Sometimes I find myself fixating on a very niche thing for a long while with an absurd amount of effort for not much value.
Case in point: coding in Python to create phase diagrams of some LPG components.
Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉
We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:
-
1. The name Bluesky was originally a placeholder for the project started by Twitter to build an open social protocol.
Purely by coincidence, my mother gave me the name Lantian, which translates to "blue sky."
-
2. Here's an image from a presentation I gave to Twitter, representing the Twitter bird freed from a closed platform to fly in Bluesky's open ecosystem.
-
3. Bluesky was an invite-only app until February 2024 to give us time to grow the network responsibly and build our Trust & Safety team.
When we opened to the public, we published both a comic strip and an academic paper to explain Bluesky.
