Can we formalize this survey somehow? I feel deeply seen.

I've started learning more about ATProto apps and how I'm going to migrate @everyoneplaysthesamesong.com. Here are a bunch of unordered thoughts about it. A thread.

It's cool that we can listen to Strobe by Deamau5 whenever we want

This is an important pattern. Each one of the apps that’s also a PDS serves as a front door to the Atmosphere. People just need to find one community they resonate with, and boom, they’re here.

So I'm learning ATProto development in public, and there's a friction between publicly asking questions vs. asking AI. I don't want to bother people, but when I'm talking to Claude, I'm not making a public artifact.

I'm realizing migrating my existing @everyoneplaysthesamesong.com project will have the challenge of user migration. Basically, I'll need to permanently keep the read only data from past rounds in a private database, unless each user logs into their Atmosphere accounts and claims the legacy records.

Regional PDSs to serve federations of local businesses

I’m going to have to reevaluate some of my work habits after this one. Still a lot to unpack.

plyr.fm/track/924?re... and now, with an og-image that isn't my face.

Whoa, okay, cool. I uploaded plyr.fm/track/924?re... from my local vibe coded ATProto oauth site, using atcute. This means for @everyoneplaysthesamesong.com, my users can submit their songs directly to @plyr.fm. I'll need to create a new lexicon to associate those round submission with the audio.

Hello from my vibe coded ATProto educational sandbox.

There was so much variety of pizza at the @seattle.atprotocol.community meetup, and I think it was a metaphor for our choice of tools and apps in the Atmosphere. A tasty, tasty metaphor.

Sending this from inside https://atmoxp.nrempel.com/. This is the best. My only request is - can we add the ability to play Minesweeper?

Now that I'm trying to build in the Atmosphere, I'm realizing there is a lot of specific stuff I don't fully understand. I'll be documenting what I learn.

Feature idea for @pckt.blog @leaflet.pub @offprint.app - persisted in line comments for technical doc review. Maybe with a deeper @margin.at integration - wherein a margin record associated with my post is represented somewhere.

I love the For You feed, but I wonder if there's a way to implicitly or explicitly keep certain categories of things on deck. Like, a sports team about whom there's little news for months until suddenly there's a lot of news. Based on my lack of recent engagement with the team, I don't see the news

@aka.dad heads up, just had a catastrophic failure trying to publish everyone-plays-the-same-song.offprint.app/a/3mkbuih2ug... on @offprint.app . I was able to save it because I'd copied it all recently. Repro steps in reply -

Science is so cool. You can just be like "hey, I wonder how bees think" and answering that question can be a huge part of your career, and can unlock learnings that help the entire world. We need more science.

A while ago I saw a project on here that was a write-once-post-everywhere sort of thing. From IG to X to Bluesky. I think this is how we get small businesses on the network. We make it easier for them to engage with social media, with the Atmosphere as a side effect.

Stayaway asks “what if ‘If You Give A A Mouse A Cookie” were about avoiding your ex?

I hope MUNA doesn’t come on at the bar, because then I’d have to derail the conversation to explain why Katie Gavin should be considered one of the living Greats when it comes to songwriting, with examples, and no one wants that right now.

I think we should becomes members of absolutely every local thing - the zoo, the aquarium, the art museum, everything. Because then we can go whenever we want, but also we're funding the things that make our area great.

Coworker - "I'm tearing out some of your build in my PR." Me - "Hmm, I don't know what you're referring to." Coworker - "You added it 13 months ago" Me - "Kill it with fire."

Bluesky likes, comments and reposts associated with an @offprint.app post showing up on the post itself == good feature

I feel like people don’t talk enough about how the greater NYC accent has like 8 more vowels than the rest of the country

At tonight's meeting at the @seattle.atprotocol.community I expressed my plan to move @everyoneplaysthesamesong.com to the ATProto. Here's. my initial post on what, why and a general outline of how. everyone-plays-the-same-song.offprint.app/a/3mk7ojxl6b...

Do you use AI to write code, or are you an acoustic developer?

We need an @npmx.dev for lexicons. Is that a thing yet?

I need to jump back into the Python world. I run technical interviews and every Python candidate is used TYPED Python by default, and it's beautiful.

If you're interested, DM me. I'll send you a referral code.

It's true

It’s easy to get caught up in creative problem solving when you can instead just do what works

Any musicians out there interested in this next round of @everyoneplaysthesamesong.com ? Signups for round 30 close May 1st. It's a community project where we each sign up with a song we want cover, everyone votes, and the most popular song is the song everyone covers.

everyoneplaysthesamesong.com/share/song/289 I covered Right Back To It by Waxahatchee, and I’m pretty stoked about how it came out

I did a technical screen recently where I gave my best effort at answering something I wasn’t sure about, after which I asked for the expected answer. The interviewer responded “I’ve gotten enough signal from this question. We can move on.” Fuck me for trying to become a better engineer, i guess?

Bike commuting is the best

I’ve been playing around with the new openai image model on arena.ai and you guys. This should be illegal. This is step change better than anything I’ve played around with before.

Every time I see something written that includes the phrase “that’s not X, it’s Y” I 100% believe it’s AI generated.

Inside hikes are the best, cuz they make the most random stuff funny even when the sharer of the joke isn’t around

Sometimes people are dicks. I used to take it hella personally. I’ve since learned that if you assume they’re joking around and play along, they’ll often prove you right.

Why did the doctor where so much makeup? Becausemedics

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

Has a coach arguing with the ref every gotten a call changed? Or is it all theatrics?

My favorite basketball play is the Allison Oop

Doctor, it's m'goats. They're totes.

When it comes to AI generated code, language is important. Did I give an LLM a hyperspecific instruction and properly reviewed the results? "I wrote this code." Did I pass the JIRA ticket body to the LLM with zero idea of the expected outcome? "I got this from the Slop Machine."

How strange it is to be anything at all

people keep telling me i don't need to monetize all my hobbies, but if i could monetize a couple that would be nice
