@Doomscroll Thanks — it was fun!

#interview

Thanks to Brent Simmons / @brentsimmons for taking the time to participate in today’s Mastodon interview.

We covered:

- software craftsmanship
- what makes code age well

- lessons from large engineering organizations

- the future of @NetNewsWire, RSS and the open web

If you missed it, you can read the full thread here.

#interview

@brentsimmons Thanks for taking the time to thoughtfully answer my questions. Your insight and reflections on software craft, RSS, blogging, and the open web were genuinely inspiring.

Thanks to everyone who followed along!

#interview

@Doomscroll That person probably already has an idea of what they’d like to do. I’d tell them to chase that idea!

@brentsimmons I like being on Mastodpn and @ivory is one of my favorite apps.

Last question. If someone were starting today and wanted to build software that genuinely improves the web rather than exploiting it, what advice would you give them?

#interview

@Doomscroll I haven’t used Nostr. I have a Bluesky account but people don’t seem to notice it. Or maybe it’s just different people there with different interests. At any rate I remain quite skeptical of Bluesky — we’ll see what happens.

Mastodon, on the other hand, I truly dig. It feels like my natural social media home.

Of course it helps that @ivory is so good that it makes Mastodon feel like home. :)

#interview

@brentsimmons We’re having this conversation on Mastodon. Is this your social media platform of choice these days? Or is it platforms like Bluesky or Nostr? Or are you platform agnostic?

@Doomscroll Healthier, for sure. RSS readers don’t lead people by the nose down into a snake pit of outrage and white supremacist radicalization. People have argued that we got Trump because of Twitter and Facebook.

We probably always had to run this stupid fucking experiment with corporate social media. I’m glad we’re getting past it now.

#interview

@leoncowle @Doomscroll There’s no magic bullet, but there are a few fairly easy things that are worth doing.

An example is with guids: if it’s a permalink (and they are, by default, permalinks), check to see if starts with https:// or http:// — if not, assume it’s not actually a permalink and is just an ID. (Might be a relative URL, sure, but you can’t really tell.)

Beyond that, I rely on people to report bugs with feeds. I often ask them to report it to the publishing website.

#interview

@brentsimmons If the web had been built around feed readers like NetNewsWire instead of algorithmic timelines, how do you think our relationship with information online would be different today?

#interview

@Doomscroll Create a feed based on things happening on their computer (maybe from some logs or whatever). Or create a dashboard view of the latest items from their favorite sites and show it as a web view. Etc.

I don’t know! But I’d love to be surprised — and my experience working on developer tools (Frontier, back in the day) tells me I *will* be surprised, and happily.

#interview

@Doomscroll I paid for Tapestry — it’s a great app! I haven’t tried Surf Social, but it look pretty cool.

Don’t take NetNewsWire as my statement about how RSS readers ought to be. It’s one approach, and it will click for some people and not others. That is all good.

What I want is for us to get back to that diverse web ecosystem we had in the 2000s, where we had the fun of trying new approaches all the time. That’s what the web should be about: experiment, play, freedom.

#interview

@brentsimmons Color me intrigued! What kinds of things could users do with scripting in NetNewsWire that they can’t do today?
