The shoestrings game apparently has now morphed into running and hiding from shoestrings.

“The only reason the system hasn’t already collapsed is that the mission-driven staffers who remain are each doing the work of five people. They are holding Social Security together with shoestrings and chewing gum— but they can’t do it forever.”
No we can’t. We really can’t. 💔💔💔

Who could have predicted that a DOJ led by Pam Bondi could turn into 100% trash held together by shoestrings and imagination. Just a disgraced, shabby institution at this point.

Me pulling myself up by my cismale, ablebodied, middle-classed, anti-gravity shoestrings
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

And we did it by tying our boots together, sometimes with shoestrings that emerged from the inside of a boot that was already tied

Imagine being the first artist in history to have your rap battle L cemented in a federal court opinion. 😭
Judge Vargas literally wrote that “‘Not Like Us’ dealt the metaphorical killing blow.”
Bro didn’t just lose the beef — he made it legally binding.
Take his shoestrings. 💀👟

This is true for Bluesky and all kinds of Fediverse projects as well. The new networks are trying so hard to build themselves, but they're running on shoestrings and their devs' frayed nerves. Totally reasonable to argue about priorities, but hard feature triage is unavoidable.
It amazes me when people keep saying "I can't believe Bluesky doesn't have "[insert favorite feature]" yet" without recognizing how much the team has done in a short time while making the app functional, and then continually adding in each "missing" feature.
Paul solo-shipping the entire app while thousands of people began joining last year was probably one of the most extreme situations a developer could be thrown into, I'm not sure if most people understand. Last April, the entire team was... 8? Six devs. We were all losing our minds.
