I made this second account for a technical, English-speaking focus, but being on sabbatical and the tough Twitter→BlueSky move, I left it unused. The issue is that my main one is more personal, less technical, and mostly in Italian.

on’t get me wrong; I never had the slightest intention of becoming an “influencer,” even if I could (and honestly, I couldn’t, for many reasons). It’s just that I like to compartmentalize; that’s how my mind works best. I liked having a personal account and a separate work-related one.

It’s not just about language, but content. On former Twitter, my Italian account was for goofing off, nerdy takes, and thoughts on the language. The English one was mainly for tech—context-driven more than anything. Keeping things separate just made sense (some followed both).

I’d use this account more often if the Bluesky mobile app didn’t make switching profiles such a hassle. I already struggle to keep up with my other Italian account.

Find a cool product on Amazon? That company exists OFF Amazon, too. 1) Google company name. 2) Order from their site. 2a) Can usually find a 10% code! 3) Still get product in 2-8 days. 4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon. 5) You avoid giving money to Bezos.

Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.

Happiness comes from what you bring to the world, not what you take.

Can someone put us in touch with the creator of “Alfsky” to talk about if we can use / print their work? #atdesign

So jealous of the Open Kai Fang…! I mean, I have no idea what that is, but the business card is so cool.

Still thinking that the new Mozilla logo looks like an 8-bit Super Mario castle flag, though.
