yea absolutely 🩷 what i’m really expressing is that i think you are grappling with the real pragmatics of what bridging looks like, which i admire and have no issues with. but at the same time im trying to be stringent about the question as framed, to demonstrate why i think it’s a bad question.
i want to agree with you so bad 😭😭
i think part of the main point of contention on the “agency” piece is agency for whom to do what, and the “what” being better tools/understanding to request devs exercise their agency seems like it wouldn’t fit the bill
hmm i think you're right that its a call to action for devs/ecosystem but i interpreted it as precluding certain forms of targeting the population ("it is us that have no change, not them" type thing). in any case i'm on board with what you're saying i just don't know if it's what they want
yea i think those are all good pragmatic issues to raise for a given problem, but if my understanding is correct, it's actually not the same thing as being requested.
it's being framed as a social problem of inclusion for the non-devs, and the solution of "assimilate them into becoming more like devs through education" seems like solving a different (more reasonable) problem.
my charitable reconstruction is this:
1. atproto devs should be more widely sociable to non-devs and find ways to work with them
2. we should celebrate, encourage, and not discriminate against non-devs building things through vibe coding type things (this is the "agency" component)
"you've been different, when's the last time you were happy?" right now :D
"how much of myself can i keep to myself?" hopefully nothing at all <3
"you're so distant, can you say that you've been happy?" YES!!!
