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

They should make Tony Hawk's Pro Figure Skater. I'd probable just spam triple axels to Motörhead though

I heard that in Haskell they like to do pun type shit

Saw a really big cat in the back yard!I

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

If Stranger Things happened in the 80s how are we only hearing about it now?

smh if Google would bother to put in the work, I feel they could get the GMail app to 1G by end of Q1. akr.am/blog/posts/w...

Here's a profile of running `bundle install` against the Gemfile in RubyGems.org. It's a "very cold" run, meaning I removed all caches and removed the Gemfile.lock: share.firefox.dev/4qKtRfL Trying to write a blog post about it, but struggling bc too much to write about 😭

First "you're muted" of the year 😌

Going back to work tomorrow and I can't wait to use the "feels like I haven't seen you since last year!" jokes. I am insufferable

Learning about LLMs makes me feel like an unk

Not to toot my own horn here, but I've been to the gym everyday this year

"64 ways to leave your lover"

Need to write a love song for programmers and call it "The Power of Two"

I quit playing Dave the Diver because I didn't want the game to end and I was worried I was close to the end. Picked it up again a few days ago and seems like I've got lots of game left 😭😭😭🙃🙃

Happy Holidays!

I don't know why but I keep getting sucked in to "people solving random math problems" videos on YouTube 😂

Bummer about this recipe is that it only makes one serving

Did some cat pics today

Made a cheesecake

Wish I had bought this book sooner. It's a vocabulary book, but uses sample phrases to help you memorize the words. Also the words and usages are very modern so it feels very helpful outside of studying for JLPT

I’m very honored and grateful. Rails has given me a lot, and giving back through open source has always felt like the natural response. Looking forward to continuing the work. ❤️ I wrote a short note on my blog: marcoroth.dev/posts/rails-...

I opened `Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network`. I guess Chrome really wants access to my local network 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey! I'm very excited to announce! We've got a brand new Programming Ruby 4.0 out just in time for the upcoming release: pragprog.com/titles/ruby6... Obviously this is a beta release (written off of RC2), but there will be a second beta right on the heels of the release next week.

House lost power today so now I'm getting scolded by my ps5 for something I didn't do
