Claude Code gets a lot of hate but it's memory system is really incredible in a large multi repo / cluttered enterprise system setup

Not sure if any atproto devs care about the Fediverse but there's often quite a few atproto platform chats over there If I was a dev I would keep an eye on these as a space to chat about the platforms, goals, protocol, etc when it pops up Ex of the Colibri thread coves.social/c/fediverse@...
coves.social
Colibri chat system (Discord-like thing based on ATProto)
Still a bit alpha, but looks promising. Several features seem to be waiting for atproto implementation.

People making Minecraft in Skyrim and Mario in Elden Ring type mods via AI might actually be what wins a huge chunk of antis + younger gen over. Slowly but surely LLMs will touch everyone's digital hobby in a way that they go wow that's cool, and force introspection when they discover it's LLMs

Seeing all the appetite lately for a "Reddit on atproto" has me really hyped for Coves and a world where the broader Threadiverse can finally thrive

The quicker people realize most SAAS tech jobs effectively contribute nothing to society, the quicker we can restructure jobs and the global economy to impact society. Very slim opportunity granted to us via AI, to actually drive a purpose individually today.

One of my most underrated uni classes was a required capstone history of science & engineering class. Going into it, I definitely had a "Why am I here attitude" only to end up with it as one of my favorite classes.

Goated atproto idea if anyone wants to yoink it: Stickers Each user can create custom sticker packs that anyone can use, each platform can choose to incorporate users packs into their platform in their composers. Effectively global atproto telegram / tiktok stickers

Hot take: pushing VC money into atproto or any federated network shows a core misunderstanding of federated networks There's an inherent unprofitability to interoperability (a good thing). We can only do what we can for long-term sustainability in our current economic system ...

I just had a session where I couldn't believe how bad Fable was doing, it was making me question my entire experience with Fable as a model --> Check /model it's Opus 5. Classic.

The Opus vs. Sol discussion has kept coming back to me. I seem to continuously hit issues Opus nails and Sol struggles with or vice versa. Opus seems much stronger at data modeling, while Sol is much better at security scanning / work. Opus however stays miserable to use.

Possibly the first Threadiverse <> atproto federation?? 👀 votes in Coves are now successfully propagating to federated activitypub communities (and blocked from refederating back to Coves) Two way federation fully working!

This is great for LLMs, but the example surprises me. Every modern Data & Analytics team is rocking dbt which already houses join / column + table metadata. This will just lead to duplicate maintainence and drift / source of truth problems. cloud.google.com/blog/product...

While speaking on Coves updates, I actually implemented Cloudfare Turnstile in front of the PDS + Appview signups. It was surprisingly simple + no payments for captcha. This allows us to enable signups but still prevent automated PDS signups via spam bot attacks.

With the announcement of Bluesky communities and in case anyone in the atproto dev community missed it, Coves is functioning today if anyone wants to poke around the app. Follow @coves.team for more updates! Signups are coming soon 👀

Interesting to see how this pans out! Also interested to see how easily I can throw existing Coves communities on the protocol beyond how they're already configured Regardless it'll be nice to offer others atproto community access through the Coves mobile app + frontend regardless of the source

At enterprise organizations consumer features are entirely gated by multilayer corporate beauracratic systems. It's never been a better time to be in a small flat org who can out produce simply because it's not limited by the beauracracy.

💯💯 I've always said human extinction is not really the issue, it's the ocean and insect ecosystem collapse we're causing. We aren't at extinction risk, we are the extinction event for everything else.
