My dad retired 5 weeks ago and today I got this photo.

I see that a lot too. So many projects with decent protocol design but impossible UX.

Might be some Subscription Generation effect at play here, too.

Thanks for sharing. Was the decision ultimately made by vote (eg council) or administrator (eg streets dept) or something else?

using it as a headline encourages people to overgeneralize. more personally, as a mom in tech, it makes me flinch.

perpetuates the idea that women are bad at tech, doubly so if they're moms. i know this might be specifically about *your* mom, but using it as a headline or in an interview encourages ppl to overgeneralize.

Mine love 70s funk and soul (September, Dancing Queen) and also Van Halen's Jump, which is an insta-trigger to climb on something high and jump off.

I just swore to myself today that I would dial down my atproto metaposting, but this thread & convo is too good not to share.

In fact, 80% of non-BSky collections are under active development with records written in the last week - 90% in the last month. Almost *no* abandoned projects where more than a small handful of uptake. The ecosystem is ~sticky~. Why?

Number of ATProto Collections by Last Active Date. X axis is date, ranging from April 3 2025 to now (≈6 months ish), Y axis is number of collections where the most recent generated record was produced on that specific date. A basically zero-hugging graph up until the last few days with a ton of active development.

Voting for Evo for you.

I'm a fan of racing your strengths, training & buying bike parts for your weaknesses. Doubt weight will hold you back. Coming from a track/road background in rocky/rooty PA, my riding levelled up ton with a Juliana Furtado (130/130).

A couple good links. A common theme is tying back to goals & users, and describing problems not solutions.
