Hey Senior+ engineers ... it's your job, now more than ever, to review the merits of design and product decisions based on the complexity they add to the system. Now that code is nearly free, everyone is going to be asking you to add 100 knobs to the code for their specific use case. Don't do it.

This sector is changing. A lot. There are market and industry forces at play and it's changing the game. I think the next year is going to have a lot of turns.

Going to host a Tech Talk again! I asked @trezy.codes to talk about HappyView @happyview.dev happyview.dev With the release of v2, it's an all-in-one appview - single binary, OAuth, built in backfill & indexing. Discord devchat stage for live questions + streamplace stream, May 28th, 5pm UTC

Based on my proposal from a couple weeks ago, I submitted a PR to the community lexicon repo for bookmark permission sets: github.com/lexicon-comm... There are machine translations for the top 5 languages on Bluesky in here, would love if anyone could help verify that they read correctly!

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/iame.li Turns out we got all of the LEXICONS EXACTLY BACKWARDS #coding

🎉 The first RC of @iroh.computer 1.0 is here, we made it! Yes it is real, after more than 50 releases, it is time for [email protected] Thank you everyone for making this a reality! www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-1-...

📥 Event processing has resumed after it was paused due to a disk issue on one of the lexicon-garden servers.

AI settings are now available in @mackinac.social and the @atexplore.social MCP has been updated to respect these settings. This is built to on the @lexicon.community Lexicon so it will work with any app that respects those settings.

⚠️ Don't use this. This is the first alpha release meant as a technical concept of a plan. Cut and pushed 0.15.0-alpha.1 of the atproto crates which includes atproto-pds, an experimental PDS implementation that supports permissioned data spaces. tangled.org/ngerakines.m...

I get a kick out of it when coding agents use perl. Of all of the languages and tools out there, perl.

Have you installed and used this app? Please consider leaving it a review. Feedback is taken seriously and if there are ways where the user experience and functionality can be improved, we really want to know.

That's not good.

👋 Oh hey, release 1.2.4 is out for macOS and iOS! It includes some requested features and changes, like being able to set the thresholds of "due after" and "overdue after" per profile. Check it out on the Apple App Store and leave a review!

new data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)

14k and rising 🚀

will be adding this to Witchsky under account settings later

Single Origin Coffee Stout by Masthead is so consistently good. For the NA option, Organic Banana Water by Woodstock (10/10 highly recommend). Cheers @danimarie419.bsky.social #ShowerBeer #ShowerBeverage

Our MCP will now respect these settings. If inference is off, it shouldn’t access your data.

Tempted to start using this - pkl-lang.org

🎉🎉🎉

It's not quite there yet, but I'm pretty close to having my PDS implementation ready with initial permission data space support as part of the atproto-crates repository.

Excited to announce that I will be giving the opening keynote for @newpublic.org + @publicspaces.net Open Social Award Show in Amsterdam next month! My keynote will discuss how we do community governance at @blackskyweb.xyz Best of luck to all applicants and hope to see you there!

I’m on CalTrain for the first time. Someone is drinking a beer and a child just boarded while playing an accordion. Can someone confirm this is a typical CalTrain experience?

ooh nice my talk got posted! this is a 30 min whirlwind introduction to atproto through a technical lens, basically building up the stack from DIDs -> repos -> PDSes -> relays -> lexicons -> OAuth -> applications

It’s true, likes don’t pay bills. Although technically a like is zero calories, they offer no nutrients value either.

Hey y'all, I'm looking for some work to bridge the gap while I continue working on @cartridge.dev and @happyview.dev. If you have contract work for #atproto projects (planning, code, architecture), I'd be delighted to help. DM me with details. #atproto #OpenToWork #LookingForWork

Thanks @ngerakines.me for the review of @pixeline.be’s community app listing lexicon Other comments welcome github.com/lexicon-comm...

Today we swapped out Sifa's custom location type for @lexicon.community's community.lexicon.location.address, the shape @smokesignal.events and others already use We use this for both account locations, and locations for career and education items (all optional of course). #interop

It's official: Louisiana's Republican governor just suspended state congressional elections so lawmakers can pass a new gerrymandered map first.

Against the backdrop of an energy crisis and a warming planet, more than 50 countries have come to Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss concrete ways to phase out oil, gas, and coal.

📣 Happy to announce that the macOS app has been approved for the Apple App Store!

Oh shit

Many thanks to @thisismissem.social, @bad-example.com, and @not.germ.ceo for the significant infrastructure work that went into improving logins in this release! Thrilled to join the apps transitioning off atproto transitional scopes as we mature the login experience for atproto apps.

I don't think tech at large understands how hard it is to be an open source maintainer right now. So many great folks are on the brink of burnout. Funding is drying out. We live in a security minefield. Companies think humans are disposable. If you're a maintainer, we care. You deserve the world.

If you're leaving GitHub, we'd be very happy to chat! We work remotely, pay top-end of European salaries and are hell bent on building the best code forge ever. We're hiring for one intermediate/senior role right now: jobs.tangled.org/software-eng.... Go, Firecracker, distributed systems.

Dear #LazyWeb, I'm almost finished with my #Android port of @ohcraphey.app, but to publish it on the store, I need an Android device. Any recommendations on a modern Android device that isn't terribly expensive and runs the latest OS? This on't be my daily driver.
