Joshua Puchlik @puchlik.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I have no love for Twitter, but one thing that Bluesky is vastly inferior on is the discovery feed algorithm. Pre-musk twitter, the algo knew I liked politics news and regularly exposed me to new accounts to follow. This week Bluesky’s Discover thinks I like the /concept/ of food. 131

Joshua Puchlik @puchlik.bsky.social · 16/07/2026For those unaware, this gets you the single most efficient air filter design possible. Duct Tape isn’t the best at keeping things airtight though, so I’d choose something made for a tight seal if you can. You probably want a cheaper fan for this because you’re putting extra strain on it. 011
Joshua Puchlik @puchlik.bsky.social · 05/02/2026My going general theory (doesn’t feel like it’s true where I work now) is that remaining workers are valued specifically on - role flexibility - ease of exploitation - energy reserves Good employees who were already nearing burnout often go because they’re assumed to be used up.

Joshua Puchlik @puchlik.bsky.social · 15/10/2025I have this rapidly solidifying suspicion that part of the reason we’re seeing an uptick of conservatism from people under 25 is that, in addition to…everything else going on, they got a lot more childhood lead than people now in their 30s did. 020
