I'd just like to interject for a moment. what you're referring to as Bluesky, is in fact ATProto/Bluesky, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ATProto plus Bluesky

"Why won't you debate my IDEAS?"
"Because they're bad ideas."
"But ideas should be allowed to succeed or fail on their merits."
"Yes. We heard your ideas and they had no merit. We think they're bad ideas. Your bad ideas failed."
"Ah, what I meant was, my ideas should only be allowed to succeed."

No.

Orcas are terrifying. They eat great whites. They eat tiger sharks. Their evolution corresponds to megalodon extinction.

If there were an orca vs. Shark March mammal madness battle, is there a shark species you’d bet on winning?

The Amazon Prime Video team was able to reduce cost by moving from Serverless backed by Lambda to monoliths running on VMs.

"Moving our service to a monolith reduced our infrastructure cost by over 90%. It also increased our scaling capabilities."
