The post has some stereotypes, but essentially there's truth there. A good novel takes you to other places, in a broad sense of the word. And that is an experience in itself. (Reading "The Temple of the Golden Pavillion" these days, after my trip to Japan.)

Excited for this session with the factory_bot maintainers in ~an hour and a half! (11am EST) Right now we’re exploring regular expressions. Join us: thoughtbot.com/events/open-...

It's time for the Opening Keynote of thoughtbot Open Summit! This will be immediately followed by Tim Riley of Hanami and then we're off to the races with live coding sessions. Learn how to log in to the event and our Discord. It's open and free to all: thoughtbot.com/events/open-...

thoughtbot’s Open Summit has started and I’ll be speaking on Hanami in 20 minutes! Here’s the link if you just want to drop in: us02web.zoom.us/j/87946598627

For those of y'all in APAC or awake rn, the @thoughtbot.com Open Summit is kicking off NOW! So excited! Lots of great sessions, including @timriley.info of Hanami shortly, factory_bot maintainers, @tonsoffun.bsky.social of Active Agent, & more! 🤩 See you there: thoughtbot.com/events/open-...

Ready for #RubyWorld! 行きましょう！

It’s my remote work anniversary! 🔟 years ago this week, I quit my job, booked a spontaneous solo trip to Santorini 🇬🇷, and basically never worked in an office again.

What’s the best place to donate old phones, laptops, and other electronics? Was thinking maybe a DV shelter or other org that helps women get back on their feet or restart their careers? Want to make sure they go to folks who could really use them.

In 2025 we need philosophical attitude more than ever: being calm, thoughtful and meaningful. I want to be that kind of person. In this complex era, I want to dig into things, talk with people, think about problems and make decisions. I want to be communicative, respectful and free.

Another feature shipping in the upcoming Herb v0.8.0 release is the ability to disable specific linter rules using comments. The Herb Language Server will also include Quick Fix Code Actions to make disabling rules effortless. 🌿

Today is the last day to grab a GA ticket for SF Ruby! Read our new blog post for a preview: evilmartians.com/chronicles/w...

We invite you and your team to join us for our virtual event on Oct 31st, where we'll be exploring frameworks for AI in Rails, discussing best practices and coding live. And we'll be joined by @tonsoffun.bsky.social! Sign up now to secure your free ticket: thoughtbot.com/events/open-...

Can’t wait to see @tonsoffun.bsky.social demo @activeagents.ai with Chad at thoughtbot Open Summit! Oct 31! 😎 Be sure to sign up and grab your free ticket!

Ruby and Rails are great for building AI features. At thoughtbot Open Summit, we want to help dev teams unlock the full potential of Rails for AI, because we believe Rails is tailor-made for working with external services like LLMs.

I’m taking an hour-long Japanese language class every day for the next 7 days. Interested to see how my conversational Japanese will be after a week. いきましょう‼️

When people complain Shopify is too prominent, only main company donor in RC, etc. WTF folks. As if that was their choice! Where are the other companies pushing Ruby and Rails with real money and resources to be on par? Talk is cheap.

When it comes to Japan's APA Hotels, you can’t separate the man from his creation. The founder’s extreme political views and aggressive business tactics have significantly shaped the hotel’s image, adding a complex new layer to its identity and branding.

The Japanese parent company of 7-Eleven is betting billions of dollars that it can expand its business in the U.S. by making its convenience stores more like the food meccas they are in Japan. nyti.ms/3KTwGve

So glad I grew up in the 90s with parents who were too busy to force me to be supervised at all times. Exploring my neighborhood solo was such a joy and blessing.

Being burnt out + not having access to my adhd meds for weeks is such an abysmal combo. 💀

Waking up to more Ruby drama makes me feel sad and tired. I wish folks could come to the table in a more humble and reconciliatory fashion. Is that even possible at this point? Maybe not…

"One of the reasons I like programming is because it's logical. It's predictable." "LLMs are not predictable. You can use the exact same prompt and can get a different response every single time" I feel the same way and this is why I don't understand the appeal www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZUk...

My mom was kind enough to let me know about @sfruby.com 😅

Marty and I had a great chat with Irina Nazarova about the upcoming SFRuby conference and meetups. www.buzzsprout.com/2509083/epis...

Friends, this is our new account for all things SF Ruby!

We did it!! 🥹👏

For over 20 years, thoughtbot has helped shape the Ruby on Rails ecosystem. From building OSS tools like factory_bot to frameworks like Administrate and Superglue, our team has worked in the open to make Rails stronger and more resilient. thoughtbot Open Summit is about continuing that story...

Here's a coupon for $50 off the admission fee for SF Ruby (sfruby.com) luma.com/sfrubyconf20... I'll be doing a workshop on Dynamic Ruby, and even if you don't want to see that, there is a full slate of great speakers -- I'd love to see you there.

Went from #SFRuby to a bar nearby 🍷 to my house to pick up luggage to SFO ✈️ to Minneapolis and now heading to Baltimore (all in under 12 hours 🤣)

It's incredible how this whole thing has cut to literally every important cultural and political question in OSS. These are the big questions, the values you build communities around. We should be clear about the things we believe. We coasted on the status quo and differences are now clear.

Lovely words from @inazarova.bsky.social at tonight’s #SFRuby ❤️

"If every US vehicle performed like Waymo, we’d prevent 33,000-39,000 deaths annually and save $0.9-1.25 trillion in societal costs... We’re looking at the potential elimination of traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality." www.linkedin.com/posts/slotki...
