Having been a prolific open-source developer in Bitcoin for nearly 10 years, time to time, I get asked my opinion on news about Bitcoin and Lightning Network.
It may surprise you, but most of the time you know more than I do, and you know more than what you think.
My priority is BTCPay Server, and I have a very narrow (myopic shall I say) focus on what I do every day. My focus is even too intense to keep track of all the developement happening on BTCPay Server alone. (When in doubt, ask @pavlenex)
My focus is more akin to a code gardener, where I focus on removing weeds, and making sure the ground is fertile so people can grow their fruits on the BTCPay Server garden.
