just a reminder. bluesky getting bigger actually makes it EASIER to gain a following even from 0. not harder. if you wanted to get 10 new followers is it going to be easier to appeal to 10/10 people or 10/1000000 people? the math ain’t that hard to comprehend.

As I was cleaning up my blog I made articles from my presentations. This one was a doozy. What I have dubbed the mythical unicorn 😂. #software #development #engineering
codemelted.com
Chasing the Mythical Unicorn
In every software engineering career you will encounter a job that leaves a lasting impression because things went well or you had good teammates. You will also encounter jobs where nothing goes right, the manager is a pain, and nobody on the team pulls their wait. Then there is the mythical unicorn. A beast that does not exist in software engineering but I got to experience one time. Where the project was delivered ahead of time, hit all quality metrics established by the contract, and under budget. You never get all three. You typically on a good project will get two out of the three. The presentation below is a presentation I gave at one of my jobs documenting this unicorn and the things I believed were the reason for this encounter. Enjoy.

I can only speak for myself. But. Bluesky isn't perfect, but it's a BILLION times better than Twitter and improving each day. Twitter is full of bots, engagement-bait farms, and I can't in good conscience support the douche canoe that owns it. No, I will NEVER go back. I'm here for the long haul.

So I have been playing around in FireFox. Loving it and it may become my go-to browser. That said, in testing my site I found it is broken on Safari and FireFox. Lesson Learned, don't just test on Chromium based browser.
