300 Passports left for RubyConf in Las Vegas. We also sent a few Romanian sweet treats.

YOLO

unfortunately I was not able to join @rubyconitaly.bsky.social this year, I had everything lined up even landed in Italy,but life has its ways and I had to leave for family reasons I followed remotely and am happy people had a good time congratulations to the organizers, speakers and the community

I'll be in Bucharest this Thursday evening. Any people want to meetup there?

me as i read 40% of what claude wrote back and type in “continue”

In Chrome go to `chrome://flags/#devtools-project-settings` and disable `DevTools Project Settings`. This will make Chrome stop accessing `/.well-known` paths and pollute your console output 😌

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?” “Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

A very special package is on its way from Bucharest! 🎁🤗 My friend @adrianthedev.com, founder of @avohq.io and architect of @therubypassport.com project, has prepped our Ruby passport shipment! Can’t wait to get our embassy set up and issue these to Rubyists at @blueridgeruby.com!

Something special happened last September. Our plushy seats hosted over 130 bright folks who came to see the happening which we call Friendly.rb. youtu.be/bUjVCueMaI0

Quick PSA: If you're an event organizer who wants the Ruby Passport at your event, get in touch with me at least one month in advance. These things take a while to get made and shipped your way. ✌️

Developer anxiety is actually a quality control mechanism. It makes us check edge cases and side effects. LLMs aren't dangerous because they're wrong, but because they're fearless. They write terrifying code with zero hesitation. Beware of what you approve. You are the only guardrail left.

I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

Another tip on closing <dialog>s involves the new `closedby` attribute. Putting `closedby="any"` on a <dialog> adds light-dismiss functionality to the dialog, meaning users can close the dialog with the Esc keyboard shortcut. #StylishHTML

In today's version of "Private Equity ruins everything" We find Stack Overflow introducing "AI Assist" meta.stackexchange.com/questions/41... Why you ask would a site built around "community" and "answers from real humans" would they throw that all away? Private Equity!

This is today! www.meetup.com/vienna-rb/ev... If you're in Vienna, come to say hi 👋🏻❤️ Mochi will be there, I'm bringing some Belgian speculoos and chocolate, and some mochi-stickers, of course 🍪🍫🐶🐾🥹

You know what I really like about the current trend of using LLMs to build software? We suddenly write down code design decisions, document architectural choices, and in general write more specs. Why? Because LLMs need clear context to generate useful code. This is a big win!

I never, EVER accept LLM output without making it run code to verify what it did (tests, something more manual, whatever). Neither you nor your LLM can run code in their head. Do not trust, always verify.

In case you missed the news - #Ruby 3.5 is going to become Ruby 4.0 to celebrate the 30th Ruby anniversary github.com/ruby/ruby/co... It's a bit odd to make such a decision only a month and half before the release (Christmas day), but it is how it is.

There’s actually a concept in information theory that formalizes this, called “data processing inequality”—which is “post-processing cannot increase information”. This is rather obviously true but if you’re interested there’s also mathematical proof:

“I have been asked, ‘Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’ I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.” — Charles Babbage (1864)
