Ever wondered how Bluesky was built?

With @hejelin.bsky.social , we spent the last couple of weeks talking with @pfrazee.com, @dholms.xyz (two "founding" engineers) to get a sense of how this platform went from zero to where it is today.

THANK YOU! I had no idea how small the initial team was! Perhaps it's an exaggeration, but what @pfrazee.com @dholms.xyz @jay.bsky.team have built is on a par with the start of the Internet by DARPA. Also makes me feel guilty for putting so much pressure on a still small ream.

I think this write up and a few podcasts from Paul made this platform so much cooler in my eyes. Been a bit more active here lately and I'm liking it so far. Enjoyed it Gergely, good stuff!

Fantastic article! Great work, great subject -- nit: I wonder if you mean "agnostic" here

I like this phrase: "get a sense of how this platform went from zero to WHERE IT IS today." It leaves room for your own interpretations 🤣
