need product differentiation?

overhire a #CSS front-end team and ask them to:
- polish whatever
- add delight wherever

and watch as your product becomes smooth and buttery while everyone else's gather dust and crust

UI is a huge space offering differentiation via quality

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

As a non-tech person, when I first read this I thought it meant the company giving me time to create miniature figurines of the insects I find at the office, like cockroaches and such. I was like “weird take but I can support this” 😆

just flagging that this is a UI mockup and the list of features doesn’t necessarily match what will be released. we need to get better at avoiding setting expectations via mockups since it’s open source so people poke at every branch

added some more buttons 😭
and open sourced it if you want to hack around

repo: github.com/sadn1ck/free... (v dirty 🙅‍♂️)

One reason bluesky feels different is that folks who were lurkers are now participating here (and not because they were baited to reply in anger). Doubling down, if you'd like to chat and meet new people, play your favorite Taylor Swift song, and jump into these threads to ignite some conversations.

I'm collecting migration stories for a blog post. Would you reply with your thoughts? Why are you here? Do you feel bluesky could one day replace X? Or what do you enjoy, is missing, or you would prefer to change? And if you've posted about this before or read a good one, would you link to it? 🙏

I created a Bluesky Starter Pack! 🎉

It includes ~75 wonderful people in the web dev community who are doing inspiring work. I know I’ve missed some folks; I plan on adding to it over time.

Starter packs are such a great idea. Immediately makes Bluesky feel less lonely for newcomers. 😄
