Earthquake happened here and I am shook

With the new job, I didn't get much time or energy to blog lately, but I figured I'd use the various downtime while traveling to Ruby Kaigi to write about some of the things I worked on recently: byroot.github.io/ruby/perform...

It's just a proof of concept, but this is how I wish Rust extensions for Ruby were written: github.com/tenderworks/...

Everybody keeps telling me to get out of my comfort zone but I get out of my comfort zone everyday when I get out of bed

Are F1 racers allowed to use different keys? Or they can only use F1?

I kind of miss seeing the "Free Public WiFi" hotspot

Updated the firmware on my power brick via Bluetooth so that it can have better AI charging 🙃🫣

I've beaten Absolum four times now, so I decided to try Streets of Rage 4 again, and Absolum is way better. SoR4 controls and combos are way too hard for me

I feel like a lot of people are Doom scrolling, but I'm more of a Quake person myself

I bought an instax printer and it's very fun!

I heard there's a new drug that biohackers are taking for heartburn: Peptide AC

I guess the people who prefer MCP servers think this is a Skills issue?

I went to the Link Light Rail opening over the weekend. I wanted to see the ribbon cutting, but this was the best view I could get 😂

I'm not sure why people are so concerned about test anti-patterns. Do anti-patterns even require tests in the first place?

I did the coding font game and ended up selecting the font I already use (Inconsolata) 😂 www.codingfont.com

Bought Absolum. I was like "I'll just play this for like 20min" and then 5 hours later "oops"

Me, makes a mistake translating, realizing it two seconds later: "Guess I'll never forget that word now" 🫣

Not every sponsorship looks the same, and it shouldn’t. Ruby Central offers options from headline visibility to wifi, social events, or the Scholars and Guides program. Align your sponsorship with what matters to your company. Let’s talk: calendly.com/tom-rubyconf...

So excited for Dorohedoro season 2! Really didn't think Netflix would renew it

I heard that in the south they don't call it k-pop, they call it k-soda

Bought a star filter. It's over the top but I think it's fun!!

It's wild we're still measuring process RSS when I feel like Atom has way better features

Since token prices are so subsidized by VC right now, I was thinking of starting a company to hoard them and sell them at a later date. Thinking of calling the company "Enron"? Or "Aaronron"?

Another RubyConf theme: Beautiful Ruby. Ruby was designed to feel natural—simple on the surface, powerful underneath. Explore abstraction, modularity, and elegant design that makes code joyful to maintain. CFP open: rubyconf.org

Had a visitor in the back yard today!

Serving Rails over QUIC/HTTP3 is Kantan?

Clicked "show fewer shorts" and now YouTube is just showing me shorts about pants. jfc

I guess I'm late to the party but I didn't know Shorsey played curling

I've been flailing my arms around a lot lately because I'm trying to be gesturemaxxing

Heard on NPR this morning: "do you need to be fibermaxxing?"

At The Container Store?

Not sure why people dislike big box stores so much. Where else you can buy big boxes?

What's up with all of these "complete your signup" emails?

My inner voice always pronounces "git init" with a British accent: "git, innit?"

Wild that we're going to get Seattle and Bellevue connected by rail before gta6

Wow, I made a huge mistake. Bought a book from Routledge because they said it came in EPUB format. Turns out what they mean is that it doesn't come in EPUB format and you have to download a proprietary ebook reader. ffs

"Is Ruby dying?" is acting as a self-fulfilling prophecy. We need to stop treating this question seriously. (Stream rant from 1/11)

Wanna feel old? Great, me neither
