Like all social media, Bluesky is a combination heat sink and agitation chamber. It takes human impulses to do something and turns them into impotent whining and doomscrolling. It's bad for us. I'm leaving.

Whatever devs are seeing in their immediate environment that turns them into believers in LLM-coding is objectively not being carried forward into the products and services as experienced by actual end users.

Big tech has gutted ad revenue and monopolized distribution, billionaires have exerted a corrosive control over the platforms, and both squeezed the industry away. We have to organize. We have to get systematic, and think and act collectively.

Absolutely gutting to see what's happened at the Post. These are some of the best working journalists out there. The best. The layoffs have nothing to do with the quality of the work. These are political decisions about what and what not to cover made by a billionaire.
