One thing I've internalised in my career: there's basically no correlation between "code that is well-written" and "code that makes money"

I once inherited a python system that handled about $100m in ARR. It was a single Django class that was 25k lines long and had zero tests or docs that always called out to MySQL and postgres via fork+exec rather than actually using those client libraries

mussels in pumpkin dhal didn’t get a picture but holy shit that was one of the best fall dishes i’ve ever had

you know what's cool about the big email guys? they'll just shut you out, no explanation. follow the rules to the t, as much as you can, get blocked. sorry.

so there's no way to get "clean" app names + logos on OAuth forms without pds operators (read: the pbc) accepting me in `PDS_OAUTH_TRUSTED_CLIENTS`?

I didn't think we'd be in the "dozens of copies" territory without even a release on a lot of platforms. Thank youuuuu. Cozysters is a long way from being super successful or anything, but there was SO much initial interest and positive feedback, and that means a lot.

Imagining a shared inbox for your community via Spaces and @comail.at

we have an idea for communities in the app that we're calling "spaces" — places where people can gather around shared interests or social groups. here's a peek at some early prototypes. these are explorations, not polished or final. looking for feedback, esp from community builders 👀

Today is ICANN Reveal Day! 1,615 strings: .agent, .api, .agi, .ask, .auth, .bad, .bro, ... 481 applicants: Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloudflare, Vercel, Squarespace, Airbnb, ... Gonna thread observations until I run out of steam

Lost some of the data because my watch died, but overall I think it was ~21 miles with ~4900ft gain and ~6000ft descent. The switchbacks at the end were brutal

what do yall think are the most impactful things we could do in the Bluesky app to support atproto builders?

has anyone been able to use dots on their phone? I’m getting notifs for the main convo but opening one does not take me to the thread with my dot

it’s like the worst form of notification possible: there’s literally no action I can take besides “huh yeah keep going” in my head
