👏👏👏 to those who are unionising at DeepMind, an amazing effort, but *also* if you work at a Big Tech company, you should
probably assume there *is* a military connection until it has been explicitly proven otherwise on.ft.com/42LTDWp

Pretty incredible how Bluesky does two things no other major social network does:

1. Show content from people you follow

2. Don’t deprioritize posts with links

The “incredible” part is how ads-driven social networks & ones optimizing for “engagement” stopped doing either.
We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

A great skill to have if you're working on design systems is rolling your own scripts to pull out usage stats from a codebase.

If you have access to old releases, you can also pull out adoption stats retrospectively.

The year is 2024, and I am *still* trying to convince people that in order for a design system to actually work, you need to dedicate resources to it.

Moved over here a week ago and the vibe is so much better.

Almost forgot what the absence of bait and grift feels like, it's refreshing.

Already seen loads of great content from people I haven't seen for a while 💯

Just learned about hidden=“until-found” from @konnorrogers.com and now I have to rework tabs and other components to use it 😅

This lets you search the page, including any hidden content, and show it automatically in the correct search order — like
