There should be a float that lists all the companies who are cowards while playing Beck’s Loser.

Why is every search for "xyz library alternative" come up with a dev dot to or Medium article titled "I made the best library ever, it's SO MUCH better that regular library."
And I look up the library and it has been abandoned for years.

Shifting my mentality in this way was probably the single biggest thing that led to a lot of growth for me as a developer. It’s insane how many doors one misses by being stuck in the Imposter syndrome headspace.
Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."
Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."
The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

High key loving Bluesky, although I gotta say that the multi-account experience kinda sucks. 😬
Anyone got a good suggestion for an iOS Bluesky client where having more than 1 account isn’t jank?
