Bluesky, unlike X, doesn’t punish posts with links. Which means there is no good reason (and frankly no good excuse) for posts with screengrabs of articles that don’t link to them.
It’s bad for readers and bad for the writers whose work you’re using. Posting text? Link to where you got it.

@simonwillison.net I was just reading your post on "The Perfect Commit" and it matches closely with "The Definition of Done" I have used on previous projects. Have you been able to distill this into a ".cursorrules" format that ensures the LLMs also code this way?

So happy that Michael Tsai documented how to remove the Google login overlay on websites that I’m browsing. It always gets in the way of the content and I waste time dismissing it daily.
