Tonight in tires news: both my bike and my car have a flat tire. I’m one elevator stop short of calling sabotage.

The tools we use shape the way we think. Put Slack aside.

Self-righteous shit stirrers and prideful fuel-pourers. Dividing times indeed. 💔

Icon groups being their own floating islands in the toolbar of macOS 26's windows is super annoying.

If you use Microsoft Teams, I am legally allowed to despise you. And I will.

"I let my principles get in the way of things. I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish." Channel 4 aired the first episode of 'Spaced' on this day in 1999.

Sorry not sorry people who want to make this one-dimensional: that includes Ruby / Rails maintainers at Shopify. Please let's not turn OSS into an environment where we assume malice based on your present or past employers. This happened on Homebrew while at GitHub, was 100% untrue and felt awful.

Some people sure like to stir shit and FUD.

#euruko might be over for this year but tiny ruby #​{conf} is still ahead!

The new Paradise Lost, “Ascension”, is very good, and heavy as fuck. I was not, however, expecting a Judas Priest chorus hidden in one of its songs.

I learned to code before LLMs. Not well before, but enough. Feels like I dodged a serious bullet. #llms #code #dev

Slack is not a way to work.

When considering any incident it is valuable to consider all perspectives and remember that at the end of the day we all love ruby and want it to succeed. apiguy.substack.com/p/a-board-me...

You know you’re getting old and possibly jaded when you can related to every song of any Chris Isaak album.

Truth is they're all hell holes. Read books and reputable journalism (if you can find it), And blogs, obvs.

Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take: - RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

EuRuKo 2026 is happening in Brno, Czech Republic next year! #euruko #euruko2025 #euruko2026 @euruko.org

Listening to Eileen Uchitelle’s keynote about the importance of communication between people (I’m simplifying) while keeping track of the Ruby Central miscommunication drama is a bit sad.

It’s so nice to see José Valim attend or speak at Ruby conferences, like today at #EuRuKo.

HOLY SHIT THERE WAS ONCE A POWER RANGERS / TMNT CROSSOVER?

Watching the lightning talks at #EuRuKo, I’m reminded that even though I love super cool speakers who own the stage with their fluency, confidence and energy, I have a real fondness and admiration for the shy, stiff, uncomfortable (if not terrified) ones, who dare to take the stage out of passion.

I’m an AI skeptic, but Carmine’s talk on RubyLLM at #EuRuKo is super exciting. And the Ruby code snippets are 💯.

After close study, I can confidently say that the Portuguese seagulls are way friendlier than the Swedish ones.

"Now is time to bring the same care for the view layer" - @marcoroth.com

Once again, Matz’ keynote (at #EuRuKo this time) was not only inspiring and insightful, it was also uplifting and actually got me bit emotional.

On the plane to #EuRuKo, I watched Fast & Furious, which I had never seen. After only 15 minutes, I had already soaked up so much testosterone that my facial hair upgraded from that of a 12 year old to that of a 13 year old.

The “autoplay” feature of the Music app is very annoying.

I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here?

This overnight oats is not great.

Yep, US Reichstag all right.

I really had a blast at Rails World. Amanda & crew can never get enough praises for pulling such a great event. However it ended up on a bit of a sour note for me as I'll most likely won't go to Austin next year. 1/9

i'm working on an idea for a talk about LORE — risks, benefits, etc. — and finally found the perfect title THE LORE IS LAVA

Because you're never out of software to hate, I want to say that Miro is also on my shit list.

Another favorite of mine. So good. Don’t miss it.

One of my favorite talks of Rails World. Highly recommended.

"So are you going to visit 221b Baker St or 9 3/4?" "No. We're visiting sites of real history & not pop culture made-up places." "Like where?" "33 Golden Sq where our Cthulhu by Gaslight characters lived, Cleopatra's Needle where we met Nyarlathotep, & the top of St Paul's where we saved the world."

One Second/Host/Believe in Nothing, what an incredible series of albums. A trilogy of craftsmanship that few bands have managed to achieve.

Followers: watch this and get excited. (Also the name of my sex tape)

From time to time I realize how unfit I am for this world. And it’s the world who’s to blame.

Idiot me managed to forget his phone in the Uber that dropped him at the airport. Meaning that I had to experience living offline (and traveling abroad) for 24 hours. It was actually a great experience. (But for the “losing an expensive device” part.)

There's two arms you could break How low can you descend Approach the subject kindly You've chosen to defend

Aaaand it’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who made @friendlyrb.com possible and to all the equally friendly folks who attended the conference. It’s been a blast. Already looking forward to meeting you again at future Ruby-centered gatherings! 👏🏻 #friendlyrb

Shout out to @friendlyrb.com on setting the benchmark on organizing a local, cozy, friendly Ruby conference. What a great team!

Grift, grift, grift, and snake oil.

A cheap imitation of Metrostile is a good fit for a cheap TED talk.

Let’s abstract @lucianghinda.com away. AB cuts right to the chase at #friendlyrb. (I may be simplifying.)

I miss my dog.
