Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 40mEnough to stop hiring junior and mid level developers if tech debt can be wrangled in a senior developer's 20% time 020
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 13hIt's not to say that "it doesn't matter" but it's worth noting that the more people you're connected to on those networks; the greater the chance of *your data* being mishandled (or even dragged into things you might not consent to). 0183
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 13hWhat sucks about Meta's properties is that even if you choose to opt out of using something; the fact that you're connected to someone who does opt-in, you're part of their dragnet now. 2377

Reposted by Jacky Alciné𝕮 @chrisshank.com · 18hYes, my take is that Bluesky PBC isn't a social media company, they're a dev infrastructure company that happens to be dogfooding their infra by building a clone of twitter. The priority is to make money by selling infra that will power the social internet, not from the bluesky app becoming big. 19211

Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 22hI make a job at the end of this thread but it's a good thread from Jason on why focus helps you ship quality features versus chasing the smell of cheese 172
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 22hI think - unless another app gets like 1/10th the userbase of bluesky - I find it hard that folks would be "feeding back" into bluesky that isn't organic 010
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 22hLike does Bluesky have to do work to make sure things like pckt or offprint grow? 380
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 22hIs it Bluesky (PBLLC)'s responsibility to make sure that other apps in the Atmosphere gain user traffic? 6240

Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 02/10/2026I am keeping this thread alive because I talked about the stress of finding work and I think it’s only fair to talk about whatever’s the status with it as it goes along. The one I’m waiting for an offer notice from is the same one I made this candle ritual for: hopeful but it took nearly a month! 2481

Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 30/09/2026I don't think I understand enough about how model training (and decompilation? over a remote location) works but every time I hear the word "distillation"; it's usually Anthropic saying that China is reverse engineering their models. Is there real material/examples of this work? 110
