Bootstrapping is freedom.
If you can build it, test it, and ship it, why give up equity to do what you already know how to do?
Optionality matters more than early capital.

#Journelly remains top 10 under App Store lifestyle apps in quite a few countries.
Number 1 in Slovenia 🫡🙏😊🥺

Good and bad #bootstrapping and #lisp news.
Timothy Sample has been exploring to write a #bootstrappable syntax-case implementation (the first?) and using GNU Mes to prototype that, sponsored by @nlnet .
Sadly, it didn't perform and #NLnet apparently didn't choose to extend his grant. (Boo!)
Edit: I was contacted by NLnet and they convinced me that they never denied such an extension (or new grant) proposal.
So...that's probably double sad...this seems to have been a most classical communication problem (seen Black Mirror S07E05?).
Edit: Also, the "Boo!" was primarily directed at the possibility of the EU retracting funding, NLnet is doing very important work, and amazingly so.
Anyway, Timothy is now writing another bootstrappable lisp implementation: Germ. It's still pretty early days but it's looking great. So happy with this!
Want a startup without VC stress? The missing middle path lets you keep control and profits. Sweet spot for indie founders. #startups #entrepreneurship #bootstrapping https://mattgiustwilliamson.substack.com/p/your-startup-doesnt-need-to-be-a

But if all (most) CPUs are FGPAs, how does one bootstrap and assume the payload is not malicious?
Programmers using discrete electronics and punched tape would be a human-auditable (if tedious) way of bootstrapping.
A minimum viable target & programs for it to bootstrap everything else would be needed.
I consider this analogous to the #Guix bootstrap seed endeavor.

Well this is a neat website. Interesting details about Aesop & Pascal that I hadn't been quite aware of.

I also found this other suggestion for Ada which is interesting? It would probably be quite the task to verify that output & document it properly, but it should also just work.

New video!
I don't think AI will replace web developers in app development.
What do you think?
The first episode of The Panel is out!

Listen here, and let us know what you think!
A thorough series of blog posts on getting GCC bootstrapped in RISC-V. Amazing work by @ekaitz_zarraga, @pjotrprins, @efraim et.al This brings Guix closer to RISC-V architecture!

Today´s Building Nearshore Open Office Hours will start at the top of the hour. Today, we´ll be speaking with our friend Nick Mullen from Sanguine Security. Time permitting, we will also demonstrate how we´re using AI and less fancy forms of automation to convert leads to deals. Bruce has been up to some wizard stuff!
