One big personal take for me since the “Twitter migration” is that the main missing piece of big social has been “seamless” movement between various levels of private/public in a single/standard interface. Neither fediverse nor atmosphere really target that, and so are both disappointing to me.

Had similar thoughts today looking at things from the outside. My head immediately figured “31 Dec” is still 2025, and that if one person rides one train once, that’d count as ‘open’.

For those paying attention, musk has been a problem or suspect for a while.
I’d heard opinions from people I trusted that he was BS - a decade or more ago.
The lesson, I think, is the power of marketing/branding at large enough scales should be viewed as like weapons of mass destruction.

Timing, pacing, characters, landing moments, coherence etc … all seemed off to me, with a kinda incoherent mishmash of vibes, scenes and events.
I got the distinct sense the director had actors yell a lot because they knew things weren’t landing well on set.

The long game gets even longer, because before you can even teach people to recognize patterns, you have to convince them that there’s something to recognize at all.

Yea, I’m no staff eng, but the uptick also seemed a bit suspicious to me (quantitatively that is) as I imagine it’d be somewhat more hit and miss than the graph suggests.

Yea, the situation for juniors has been the danger zone from the beginning IMO.
You could tell when everyone zeroed on the “it’s like having a dumb but fast junior always on hand” mental model.
So what are juniors supposed to do then?!

I also find it disorientating to see two different but maybe connected py bad versions of a revenge of the nerds.
US’s technocracy, that’s winning and it’s bad, and then the weirdly confused Fedi thing that is not winning, which is also arguably a bad thing.
