Now I can see how we got here from a UX perspective: the founding principle of the internet (decentralization) was/is a nice idea, but in practice, we couldn't expect the general public to code and maintain their own websites. CLI, HTML, and CSS were confusing and evolving, and we couldn’t expect normal people to follow along.

@purism are there any plans to upgrade this server now that Mastodon v4 is out? I'm trying to decide if I should stay here or move to a different server

@zenfant@mastodo.fi ahhh right thats the other one I keep hearing about. Are the bugs that bad?

@marcus_thesmith so far the only clear line that I can really articulate is that we don't touch anything after the BFF (Backend for FrontEnd). I guess thinking about it we're responsible for all the public resources that users interact with.

We are not "really" responsible for the hosting or deployment per se but we do manage those build processes that create the deployed artifacts.

@MALPI we think in JavaScript not Go 😉

We have a separate SRE team who manages K8s and does all of the things that are traditionally associated with SRE work.

@mahmoudajawad I have purposely not shared what we call ourselves named us because I don't want to bias any answers but I can share that I lovingly refer to us as "Team Platypus" 😄

ok I know there are a lot of and people on here these days so I'm hoping that I get a few good answers around this:

What do you call a team that is focused on the web side of the platform? My team is focused on the meta structure of a large web app and responsible for the overall "web platform" (how it builds, perf, monitoring) choices.

We're definitely not the SRE team, but we're also not a traditional product team. What would you call us?

@danirabbit I posted a poll that I expected like 50 votes in and now it's got 4.4k boosts and I'm up 300 followers. WTF how is that possible on here?

I have stopped
the microservices
that were in
the infrastructure

and which
you were probably
using
for authentication

Forgive me
they were 1000+
so many
and so wasteful

@brianleroux I know Deno natively handles TypeScript but does it now handle JSX too?

Brian LeRoux 💚  

new Deno works well with the npm packages that I tested

its been a looooong time coming but this could mark a reason to evaluate switching our backend for real
