  Hi everyone! Welcome to another Bridgy Fed status update. Since last time, we’ve been focusing on a big new project that we’re almost ready to start beta testing, but we also managed to ship some smaller features and improvements: From the Atmosphere: Support posts with link embed but no text Improve account deactivation/delete handling Fix missed profile updates when you make more than one in a row To the Atmosphere: link previews for bsky.app links From the fediverse: handle pinned posts i...

  Apologies all, we had a bit of downtime this morning due to a network partition at our host. Bridging out of the Atmosphere (Bluesky) was down for roughly 1h, 7:45-8:45a PT (14:45-15:45 UTC), and bridging into the Atmosphere was also down for roughly 1h, 8:25-9:25a PT (15:25-16:25 UTC). Sorry for the outage. We have a couple concrete plans for how we can improve our fault tolerance and resilience to network partitions and issues like this in the future. Thank you for your patience with us!

  …this produces what I will call the AI Developer’s Descent Into Madness: Whoa, I produced this prototype so fast! I have super powers! This prototype is getting buggy. I’ll tell the AI to fix the bugs. Hmm, every change now causes as many new bugs as it fixes. Aha! But if I have an AI agent also review the code, it can find its own bugs! Wait, why am I personally passing data back and forth between agents I need an agent framework I can have my agent write an agent framework! Return to step...
