I will say this about the fediverse: it’s not the kind of place where a company or someone still working there will post “We’re expanding and hiring!” just a few months after it laid off 75% of its staff. Small mercies.

@sean @deadsuperhero It’s not quite connected enough yet… bit frustrating, as I would like to do more with my Ghost blog on the fediverse.

Happy Birthday to Alan Turing, who was born on this day in 1912. Alan Turing introduced the concept of the universal computing machine, showing that a single machine could perform any computation that can be described by an algorithm. The ACM A.M. Turing Award was named in his honor.

This is Tyler Fischer, the solo builder behind Sill, and one of the Excellence Award Winners of the #OpenSocialAwards 🏆

We really do use Sill everyday for finding widely-shared links from Bluesky and Mastodon. It’s an incredibly useful tool that defies the algorithms, ads, and feeds of traditional social media.

@dansup @tchambers I read this nodding, because it’s the exact same experience I have as an indie media operator — it’s so hard getting anything new off the ground these days.

My latest newsletter -> This week's market signals suggest the conversation is moving beyond AI models and toward enterprise infrastructure.

AWS + Adobe are using MCP to connect enterprise agents, Vercel has launched its eve framework, Okta has published an agent identity roadmap, and Google has proposed an open discovery layer.

Together they point to the emergence of an enterprise agent stack.

The agent stack is becoming enterprise infrastructure

From agent frameworks and MCP integrations to identity governance and open discovery, this week’s market signals show the agent stack rapidly gaining adoption in the enterprise.
