"Infra stack: from AWS to on-prem. AWS was becoming too costly, so #Bluesky moved over to dedicated data centers and bare-metal machines."

That's not something you read every day.

I want to follow all the people who talk about the #fediverse. It's a topic we want to cover more on @TheNewStack. :)

We don’t need AI videos. Not a fan.

You can’t reduce breaking news about decades old conflicts into viral TikTok videos without discarding years of context, nuance and generational pain.

And when TikTok is where 20% (and growing) of 18- to 24-year-olds are getting their news, we’re going to find ourselves in a serious mountain of shit.

“Going to the office is no longer a necessity. It's a choice. And we wanted to know what, if anything, would cause people to voluntarily choose to go back to the office when the entire rest of the world (including the comfort of their bed) beckoned. And we're happy to report that the results are in:

Mostly no.

Recall that we went absolutely all out – we did everything possible to make the office as attractive as we possibly could. Drinks delivered straight to your desk. Gigabit wifi. Call rooms. We took this concept further than any company reasonably could at scale, to leave no stone unturned.
…
You heard it here folks:

The office is dead.”

AI Engineering -- what is it? @ricmac says it is different from just applying ML and deep learning. More so, it's a front-end dev way to integrate AI into applications. It's still early -- hype exceeds capabilities but it does reflect what makes technologies like AI agents more relevant as devs look for ways to automate tasks. /Do you use AI agents?

I shitcanned my Twitter 2 weeks ago.

Left behind 30,000 followers.

Only have 1000 here.

But I still get more traffic to my writing...

Which should tell you something about Birdchan.

Anyway, repost to support an indie transgender tech writer and journalist! ✍️🍕🏳️‍⚧️
