Replying to @andrewsharp
@andrewsharp @benthompson was listening to your convo on Meta and what else they could be building if not metaverse. Wouldn’t now be a great time for them to go after Twitter and the more public/broadcast social media market?

Ok, @andrewsharp, wanted to resurface this convo. Seems like Meta is indeed going after Twitter’s broadcast social media space. Any updates reflections from you or @benthompson on this play?
Meta is planning to release its Twitter competitor in mid July, I’m told. It will eventually hook into Mastodon/ActivityPub but not at first. theverge.com/2023/6/23/23771…

I assume whatever Meta releases will be more user friendly than mastodon, and immediately mass market, unlike Bluesky. It continues to feel like a smart move by Meta to me, so would appreciate renewed discussion here.

“In 1947, Hopper famously identified the first computer ‘bug’ when she traced a Mark I glitch back to a moth that was caught in a relay wire, shorting out a circuit…and inspiring the term ‘debugging’ used ever since for solving problems with a computer program’s execution”-@erie

An amazing opportunity for tech-industry workers in Colorado to do meaningful work. Reach out if you have questions about my experience, but it was one of the best opportunities of my life. I highly endorse this concept and the team involved here in particular.

So impressed by @molliebradlee @chadgeidel and the team for this great work. Two years ago, a child case worker had to call us to tell us the system was down. We've come a long way.
A must-read for any government team dealing with legacy software. In this blog post the Trails team that supports child welfare cases in the state shares lessons to move from red to green by taking a deep look at people, processes, and technology. tinyurl.com/2bhpyr6u
