Interesting to ask friends and colleagues how they are using AI in their jobs. And the handful of people who genuinely use lots of tools beyond making listicles… you know summarising documents. Which to be fair is very handy.

Gee, it’s interesting to see who’s on your starter packs. And to see who is following people I think (will be) worth following. For example @timburrowes.bsky.social has baggsed his name as a handle. No posts, only following @bsky.app. He’s a journo so you’d expect a wide and good following.

Now, look, I’m not casting shade at anyone, but if you have anything to do with tech and you’re joining BlueSky - or you’re a brand - then for goodness sake, use your domain as a nickname. Apart from anything else, it verifies your profile as definitely yours. It’s free!
