"How much of software engineering is the act of writing the *code* itself?"
It's a key part: but it turns out that there are many other things that are key to software
People gaming the system and AI is eroding the quality of the job market.

Chris Murphy: "We talk a lot about the coming dictatorship, but I think what's really coming is what you would call an oligarchy."
I'd make time.
Kind of crazy that they are able to do commerce with countries in the West.
Do we have no shame?
I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.
Thank you Bluesky for letting us do breaking news again 🥺
The real-time reporting of South Korea today was far easier to follow along on Bluesky than X. It’s these moments that define these platforms. Bluesky really does have the juice.
"So that can be a major problem when you're driving in the wintertime because if snow builds up right here, the headlights are going to be completely blocked."

The APT vote yesterday creates more questions than answers.

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.
So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)

I attended a meetup in Seattle and got to spend time with @bnewbold.net and @pfrazee.com from the Bluesky engineering team.
I walked away with an understanding of the role DIDs and PDSs play in the grand scheme of things, and why the most exciting work sits higher up the stack. I almost unretired.
