After years of growing Bluesky into what it is today, I now have space to go deep on what comes next. I personally recruited Toni to take the reins so I could go back to building something new, and his first week here has only validated that choice.
Super congratulations, queen!
Jay is the reason Bluesky exists and has gotten to where it is today - thank you!
