Gall's Law:

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system."

I really was missing IndieWeb. It's so good I was actually able to deploy my stuff, since it was in development for almost half a year now.

Hello IndieWeb. I'm here with a new website. It's really basic, but based on a new improved version of my engine and should be blazing fast! I also had a hardware upgrade - now I'm using an old notebook instead of a Raspberry Pi. The RPi itself is ok, just needs a software upgrade.

Accounts tweeting garbage was one of the primary threat models, of course, but I'll give you that we didn't anticipate Jack tweeting hate speech to many millions of people. 😢

What I like about IndieWeb is it gives a bunch of small, relatively-easy-to-implement building blocks that provide parts of that, but there's still a lot that needs to happen to make it all work nicely together and provide a UX that's sensible.

Someone found out the number Jack Dorsey linked to twitter for SMS and used that to post. “Cloudhopper” is how SMS posts show up because Twitter doesn’t give a shit about anything.

Another great reason to treat your personal phone number like your password and use Google Voice.

Radical, that's great to hear. I'll admit I'm not too familiar with the future goals of OAuth. This type of things seems like an easy win, both for sites using OAuth and users. Just one extra level of granularity makes such a difference.

Heard of a cool tech-bro-weeding interview technique the other day. A male and female engineer conduct the interview session together. If, when the female engineer asks the candidate a question, he directs his answer to the male engineer, then he's out. They said it happens a lot
