Can we please stop calling web development “web2”.
It’s “web”.
There is no “web3”. It’s embarrassing to associate unregulated securities with a splash of code with this term.
Crypto isn’t tech. It’s unregulated finance built on shitty tech. The key part is unregulated finance not the tech.
This is why the branding of web3 was so offensive to web techies. Ponzis, pump & dump schemes and wash trading on a slow append-only DB isn’t the future of the web
. 🍦 Can't do this for everyone, but if you have a ton of followers on Twitter and want to switch over and there's a held-but-unavailable username you want, reply here and I'll see what we can do.
While Twitter is having a mega-breakdown right now, Tumblr is having a mega-resurgence
My favorite part of Tumblr is the culture around shoelaces
I'll explain in this thread (a lesson on why culture matters):
And infrastructure engineering — folks who can design, deploy, and operate systems that run at scale, ideally across multiple physical locations in an active-active setup. Deep knowledge of the entire stack layer 1 thorough layer 7.
Look I know people are all on Mastodon but right now Tumblr has, en mass, decided to make up a 1970s Martin Scorsese mafia film that they've all seen that doesn't exist, and is doing pantomime fandom about it and it is AMAZING.
Long before the stretch of Broadway between Columbus and Montgomery was peppered with strip joints, it was home to popular jazz clubs. With the opening of Keys Jazz Bistro, North Beach is once again poised to be a destination for jazz aficionados.
Well, it was a lovely time I’ve enjoyed you all very much. Instagram is where I’m mostly at but I’m absolutely down to migrate to @tumblr bc my entire teens were spent on it and if it’s giving what it was in 2010 I’m beyond with this. I like art and discourse and we all do that
Okay this turned out pretty well. Happy to answer questions: We are seeing huge waves of people joining Tumblr. We're keeping things running. We know this is a big responsibility and doing our best to serve the community. We will make mistakes, but we'll fix them ASAP.
From @kait_tiffany, "Tumblr Gets the Last Laugh"—a reminder that platforms can rise from catastrophe, namaste https://theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/11/elon-musk-twitter-tumblr-blue-check-marks/672165/…
The tragedy of entrepreneurship is that there’s no relationship between the ability to get funding & press coverage and the ability to be an effective CEO that delivers a great product.
Ok, so you can get up to 24 blue check marks on Tumblr, which is funny now, but wait till blue check inflation really kicks in. You're not going to be laughing when you have to pay for at least 2048 blue check marks on LinkedIn in order to update your resume.
Super excited to share a preprint! At @Caltech, we build the first closed-loop brain-machine (#BMI) interface that is able to decode internal speech . Check it out here: https://medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.02.22281775v1…
Voters have affirmed what our extensive outreach has shown—San Franciscans want a safe, permanent Promenade in Golden Gate Park. What was once a dangerous street has been transformed into a place for recreation, art, music, and human connection.
