Compile to Architecture For a long time we’ve treated frameworks as the target of software development. But if systems are meant to be regenerated and replaced safely, the real compilation target has to be the architecture itself.

ptr.pet/hydrant at protocol indexer with flexible filtering, xrpc queries, and a cursor-backed event stream, built on fjall

i have been working on tangled.org/ptr.pet/hydr... and its kinda usable now, its kind of like tap, it does sync and indexing for you, but also pretty different (and written in rust of course). mainly hydrant lets you stream events via a cursor vs tap expecting a single consumer and using acks

We're not going to glue stuff together out of lamp stacks.

But atproto lego: yes. Especially re-using lexicons.

Cream Pony officially opens its doors in Vancouver | Food & Drink A year after first announcing it, Cream Pony has officially opened the doors to its second location here in Vancouver.

Finally!

I actually know nothing about the food, but have been walking past the boarded up windows for a long time now. Good to see it coming back to life.

Everyone here is playing and experimenting with new ways that social media can be useful instead of draining and bad. It might take a while but the future is obviously here

It’s an atproto server, Cory. Perhaps you mean the code is maintained by Bluesky?

And you’re on atproto, Cory. That’s your atproto account.

You have a Bluesky profile. Stored on your atproto account.

It would be helpful if you helped spread the name of the atproto community.

New: footnotes!

One of our top editor requests…and not one thing but three!

* Footnotes: classic, bottom of post
† Sidenotes: easy reference, with wider windows
‑ Popover: tap to preview, great on mobile

Sadly we did not get *recursive footnotes* into this release; DFW-aspirants…PR welcome :P

For sure! I meant more from the perspective that I've been following his work a long time, so like in the Wardley extended universe of his relatively consistent terminology.

@tynanpurdy.com made good points about atproto community needing a different set of links that go beyond dev content - so also thinking about that content and set of domains.

Lots of needs to meet!

Domain mapped too links.atprotocol.dev

Did it as an experiment, I want to figure out how this URL can be a good starting point for developer info.

And how to share this task so we can curate together.

It may be that we in fact regenerate entire applications much like infrastructure-as-code - see @chadfowler.com's writing

I'm collecting in @semble.so and adding highlights in @margin.at as I re-read this work if you want to follow along, plus I've made a number of my collections open ones if you'd like to add additional examples.

The Phoenix Architecture Generative AI coding demands what we've always known: modularity, clear boundaries, disposable components. Principles that scaled human teams are now table stakes. Here, we make the implicit explicit

And folks like @chadfowler.com are looking back at their own lessons, and reasoning about how they apply.

Much like cattle not pets, we're roughly heading for specs not code.

Why the Fuss About Serverless? | HackerNoon To explain this, I’m going to have to recap on some old work with a particular focus on co-evolution.

The article linked in the top post, on conversational programming, has a link back to @swardley.bsky.social's post from 2016, describing "serverless" as an evolution of compute and practices.

Knowing our history is going to help us examine how things evolve.

Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones - Simon Wardley
Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones - Simon Wardley YouTube video by Causal Islands

Wardley is always worth watching, and it will give you a grounding in mapping

"we will examine the level of situational awareness within business & why it matters. We will focus in on the transformation in the IT industry, the rise of serverless & the future of conversational programming."

I asked Simon @swardley.bsky.social to present at @causalislands.com in 2023 (when he wrote this piece), because I wanted those early adopters and dreamers to have a grounding in Wardley Maps and thinking about the tech landscape.

I'm just going through and re-reading @swardley.bsky.social and linking things together - he always has an article 10 years ago that he can refer to, to show the "map in reverse" of how tech and the co-evolution of best practices has happened.

There may have been some people who suggested it would be good to jump on.

Still my message today: if you want users and distribution - integrate with atproto.

It’s not perfect, but it’s open and heading in good directions.
