@Psionmark That sounds good, who’s that? TBH I’ve barely had the time to do any builds recently.

@Psionmark Yeah, I stopped a while ago. They never had the sets I was after so decided to call it a day.

@pilhuhn @kittylyst A coincidence, I’m sure.

@mwichary Thanks man, it made me chuckle to do.

Paul Graham to room of successful startup founders, “The evidence is clear, we need to reinforce the founder, we need to go full Founder Mode.”

@heyfluxay starter packs and lists are great for discoverability. I think I’m probably digging the influx of UK folks and the levity. Mastodon has always felt a little stiff to me.

@heyfluxay Yeah, I think so. It’s got a good feel about it.

So Bluesky got good.

@heyfluxay Good man. Have a great birthday.

@heyfluxay Yeah, the other for me is too much boozing and carousing, but that’s less of a thing now.

It’s kind of weird to find yourself half awake, completely paralysed and death literally standing beside your bed isn’t it?

I suspect layers afford greater ‘autonomy’ for teams and have the added benefit of creating obscurity from the rest of the organisation.

@heyfluxay That really sucks. I have phases where I get these so totally sympathise. Stress is a huge trigger for me and it looks like you are under quite a lot right now. I hope it passes soon.

@cstross I meant the comments on the thread: ‘what Mastodon, fiddly?!’

Look inside for a bunch of people with bios displaying their deep software creds, feigning confusion about the fiddliness of Mastodon.

@toychicken Whatever it is, it reeks of cargo cult.

@rgarner I love all my children equally…

Always a tough call between Supermix and Tangastics though.

@rgarner I meant the pale jellybeans, but the fried eggs are excellent. Fuck it, the whole bag is just ridiculously good.

Had a perfectly pleasant chat with a recruiter about a role (<1800 ppl, B2B SaaS). All going fine until they talked about how they had reorganised their product/eng teams into the Facebook model.

@rgarner Extremely hard agree. Those pale yellow/white ones are particularly fine.
