i used to write code. i still write code. but i used to too.
when i was first getting started, i was a customer facing engineer for an open-core project. i got interested in our OSS repos but i was super nervous to open a PR because sometimes people would get lambasted with many, terse review comments and i didn't wanna look stupid
Big respect to @quillmatiq.com for sharing this personal experience. I think it's important for us as devs who have been in it for a while to share these.
When I started I didn't know anyone else who knew how to code and stack overflow was always chastising new devs for their questions.

Since we're among close friends, a confession: when I was in college, I experienced some hateful engineers in the Linux community, and it kept me away from open source in my prime programming years.
Sometimes the difference between an annoyance and a valued contributor is kindness and mentorship.

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol.

I (finally!) wrote about scaling down the Bluesky AppView and how we can get to self-hosting beyond just your PDS in atproto!

Happy to announce that we’re opening up the beta to everyone today.
Thanks to our initial users who have dropped over 250 beacons over the last couple of months!
This next phase will focus on strengthening our UX and adding new layers of gamification to the experience.
Hyped to show more soon. 📡

coral.waow.tech got weird 403s from turbostream (www.graze.social/docs/graze-t...) the other day and i realized that jetstream is all it _really_ needs, so now it has random choice of jetstream url and auto-failover thanks to the community run (*.firehose.network and *.hose.cam) instances
