The Fediverse is not forever, at least not in its current form. ActivityPub is but a waypoint before another protocol crops up and we will walk away again. Pack light and let them have the dusty husks of uncool.
And so I'm okay with @dansup and @Gargron signing whatever they want to sign and talking about whatever they want to talk in the valley of the shadow of greed.
Don't be *that* person when the shit hits the fan
I've read multiple times that Reddit 1.0 was written in Lisp. I didn't realize the source is public.
It's amazing. You can read the whole thing in one sitting. Even an undergrad could. It's like the essence of a…Reddit.
We took a wrong turn w/ software.

re: life tips of how not to die
One of the reasons I stopped making client apps for corporate platforms is because "filling in the gaps" of someone else's platform usually resolves itself poorly. Either the platform holder fills in the gap, they decide the gap goes against their corporate interests, or the gap is itself meaningless and nobody wants a fix for it.
For any young devs out there making a client app for some corpo's API, I strongly recommend not doing that, except for fun projects or things that get you headlines.
LLMs doing that "garbage in - garbage out" thing...
