This was so good. Funny as hell and never once being mean or hurtful.

Oof. Flashback: arguing for obvious best practice (as a senior) and having a peanut gallery of juniors giving a bunch of objections - including that it sounded hard and they’d never worked in a place that did that.
Yes, I know, that’s why the product and org is in the shape it’s in.

I think we are going to see a dividing line for sure. Nobody is catching up to Threads scale anytime soon and it will shortly top even Twitter at its peak. IG has two billion with a B monthly active users. The real world is already there.
But maybe more real & direct conversations will happen here.

The average person doesn’t have a Bluesky invite… but they do have an Instagram handle.
Bluesky feels cozier, tbh, but the Threads launch is really going to ramp up the pressure to scale. Curious whether they will stick to slow growth or go for the numbers. And what the community will do.

* They’re not zombies. TLOU never uses that word. It’s always “Infected” or the particular sub-variant - runner, clicker, bloater, etc.
