Thanks incognitothief @whereditgo.diamonds for spinning on main stage at Lab Day. I have to check whether we got audio / video recordings. We can plan ahead for #AtmosphereConf if you’re up for it
incognitothief@whereditgo.diamonds · 4d agoMy DJ style... I am not a very good DJ. There is no proper way to mix. I bring other things. The music. jagged approach. places I am not supposed to be. I am just a beatmaker recounting. Or equivalent of a graffiti artist. Not a DJ

If you're a maintainer, I highly recommend you watch Brendan's @localfirstconf.com talk. He goes over the story and lessons learned to get @iroh.computer from idea to 1.0. It's a testament to why finding and maintaining proper scope is fundamental to the success of open source projects.

My @localfirstconf.com talk is online: how we ended up building local-first for factories, by necessity, not by choice. It ends with five requirements that stopped us adopting an existing sync engine. If we got any of them wrong, tell me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhca...

I wrote up my talk at @localfirstconf.com as a blogpost The AT Protocol is a high-scale network by design. It works by codifying proven architectures into a protocol. If you've ever used kafka to connect some backend services, then you basically know how atproto works.
Starting from scale in the design of the AT Protocol
Bluesky was founded in 2022 to produce a protocol which Twitter could adopt. The product goals changed, but the requirements didn't.

Tomorrow is the first regional Local First Meetup, happening in New York at the Radegast Hall & Biergarten (continuing a Berlin tradition!)
LoFi Meetup NY (Hosted by Iroh) · Luma
Join us at Radegast Hall & Biergarten for a drink and a casual chat about local-first software. "Local first" is a term for software that prioritizes data…

I met Luke @luke.kanies.com at @localfirstconf.com & answered some atproto questions at the beer garden. He wrote Building on atproto with a lot of questions about permissioned data and how this meshes with local first.

Yes, we have video recordings. Will be released for everyone in a couple of weeks.
a bit late but had soo much fun at @localfirstconf.com made lots of new friends and met wonderful ppl!
we, at anytype.io almost fell into implementation of global p2p rabbit hole back then and resisted the urge by miracle. After the talk Brendan gave at @localfirstconf.com it feels like we've dodged a bullet haha. And now we can just plug it!

there is a straight line from my @recurse.com batch in 2023 to speaking in front of ~400 people—including many personal and professional heroes—at @localfirstconf.com. plus three years of learning, making friends (both online and off) and having a blog that i'm actually proud of. apply for a batch!

Been hanging out with the wonderful @npmx.dev folks (they are serious when they talk about community!) and a lot of other awesome people this week. What a great conference @localfirstconf.com and thanks to everyone organising!
