We've got the one and only @zoink.bsky.social on the second episode of ACCESS! We discuss: - Figma's IPO and what's next - MCP / how he's thinking about AI - The future of design Out everywhere you can get podcasts
Returning to Bluesky after some time away. Who are the best people to follow these days? Especially eager to find folks sharing math, programming, design, science and long form links
One of my meta beliefs is that limiting the set of your beliefs to things that are falsifiable leads to a less interesting life
Self awareness, introspection and therapy are all good things. But if you scratch a spot too much, it can create a scar.
I have never seen anything quite like the comms from @jay.bsky.team as she and the Bluesky team build the thing in real time (and, inevitably, run into all the rough edges of running a new network). It’s remarkable, builds trust in the service, and reminds me of the magic of very early Twitter.
drank my first coffee in four months and everything in shiny and beautiful and i swear if i tense my eyes and look close enough i can see molecules
This is probably shilling or w/e but @jay.bsky.team is such a great leader. so happy to bend the knee in her service.
Bluesky: where you hang out Twitter: where you DM people from Bluesky
I don't know how to explain it but this is what posting on this app feels like right now

Jay 🦋@jay.bsky.team · 3y agothis entire app was meant to be a quick hack while we finish the protocol, lol. oops
it’s so much easier to dream when you are not constrainted with the details of reality
I feel like we need an appreciation post for the Bluesky team 💙 Sending y’all a big hug and thanks for building Bluesky in open🦋
FYI not only are we handing out more invites to y’all who are posting, we are also handing out more invites to people inviting other awesome posters 👀💙
Spoke with @zoink.bsky.social this morning about growth. His advice: by the time you do analysis on what behaviors lead to retention, it’s too late. You probably have a hypothesis (ie. following people, having a stream of content) that is true - just go execute on that. (Can do analysis in tandem)

long term, with fully portable user accounts, your continued use of our services would be a vote of confidence in us. not a hostage situation where you lose all your friends and creations if you leave. this is set up to be a federated republic, not a walled-off empire.
