This is why I think managers are often better at using LLMs than coders. They’re used to working with people who don’t do things exactly the way they want, but still get the job done within acceptable tolerances. Much like piloting an Eva,the skill of the operator is just as important as the machine

Important to note: Bluesky DMs are fully centralized, meaning the same issues as Twitter (e.g., blocking links to offsite profiles) could happen here. Not a dealbreaker, but a key trade-off to consider when investing time in the platform. It’s not the same as having @bacon.bsky.social email address.

I am thinking of hosting a panel with experts from top companies on managing infra spend & reliability as you scale from Seed to Series A. Focus areas: Datadog, AWS, Sentry, and Postgres. Interested in attending? Like or reply to let me know what types of stuff you'd like to see covered.
