I'm beginning to think of agentic coding's niche as "3D printing, but for software" In other words, it helps when you need some functionality that's not easily available off the shelf and you don't care if it's scuff. However, it's less well-suited to industrial-grade automation

@marque.at I’m running into a pds /xrpc/com.atproto.repo.putRecord: 400: {"error":"InvalidToken","message":"Malformed token"} When I try to add CNAME errors through the web app.

@bsky.app Please don’t turn off my music when I’m scrolling through a feed. The audio of an embedded video must be opt-in. You don’t even turn my music back on afterwards.

@netshaq.bsky.social Re: Bean Soup Theory I urge you to look up the “ATProtocol”. It has a very coherent story about an attainable future of the internet that is human shaped, and not solely measured, and incentivized on attention.

ATProto just gives us the infrastructure so we can build high quality application experiences, a better user trust story, and it can be invisible enough to sneak people onto the open web. Until ATProto, we didn’t get to build high quality experiences that can serve many without lock in.

Gonna take a big swing at “selling a world-class product to users at a competitive price” and see where that gets us Users can always move, “publishing text on the internet” has no moat, the only acquisition stories precluded are the most cynical ones

Red Flags are inherent in redemption stories. I’m not unconvinced that the #platner of 2026 is the changed man that he said he became through study and community. but the evil of his darkest moments are disqualifying for elected leadership roles. …

Progressive politics in America will by necessity, have American characteristics. That means reformed idiots, and young men that went down dark paths earlier in their life have to be included in the movement. #platner has credible SA allegations, and those are intolerable.

Talking about #platner here is scary. I did connectwith the content of his message. Platner went way over the line of what we should tolerate to represent us and needs to leave immediately. But I still think it’s vital that we allow for nuance when it comes to people with checkered pasts.

Good thing Platners message was focused on community building if that’s the one thing he was telling the truth about, than Maine should be okay. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Mainers, you got this. Figure it out.

I realize this far more useful with some screenshots for context. There’s still a bunch of chroming and user facing polish coming, but I’ve been deep in the editing UI, making it possible to hydrate in-app. Treat these as non-canonical 😂 Check the alt text for more info.

Gonna start brain dumping more consistently about @openmusicevent.app (OME) to hopefully start garnering some #atprotodev ecosystem interest. Open Music Event is going to be in a public open beta by August 15th. It’s an #atproto app for concerts, music festivals and other similarly shaped events
