After reading some of the casts here regarding vibe coding, I've made the executive decision to try and do my best to learn code so I can build Cadena myself.
Vibe coding is fantastic, don't get me wrong, but AI often writes brittle spaghetti code that isn't very sustainable.
Cadena is gonna be a long-term project, and I mean a LONG long-term project. I expect this to be my life's work and will probably keep building it till the day I return to the Earth. Planting fig trees I will never rest under.
I'm building it because I genuinely believe our world desperately needs it, especially as we witness society rapidly crumble to pieces before our eyes. We will need tools, protocols and interfaces that allow us to construct new systems and institutions.
I just want to make sure that what I build is sustainable and maintainable for future generations, and that will require the hard work of learning dev myself. If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it right.
And of course, I plan to make $0 from this. Cadena will always be 100% free, decentralized, and open source. No VCs. That much is non-negotiable.
