole argument seemingly caters to the big public mining companies. But we already have soft fork activation mechanisms for them to express their opinions, so the whole line of arguments feels like a straw man for what you already pointed out as a 'gold bug' vision.
Cash on the internet is my goal and this seems to be running against it a bit.

2) is this even solvable?
4) or you argue your point, mobilize support and get your PR merged. If good work is still rejected, argue your point with better evidence, my experience is there is always at least one other person that will be sympathetic to you. And sometimes your idea just might be shit.
6) this just recreates git?
8) maybe suggest reforms for either adding more editors, or editors focusing on singular topics?
There will always be editors for evolving technical documentation, or it will become unreadable over time.

Twitter is full of noooooticers dunking on each other to farm engangement, bluesky is still walled off, threads is way too corpo, mastodon has all these niche instances making connecting harder and diversity of thought more difficult to curate, nostr is a bit dead and seems to fail to reach non-bitcoiners. Can't we just all go back to IRC and have fun again?

Mmh, yeah, how about we get rid of the dependency that injects weird behaviour into our code.

"The word 'crypto' today represents a repugnant abomination, a festering swamp of duplicity and moral decay, so utterly despicable and irreparably tainted that it casts a dark shadow over the noble aspirations of Bitcoin. This loathsome 'industry', birthed from the most corrupt recesses of greed and deception, deserves nothing but to be vehemently denounced and abandoned, lest its foul stench continues to defile the purity of Bitcoin's visionary premise."

I feel like this applies to specced protocols in general, but not sure about Bitcoin. The problem is that its consensus is always re-implemented from a reference client, and a bug free reimplementation is close to impossible imo.
