Been working on the algorithm for the web dev feed a bit. Think it’s finally becoming really good!

I find a few cool new things and devs on it most days
Our jobs as devs expand up and out

We can wield concepts rather than be master of the details
Hot take: AI tools like Claude Code haven't made me learn less in terms of dev tools or inner workings of computers (if you know me, you know I reverse engineer everything).

The tedious blockers clear faster, so I spend more time on the stuff I'm actually curious about, not whatever was in the way.

Hole different level of data ownership
I really need to build a buttplug with a decent embedded linux distro so you can tailnet to your tail to access your buttsky
Surprised the buttplug.io person hasn’t hosted a pds on one yet

AppView hosted behind your polycule's tailnet
There's no way someone's not already doing this

If anyone thought, wind and truth had an unsatisfying ending, they should go read the sun eater series

🫠 so much potential

PHENOMENAL news
Um... What?

This is awesome because a) Brandon gets full creative input and b) Apple TV is a phenomenal studio these days.

This is still preliminary (in Sanderson's own words, this would be step 3 of 8), but exciting!
Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV (Exclusive)
It's an unprecedented deal for the author, whose 'Mistborn' series and 'The Stormlight Archive' are being eyed for film and television adaptation, respectively.

Skylight and spark

Soar the atmosphere, not some walled garden
okay i'm gregpak on upscrolled i guess

no web version as far as i can tell, so i don't know how much i'm gonna use it (i am old and hate my phone), but i'm glad someone's pushing a tiktok/instagram alternative. we'll see if it can actually handle the impossible job of moderation soon enough.

Github's PR diff view is so bad. Just not loading images even though they're very much there :(

Who can I nerd snipe into a better auth atproto plugin?
January 27, 2026 at 6:06 AM
This is the future. An app doesn’t need to be full atproto for it to benefit users (or themselves)
