How to build a thriving open source community by writing code like bacteria do 🦠. Bacterial code (genomes) are: - small (each line of code costs energy) - modular (organized into groups of swappable operons) - self-contained (easily "copy paste-able" via horizontal gene transfer) If chunks of code are small, modular, self-contained and trivial to copy-and-paste, the community can thrive via horizontal gene transfer. For any function (gene) or class (operon) that you write: can you imagine someone going "yoink" without knowing the rest of your code or having to import anything new, to gain a benefit? Could your code be a trending GitHub gist? This coding style guide has allowed bacteria to colonize every ecological nook from cold to hot to acidic or alkaline in the depths of the Earth and the vacuum of space, along with an insane diversity of carbon anabolism, energy metabolism, etc. It excels at rapid prototyping but... it can't build complex life. By comparison, the eukaryotic genome is a significantly larger, more complex, organized and coupled monorepo. Significantly less inventive but necessary for complex life - for building entire organs and coordinating their activity. With our advantage of intelligent design, it should possible to take advantage of both. Build a eukaryotic monorepo backbone if you have to, but maximize bacterial DNA.

We’ve just launched a new vision paper on User-Centric Credentialing & Personal Data Sharing. It proposes a trusted, portable way for people to control and use their own data - unlocking access to services and opportunity at scale. 📥 Read it here: vc.cdpi.dev/

i hate recycling recycling the same set of onchain users from 1 app to another the only solution? grow the pie, get new users onchain i am doing my little bit by doing this workshop with a serious, population scale product builder @SurendraSingh in Bangalore on "Blockchain beyond the price : NFTs", the idea is to expose new users to the onchain economy beyond the price centric main stream conversation please get a normie friend along and we can insult them together with derogatroy name calling like this once they are on the inside link in the comments

listen in for a 6 minute overview of the Finternet! youtu.be/QCAOfslRrbw?feature…

📢Get ready for the exciting next episode of BOCTalks 2.0 tomorrow! Our featured guest SurendraSingh Sucharia – an instrumental figure driving the development of @ONEST_Network will be in conversation with Bharath Shankar Ganapathy, spearheading the rollout of Beckn-enabled networks. 🚀 Together they will explore the transformative power of open networks in the realm of #learning and #livelihood.🌐 The duo will be tackling big questions about: 🔸️How do we break down the barriers and siloes in the education space? 🚧 🔸️How can we bridge the daunting skill-job gap that persists in India? 🌉 🔸️How can we enable equitable access to education and upskilling and create pathways to secure jobs? 🔓 If you haven't already, now is the time to register!📝 🔗 Link: lu.ma/jtrc4isv ONEST is incubated by the EkStep Foundation and backed by the Open Network For Digital Commerce (ONDC), with FIDE as the Protocol Partner and Protean eGov Technologies as the Knowledge Partner. #BecknProtocol #OpenNetworks #ONEST #learning #skilling #livelihood #Transformation #BecknOpenCollective #community

How can we leverage #technology to design for the #agency of users? By seeing technology as an aid that can unlock the pre-existing value of the ecosystem rather than as the solution. The journeys of large-scale transformations in India's #digitalrevolution are testaments (1/2).
