"The worst was yet to come, he knew. Already he could feel a world of trouble waiting for him behind the next door, but the worst that could have happened was also already behind him; the thing not done, which could have been – which he would have had to live with for the rest of his life.”

The tension here is mild. Deliberately so.
The story tightens slowly, quietly, almost politely.
And because of that, the ending doesn’t shock — it lands.

dot-com was a bubble too, but the tech actually worked out in the end.
do you think it’ll be different with LLMs?

Talk. Don’t push.
Listen more than you speak.
No surprises, no cowboy moves.
Good deals aren’t won in a moment — they’re built, slowly, by people who plan to still be around.

Good Deals Don’t Make Noise
Real-world lessons from long-term business negotiations. No theatrics, no paper-slamming — just trust, timing, and knowing you’ll have to sit at the same table again.

5/6 Start higher than where you expect to land.
Not ’cause you’re greedy.
But ’cause deals need room to breathe.
Cash helps — but it’s rarely the real prize.

4/6 If you’re in a long-term deal, think long-term.
Before you negotiate, ask yourself:
“What happens if this goes sideways?”
Then take a few steps like you mean it — and let the other side see it.

3/6 Contracts are like a fire extinguisher.
Good to have on the wall.
Everybody sees it.
Nobody wants to grab it unless the place is already burning.

2/6 When the other guy fucks up, it ain’t time to slam signed papers on the table.
’Cause sooner or later, you gonna fuck up too.
And page 47 won’t save you then.

exactly, yeah — looks like that’s the way to go for now.

makes sense — i like the service-proxied vision a lot.
my angle was more minimal: push relay fed from Jetstream public stream,
no oauth, just APNs/FCM dispatch.
basically a public notif layer we could prototype today.

Or @mackuba.eu might know? Don’t really want to rely on a poller with app password.

Looks like push has to go through AppView for now.
Wondering if a parallel push layer could work — basically a community-level registerPush endpoint + Jetstream-based dispatcher for APNs/FCM.
Would that fit into your infra experiments?

i know you keep the quality bar high ✨
but even a minimal client-side oauth lib would already shift the ecosystem in a safer direction.

and honestly, current practice across alt clients is kinda scary.
app passwords everywhere. it’s fragile + bad UX.
if you give them just proper oauth client flow (plus optional backend piece), the overall security bar goes way up.

on security: many bugs only show up once devs actually start using the code.
that’s why my PRs to your AtProtoKit were mostly trivial fixes — i was the first one hitting those paths. early use = early feedback.

if you’re building all 3, the client-side part feels like the biggest win + lowest effort.
i hacked a dirty but working version for ATProtoKit pretty fast, and it already made a big difference.
so maybe shipping that first, standalone, could unlock adoption sooner?
