This connects with a Tom Brady moment that I thought was cool was in the 2018 Super Bowl
Brady and McDaniels were talking about how it was going to be a low scoring game for them and just playing around that.
I think code switching to game manager mode is a winning skill — it was for Brady

I think he’s a rhythm QB who just struggles processing the defense post-snap.
When we have the defense on their heels, he shreds them. When the defense is disguising coverages he can make mistakes.
He just needs to switch to Alex Smith mode when the defense is trying to mess with him.

It was the “where [user] hasn’t seen this post before” stuff that was a killer

Yeah this was a big problem for us (Skylight) when we had our first big spike of users.
You’re never really prepared for your DB to become your bottleneck.

The reason we do this is because creating a Bluesky post requires your email to be validated and the flow for this actually requires us to ask for your email and then pass it to a service.
I’d prefer an opaque way to do email validation too

All good. I think PDS’s will be a paid service like Dropbox. This isn’t the case right now because we don’t have private data storage.

They feel like they are the sum of their parts.
They are a stacked roster built from a stacked war chest accumulated by making obviously smart moves.
We knew they’d be a good team before they even picked the players and that makes it hard to care.

It’s a burden right now because all the data is public anyway. When we store private data on the PDS that changes.

It’s probably great! I bet Anthropic wants the Bun team to just focus on Bun and not worry about adjacent money making businesses.
Claude Code uses Bun so it doesn’t make sense for them to let it die, if anything a better Bun expands their product capabilities.

I bet it’s about Claude Code.
The Bun team understands CLI and dev environments really well.
Claude Code also uses Bun and they need it to be good. By acquiring them, they let the team just focus on making Bun even better by not worrying about money.

I’m torn on this one but one point in favor:
People can already make private authenticated API calls off-protocol.
Restricted XRPC endpoints enable a middle ground that doesn’t exist otherwise.

In this world, individuals gain power by collective bargaining.
Let’s say an app changes their Terms of Service so they own the rights to anything posted on their platform.
That’s tough for individuals to fight but a PDS can refuse to authenticate that app for 1m users.
I might be wrong though

I think of decentralization in terms of leverage.
Users have leverage over their PDS provider because they can leave.
The PDS has leverage over the apps because they represent a lot of users.
The apps have leverage because the user likes them.
