Got to say I am loving Bluesky. A simple, clean interface and feels like Twitter used to feel at its best. Of course, they have yet to monetise it, but for now, I can see myself using it a lot.
honestly sometimes having something implemented in a competing client is the best motivation to clean up tech debt that’s stopping from adding it to the official one
i guess i've spent enough of my life being paid to be on call and it was okay but I've had enough of that, I really try to keep the number of servers in my life that could unexpectedly break and interrupt my day pretty low
My house is such an echo chamber. Every single person here loves and respects each other. Thinking about bringing in a couple of abusive asshole roommates just for a more balanced perspective.
I was a very early user here in 2023. I left because I saw so many trying to recreate the same "followers as currency" model from the other platforms by doing the thought leader-y thing that makes LinkedIn so tedious for me.
I'm liberally muting this time to avoid it. I just want real, human chat.
I bet you could use Bluesky or mastodon as the backend for comments… commenting on a story posts it to your timeline, and posts + replies mentioning a story are shown alongside it
Hmm…
I really don't mind if a conference talk is about the product they work on.
But I want it to be about challenges overcoming in making the product by an engineer who works on it instead of a sales pitch by a devrel.
Keep that in mind when submitting to #EpicWebConf 🚀
if you have a @github.com profile, can i ask you to update it with your @bsky.app handle? 🙏
👉 it enables some very cool integrations, like auto curated feeds and starter packs for contributors and tech
a few replies saying “the real problem is that blogs died“, I always forget that blogs died because I read a lot of tech blogs where RSS is still alive and well, and personally I STARTED blogging seriously in 2013, right after google reader died
I think this is a tech thing though.
Too much I could say about this very excellent piece from Erin, but I will start with noting that one way to shape the future of the web is to pay closer attention to the stories we use to talk about it: https://www.wrecka.ge/against-the-dark-forest/
If you're not accessing the internet through a personal Doob server with a secure DTF terminal that's piped through SkunkBox and JugularPunch, then quite frankly you're doing it wrong and you should feel bad about yourself
A bit late to the BlueSky bandwagon, but I will start to post here from now on. Got to say I am impressed by the 90 people who are already following me even before I have posted anything 😛
That’s basically how I was taught it. It’s the empty product. Multiplying no things gets you the multiplicative identity, same as summing no things = additive identity.
✨ Exactly a year ago, I redesigned Clerk Components: Core 2 and introduced a trendy UI pattern that I’m incredibly proud of.
This pattern shaped the product and became a core part of its identity.
It was my first big project after joining Clerk, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

this is one of my favorite custom feeds, Quiet Posters
it shows you posts from people you follow who don't post that much! so it surfaces friends' posts that might otherwise get drowned out in the Following feed (which is reverse chronological) 🤗
