Most social networks are rooted in similar ambition and have visions of helping people explore the creative or professional adjacent-possible. Reality in social ends up different tho.

Beautiful. Though I imagine this is what LinkedIn wanted to be in its early stages. I wonder where / when things went awry.

Nice list! I learned so much from @chiphuyen.bsky.social's AI Engineering, and @karenhao.bsky.social's Empire of AI gave me a new lens on AI progress, tradeoffs, and externalities.

atproto-llms.txt atproto-llms.txt. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

@dame.is for something with the constraint of just atptoto + bsky docs, I would try adding all the docs directly as context - i've been amazed at what challenging/obscure atproto questions claude and gemini can answer just by giving it this atproto-llms.txt file

At Medium, one of our team was an opera singer and sheโ€™d occasionally sing our App Store reviews (good and bad) at the end of the weekly all hands meeting. One of the highlights of my time there!

Do you like to cook? Try getting the Six Seasons cookbook and make whatever veggies you have available to you locally. Game changer.
