There's a popular perception that the "vibes are good" on bsky. Just one look at the replies here will dispel that perception. The real test of a "good vibes" culture is when you have to engage with those you disagree with.

If you're going to share a personal website / portfolio with prospective employers, make sure the basics check out (supports HTTPS, no certificate warnings, renders well on mobile etc). These are small details but they make a difference.

Hey bsky, I made a thing! tsatu.rocks For fans of The Seen And The Unseen (seenunseen.in), my favorite podcast, by Amit Varma (of India Uncut fame, among other things) In each episode, Amit asks his guests to recommend books, music, movies etc - this is my attempt to make that more accessible!

Between all the talk about "AI slop", degrading Google search quality, challenges like Perplexity etc, I find myself wondering: How did we ever convince ourselves into manifesting "SEO" as an industry? All that time and energy, wasted in wordsmithing, not to communicate, but to appease the algo ..

Finished Dwarkesh's episode with @gwern.bsky.social yday - amongst the many interesting factoids, that Gwern is basically living off "early Bitcoin" savings + ~12K/yr from his Patreon. So next time I'm in a "why crypto" conversation, I'll just say it gave us Gwern 🎙️🫳🏽

Hi Bluesky newcomers (newskies?): I'm seeing a lot of people carry over the same posting patterns from X -- the most annoying one being not including links in the first post. This is not X! You don't have to worry about optimizing for "the algorithm" Go wild! Play with different styles!

I logged in here after a few days of being away and I was pleasantly surprised with the addition of multiple feeds. Pretty well integrated and easy to use - well done, y'all! Especially enjoying the "newskies" feed, I know I still feel like I'm skeeting into the void - go welcome some newskies!
