Leadership change announced at Bluesky.

I think Jay Graeber's biggest accomplishment: she allowed the Bluesky engineering team to follow their hearts on what they saw as pursuing the best design. Not easy to do given all the other pressures in the role.

Best of luck with what's next, and I hope future leadership does the same.

Let that sink in?

And yes I've given plenty of critiques (including not always agreeing with those engineering decisions). But nonetheless I don't think giving the engineering team space to do what they thought was right has always been the easy thing to do, and I thought it was worth saying the positive thing here.

@cwebber sounds like IPO is the next step.
