Gonna follow in @mubashariqbal.com's steps and create a thread with all the work I will be doing for atproto-moviedb. It will essentially be imdb/tmdb but on atproto.
Was thinking of calling it skymdb, any thoughts?

overengineering really is a thing, and it didn't make sense until i tried to implement CQRS into a simple application I was working on.
the pr to remove that implementation made me feel like i could finally rest.

i’ve been wanting to play around with zig for a while, and a coworker wanted to learn rust.
we decided to each build a tower defense in our lang of choice, and to keep each other accountable.
absolutely love it when this stuff happens!
i’ll also post updates here!

Tangled is essentially yet another get forge but uses at Proto as the social layer of social coding. Knots are the actual stores of code which communicate and you can host your own while still communicating with the rest of the network. @oppi.li did I miss anything?

Good software engineers don't need feedback.
This was one of the big things I had to unlearn early in my management career.
Prior to Microsoft, I worked at a small company -- roughly 8 people when I started.

what's your flow for reviewing PRs?
i started off by going to "files changed", then reviewing them in the order that made sense.
now, i go commit by commit. and i much prefer this approach.

@kommentar.dev is a fun side project that I spend a good 4-6 hours per week on. maybe it's worth hosting it's repos primarily on @tangled.sh
it will likely help me get more comfortable with their ux too! not saying it's bad, just feels different.

the gamble is that you won't ever have to learn or understand what you're doing — so you don't need to start now. each day you don't learn stuff you have to double down on that bet because you're losing time. and peer pressure reinforces it

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"
