I attended a meetup in Seattle and got to spend time with @bnewbold.net and @pfrazee.com from the Bluesky engineering team.
I walked away with an understanding of the role DIDs and PDSs play in the grand scheme of things, and why the most exciting work sits higher up the stack. I almost unretired.

Sustaining (and its accelerating) the current growth rate of 4 new users per second, @bsky.app will cross 100 million users within 9 months. Wild.

I wrote about how we should look to open standards, and be weary of trusting companies that have closed systems:

Open standards, trust, and Google
We should build and use software that uses open standards, and be careful about the companies in which we place our trust.
