Why am I thinking about dipping back into Mastodon and Bluesky? I’ve been away for six or seven (!) months and it’s been good. I feel a bit like I’d like I’m curious if I could do it in a way that would only be a fifteen-minute commitment each week. I have doubts, but I suppose then I could just eject again.
Hmm…I think I’ll resist a bit more.
How Everest Has Changed Since Into Thin Air (archive):
When I climbed to the summit of Everest in May 1996, I was only the 621st person to arrive there since the mountain was first summited, in May 1953. During the 30 years following my ascent, Everest was climbed approximately 13,000 times.

We were about to launch Pika Pulse this week. We had a lengthy meeting to talk about what we'd do in this or that situation. We decided that we needed to keep iterating on our guardrails and language for setting expectations.
We have some time off and life things coming up, so we also don't want to push things out right before those events happen. This means Pulse is probably somewhere around six weeks away from being released. It's going to be interesting if all this care and concern ends up not really helping. Or if it ends up being unnecessary. It'll probably be somewhere, hopefully sanely, in the middle.
