Why is your book sold for fiat when you don't want people to buy it with fiat?

Is your book listed on amazon without your permission?

Oh, hey, what a surprising reply! This post is from May 16, 2025. How did you stumble across it? Did you arrive here from the post on my blog? 👀

Thanks for the advice, and for sharing your experience! Always nice to hear one isn't alone.

At this point in my life, I was pretty much burning out, but I didn't acknowledge it yet. It didn't feel right to claim that. I had paradoxical feelings about it: "I'm not doing much because I'm burned out. But how can I be burned out if I'm not doing much?" I also kept thinking about how I really needed a break, but how I also really needed to get this done as soon as possible. I was aware of diminishing returns wrt productivity, but I lost all imagination about what else to do except work.

Well, anyway, I'm glad it's over, and for the experience.

@k00b @sox, FYI, SN is now checking user agents. Is this intended, or is it a bug? I couldn’t find the code that enforces this.

IMO, it's not that deep: Stacker News is more like Reddit. Nostr is more like Twitter.

They don't post on Stacker News for the same reason(s) they don't post on Reddit (I assume, didn't verify).

They don't post on nostr because twitter is better at being twitter than nostr.
