still fully of the belief that the "bubble pop" will simply be openai collapsing and getting purchased by microsoft. this company absolutely can NOT find pmf and is only just now trying to pivot to business because they are terrified of anthropic lol

as i’ve said before, you can call yourself the safety-focused lab with ease whenever the other labs you are competing against have negative points in the “cares about safety” column. i’ve always read this as “safer than the competition” not “safety over everything else”

TIL about aerosinusitis. absolutely by far the most painful “headache” i’ve ever experienced, didn’t know if i was going to make it during that descent lol

getting into this agentic shit. might spin up a WhiteClaw instance tonight

i did not put floss into my bag, however I did add picks. i appreciate everyone here for reminding me because by the time i got back to a place where i could acquire picks it was already midnight and i absolutely forgot until viewing my notifications.

everyone please yell at me around 10 PT this evening telling me that I need to put floss or picks in my bag. thank you for your attention to this matter.

i always say i should start carrying floss with me everywhere then dont start carrying floss with me everywhere

wake up babe time to do a slay the spire run before work

huge congratulations to jay for everything she built here over the past few years. was an amazing ride to be a part of and i’m super excited to see where things continue from here not just for bluesky but for her as well!!

do other people put cholula hot sauce on their annie’s mac and cheese?

i often realize the amount of brain worms ive been exposed to on the internet is much higher than most people i know. im not sure how i feel about this.

Hi! I'm the new Head of Communications @bsky.app. I've been watching the open social web evolve over the past couple of years. Bluesky represents what I believe the future of the internet should look like: built on principles that put people first.

discord clicker notification sound would be a wild nitro feature

made the mistake of reading the replies to the bsky account congratulating tangled on the raise lol

today, we're announcing our €3,8M ($4.5M) seed financing round, led by byFounders with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Antler, Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub), Avery Pennarun (CEO of Tailscale) among other incredible angels. read more on what's next: blog.tangled.org/seed

burning my mouth on pizza: that was stupid, won’t ever make that mistake again me again 2 weeks later burning my mouth on pizza: that was stupid, won’t ever make that mistake again

Open sourcing Osprey was an adventure! @discord.com is now powered by the open source community version of Osprey. Read about how Osprey works and what makes a rules engine for fighting abuse powerful: discord.com/blog/osprey-...

wait so where is erlang on this chart?

every time i read the comments section on a reddit thread, it makes me wonder how i ever used that website...

why the hell does my cat just lick the headboard of my bed non stop?!???

cat spent the hours of 5-7 AM pulling my hair non stop, and then as soon as i finally gave up and woke up he went to sleep. okay.

fascinating to see that a large portion of the reaction to the openai news yesterday isn't "weird that it didnt get reported" but rather "its bad openai can read your messages", "well im never using a chatbot again", and my favorite "i understand needing to provide safety but this is a step too far"

me: "maybe ill stay home for work today" cats: hahaha yes. sickos yes. time to annoy the shit out of you for the first four hours of your day

also tmux @why.bsky.team

they got me using nix, sigh

I did what I said I couldn’t do for over 6 years in 3 days. Half a week of Opus 4.6 session tokens, 303+ JavaScript Files, 42,000 lines of code, 11+ breaking NPM version changes, fifteen editor plugin rewrites. I finally modernized and fixed my solo SaaS product, Reading Supply.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

split into 3 payments of 30k via shop by shopify and you can have a similar model (the model?) displayed at the spring festival. get them while they last. what a time to be alive

they should invent an "ubuntu-latest" github actions runner that isn't from 2 years ago

claude: now go to sleep. me: what? it’s 9 am lol claude: no, this is it. i’m done talking about this. go to bed.

this but with waffles. this is what the waffle iron was made for.

this is probably the coolest thing ive seen on this site in a while, imo because its the culmination of multiple parts of the app working together to make this possible also i use this app way too much lol

my urgent care place texting me happy valentines and offering a discounted STI check is real fucking weird man

we live in this weird trifecta: - at no time before has it been easier to research and validate a claim, rumor, etc - at no time before has it been easier to spin up a fake claim, rumor, etc (and people know this) - most people still believe the fake claim or rumor without attempting to validate

they literally cannot delete my google workspace account at bluesky because of this calendar item. they're afraid if they lose the item we'll never end up shipping ipad support at all...

i’m sorry but if your restaurant serves ice cream but doesn’t serve vanilla ice cream then i do not like you

notification: u have been perceived. there is no undo button

its interesting (derogatory) that every time amanda askell gets talked about on this website the thinly veiled misogyny comes out in force

the zendesk spam has gotta stop because atp stuff i actually want is going to spam lol

ooooo opening images on web is sooooooo smooth now good stuff @samuel.fm (i assume this was u because ur the smooth transition guru)

In 2025, PL portfolio company @bsky.app grew from 25M to 40M+ users and shipped major progress on verification and decentralization, with 270K+ users self-verifying and 2,000+ community-run servers live - moving core infrastructure forward at scale.

when prompted with topics that are around distress, anxiety, or frustration that claude (seemingly) determines to be incorrect (eg self doubt), you get either: "now go to sleep" or variations of "no you're fucking not!"

an interesting thing is that you can get claude to say "fucking" without a single curse word ever having been in the chat session at all

On bsky they don’t say TPOT, they say “Tech-Forward Early Adopters,” and I think that’s beautiful
