Just had to full sprint through CLT to catch my connection and still almost missed it

Woke up in CLT. One more flight for the day.

I wish I could put into words the experience I just had at a bar in PHX, but I simply can't. Highlights: - Listened to a 45 minute phone call - Met my future wife - Gossiped about the phone call - Heard someone scream for a manager IRL - Saw something, almost said something - TSA pulled a gun

Stepping into the airport with that "who should I be tonight" energy

Taking a red-eye flight tonight, so here’s my dilemma: 1. Attempt to nap this afternoon. 2. Stay awake and hope to catch an hour or two of sleep during the flight. 3. Go to bed at my usual time and wake up at midnight when I have to leave the house.

Missing AMS today

80° and sunny in PHX today. Just a friendly reminder that I made the right decision when it came to choosing a home.

Getting a lesson in "aura" from my younger brother was a real wakeup call to my advancing age.

I'm not doing enough work to feel this burnt out.

I've truly been a cowboy coder since birth.

I realized "Can I get your number?" died in the night and got replaced by "What’s your Instagram?" So…I had to make a new one. Come say hi: www.instagram.com/andrewmcodes

I'm ready to jump out of another plane.

SF traffic was interesting. 🤔

Bringing a rotisserie chicken on an airplane is diabolical

so high I'm wondering where the day go

Beauty is just erosion that learned how to wait.

I keep this Polaroid on my fridge as proof that I've done impossible things before.

Huge thanks to @marcoroth.dev for joining our @xoruby.com Austin program last minute. There were lots of eye opened in the room about how far Herb has come. 👏

When it rains in Phoenix, you can immediately tell who lives here year-round and who’s visiting. Locals step outside, fold their arms, and start aura farming as the raindrops fall.

Happy #Battlefield6 Release Weekend!!

New Remote Ruby episode is out! With @excid3.com on paternity leave, I brought in @drbragg.dev and @chaelcodes.bsky.social to unpack the recent controversies surrounding Ruby Central and its control over RubyGems and Bundler. www.buzzsprout.com/2260490/epis...

This is by far the most sensible take ever since all this mess started. Glad there are still some people capable making the difference between unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and proper reporting of facts. Thank you ❤️

This shouldn't need to be said but...
