i remember when this happened so vividly, the feeling was so visceral like we were actually going to war.. back when a 'lockdown' meant life or death for the entire company.
as a bright-eyed bushy-tailed intern in 2011, coming in to work on the weekends, only because everyone else at the company was doing it. getting an impromptu email to gather around the aquarium like a general addressing his troops. its crazy how different working in tech back was then compared to now.
super proud of our small but mighty web team for winning 2 @thewebbyawards for threads.net. happy to see the hard work the team poured into building the website with responsive design and high craft being recognized by the industry.
lots more exciting web features coming very soon, check out the threads.net experience if you haven't already!
there should be tech companies with teams of data scientists and software engineers that leverage AI/ML, CV, and massive amounts of historical/current data to offer deep analytics for teams to optimize their players and strategy. the competitive advantage would be enormous.
think: moreyball-as-a-service (MAAS). anyone familiar with this industry and whether there are already companies doing this?
finally watched moneyball (2011) and found myself intrigued by the GM role in professional sport teams. it feels like there are parallels with tech exec roles in that you're responsible for building a XFN team, managing a budget, navigating politics, and making data driven decisions to win in your product market.
are there other sports movies that focus on front office drama rather than players?
We've received so much interest in the Threads API coming end of June! For developers wanting to get a head start, we've made the API documentation publicly available today. There is also a sign up form for you to be notified when the API is available.
I'm excited to see what our community will build 🚧
as everyone is trying out fediverse, today is a good reminder that threads support rel=me link verification -- another open web standard we adopted last year.
this is useful right now because you can't see fediverse replies to your posts on threads yet. so if you use a mastodon alt account to reply to your threads posts, setting this up proves you are the owner of the mastodon and threads account.
it's official, threads is entering the fediverse! we still have a long way to go, but this is our first major step towards the interoperability commitments we made at launch.
if you enabled federation, you will also see your replies to this post in the fediverse. try it out! to find the setting, go to Profile > Account settings > Fediverse sharing to opt-in
im curious how they deal with synchronizing so many different kinds of state changes across dozens/hundreds of tracks and editors..even when using premiere pro for individual projects, i've encountered corrupted save files, unsaved changes, and syncing issues.
version control for video editing must be an interesting problem
Over the past few months, we’ve been building the Threads API to enable creators, developers and brands to manage their Threads presence at scale and easily share fresh, new ideas with their communities from their favorite third-party applications.
The API currently enables users to authenticate, publish threads, and fetch the content they posted through these tools – and soon, we will enable reply moderation and insights capabilities.
who are your favorite nba players, commentators, journalists or publishers that are (1) already posting on threads or (2) active on other platforms and you wish were on threads?
it seems universeodon inadverdently defederated threads.net a while back, so i haven't been able to view any fediverse replies to my posts from my universeodon alt account. it looks like we're back now, but i can't view older posts on there. apologies if i never replied, but this was the reason why!
