Whenever you see someone calling someone out, pay attention to their respect and consideration for the victims. Always. It's the difference between someone who's looking for a reason to paint someone as a monster and someone who's genuinely concerned about the safety of others.

I built something like that for a client earlier this year based on their requirements. Now, I'm building it with the developer experience I want. Two tasks before I can share a link: • Deploy to prod • Allow developers to run local nodes and use the hosted web UI brb 😅

I deactivated my Instagram on January 1st. I was surprised at how little temptation there was for me to ever go back. The only reason it's deactivated still instead of deleted entirely is I have long been planning to plug @grain.social once when private data arrives and then just nuke the account.

I got into tech six years ago because I figured I could have an outsized impact on making a less harmful, more empowering world for workers and marginalised people. Only this year, I started connecting IRL with people who think this way. Here I tried to write about the ways that's transformed me.

Amazing story about a ✌️genius✌️ developer who nearly destroyed a 2 year project, eventually got fired, then replaced by a team that shipped in 6m with a fraction of the code. Horrible! But to me, the real villain isn't "Rick", it's the managers who created a monster 🧶

Working on a new Bluesky starter pack discovery interface inside Micro.blog. It’s not comprehensive, but I think I will launch it soon as an experiment. Then later, need to figure out how to integrate it with blogrolls and (maybe) Mastodon collections.
Screenshot displays various starter packs on Bluesky, featuring collections of NBA playoff posters, artists with art books, comedy writers and satirists, ESPN people, Oscars, and preferred writers.

again i don’t quite understand this because mathematics is fundamental. the platonic voice in me says let’s see the undiscovered country! no one is poorer for having skipped a few thousand years of manual effort. if there are infinite fundamentals let’s see a whole multiverse of math. why not?

No, I will not take part in the protocol wars on Hacker News with people who don't want to learn anything new. X is still popular, Threads is still growing, and bad actors are trying to co-opt protocols. There's bigger fish to fry. This is how it always ends anyway:

It's always fascinating to me that proponents of Activity Pub are always like, "Just use AP, it's better." Isn't the point of decentralization to have no single point of failure? Why doesn't that mean multiple protocols? Everyone who argues that point honestly just sounds salty to me.
