I attended a meetup in Seattle and got to spend time with @bnewbold.net and @pfrazee.com from the Bluesky engineering team.
I walked away with an understanding of the role DIDs and PDSs play in the grand scheme of things, and why the most exciting work sits higher up the stack. I almost unretired.

Sustaining (and its accelerating) the current growth rate of 4 new users per second, @bsky.app will cross 100 million users within 9 months. Wild.

Open standards, trust, and Google
We should build and use software that uses open standards, and be careful about the companies in which we place our trust.

Bluesky was a project kicked off by Jack when he was CEO of Twitter in 2019. Jack chose Jay to lead Bluesky, & Twitter paid Bluesky to build an open social protocol (not funding). Bluesky has been an independent company (PBLLC) since its formation in 2021. Bsky is owned by team; Jack is on the board

Ok. Gonna give this a try tomorrow. Going live at ~1pm pacific on YouTube to explore the AT protocol. Come join in and we can hang out and learn together.
I'll post the link when it happens. Still thinking if I want to announce it on the birb site or not. Not everyone is here yet.

I just gave a quick read of the ATP docs. They are pretty good and the design decision seem mostly sound. A few things I'd do differently but not major.
If I did a livestream playing around and with thoughts would anyone actually want to watch?
