Emil B @lefelys.com · 26/07/2026I guess that’s it, the “new js framework every week” era is over. No new ideas, no QoL improvements. We are just stuck with what we have forever 100

Emil B @lefelys.com · 23/05/2026Looking at number of users of non-bluesky PDSes got me thinking - there has to be more to offer to make users consider them Email service could be a nice addition - custom subdomain with wildcard addresses like *@username.eurosky.social. Add custom TLDs support and now it is super useful 020

Emil B @lefelys.com · 21/04/2026Why do code forge platforms like @github.com and @tangled.org keep treating the files list and commit history as the primary repository view? On popular repos the majority of visitors scroll straight to the README And having customizable "work mode" and "view mode" layouts would make it even better 000
Emil B @lefelys.com · 15/04/2026There’s always visible degradation in services/products when a provider decides to become “everything.” Retailers pushing their own branded products, apps closing integrations and rebuilding third-party features themselves (Claude, X). Streaming platforms producing their own content (Netflix) 252
Emil B @lefelys.com · 05/04/2026Hot take on LLMs: they exist largely because humanity has failed at systems engineering. We keep producing half-baked standards with too much room for interpretation. Then we ship new fixed versions with backward compatibility. Then another standard appears And the cycle repeats over and over 100
Reposted by Emil Blogue.is @logue.is · 29/03/2026"Readers are burning out" Great talk from @aendra.com on #AtmosphereConf, but algorithms and feeds are't the answer to everything You shouldn't rely on algorithm to deliver news on topics that are important for you. The whole idea of news delivery must be reshaped into targeted, focused streams 141

Emil B @lefelys.com · 16/02/2026Love the tech behind bluesky and atproto. The overall decentralized design clicks fast and makes so much sense, I think because it lines up well with scaling approaches you deal with in everyday backend jobs 142
Emil B @lefelys.com · 13/02/2026The harnessing and infra they have built for this to work - this is the real future product. Today's Agents.mds, Skills, MCPs, etc. - are small building blocks that somebody should organize and pack in a complete, opinionated, modular mega-full-stack blueprint 020

Emil B @lefelys.com · 09/02/2026My brain is resisting to focus on texts that are obviously AI-generated. Even at work, a simple "good job!" expanded to "I’m genuinely enthusiastic about this step, especially because it’s deeply rooted in a results-oriented, revenue-focused mission".... come on man, I'm not reading this shit 130
