Therapist: "And how do you process stress?" Me, looking at a fresh tattoo I gave myself at 11:47pm on a Wednesday: "Define process."

Inspired by a real story

🎙️ New Remote Ruby episode Rails World tickets, Aube by @jdx.dev , and the RubyGems security incident. www.remoteruby.com/2260490/epis...

🎙️ Remote Ruby: Blue Ridge Ruby Insights & Experiences @davidhill.dev recaps Blue Ridge Ruby, open source motivation, and why smaller Ruby conferences lead to better hallway conversations and lightning talks. We also get into Rails + Stripe lessons. ⬇️ Link below ⬇️

People keep talking like AI is inevitable. Idk man. It’s not going great and we haven’t even entirely forgotten how to code yet.

Nothing makes you reflect on your career choices like knowing you'll be debugging Stripe webhooks before sleeping in a regional airport hallway shortly.

Bridgetown 2.2 "Verdant River City" is out! It's a springtime bloom of new features: - Wikilinks in Markdown - Support for Falcon, the highly concurrent Ruby web application server - New sponsorship opportunities - Sneak peak at the Bridgetown Center program 👀 www.bridgetownrb.com/release/ever...

I am sponsoring Bridgetown and you should too. www.bridgetownrb.com/sponsor

very unrelated but do you have a moment to about our Lord and Savior, Dungeon Crawler Carl?

I did not expect Carl singing "Take On Me" to be my favorite part of "A Parade of Horribles" (so far)

Actually building an app tonight instead of just thinking about it.

🎙️ New Remote Ruby episode We discussed: - preserving Active Storage uploads across failed form submissions - image variant processing tradeoffs - Sidekiq queue priority strategy - Stripe's merchant-of-record push and billing changes www.buzzsprout.com/2260490/epis...

If you love Claude you'll really love meth

AVS STORM BACK FROM DOWN 0-3 TO ADVANCE TO THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS 🔥

pack it up internet, this is the best skeet on this site.

The "do not cross" sign at the Grand Canyon is actually more of a personality test.

Ruby 4.0.4 Released www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2026... This is a routine update that includes bugfixes. We recommend upgrading your Ruby version at your earliest convenience.

*me trying to explain my Stripe problems to my date in the Uber after leaving the bars*

Rails developers in 2026: - Claude writes the feature - Codex reviews the PR - Copilot writes the PR description - Senior engineer spends 2 hours figuring out which callback deleted the record

🏜️

@andrewm.codes has a solution to doing both (that I do not recommend but the juxtaposition was amusing)

Nice weather lately but idk why you’d rather be outdoors, I love reviewing this slop

It's not just you. You come by it honestly. The brokenness inside you. You can fill your life with coding agents, evals, and skills. But it won’t make you whole. You're an engineer watching Claude rewrite the same spec for the fourth time whispering "it’s cooking now." There’s no cure for that.

Tailscaling into your desktop from your iPhone at midnight to approve Claude Code using awk while you're supposed to be dancing with your date should be in the first chapter of the DSM-6

Back on my adventure grind

Paying your housekeeper to come over but still panic-cleaning first is what childhood conditioning looks like in adulthood

Millennials when Heads Will Roll starts playing

SEBASTIAN AHO PUTS THE HURRICANES UP 2 😤 Watch Senators-Hurricanes NOW on ESPN2 and the ESPN App 🏒

They don’t call us the Loudest House in the NHL for nothin 😤 God, I fucking love playoff hockey #letsgocanes

couldn't find a meme that fit once I saw this post, so I made my own. i am not sure i would want the recognition that comes with a ruby central sponsorship, they have provided no evidence that they actually are helping to invest in the ruby community future over their own.

LET'S GO.
