this fall I worked with the core Git folks on writing an official data model for Git and it just got merged! I learned a few new things from writing it. https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/gitdatamodel.adoc

Giving it a go doing @ericwastl awesome #adventofcode , so far 2 for 2 with getting it completed. Using #ruby right now...but might need to try something out also. How's everyone solving the problems this year?

Sometimes I'm happy to be the only one in my house who loves kimchi but when I make too much kimchi jjigae it isn't one of those times 😅

A coworker showed me https://everynoise.com/ website and it is kinda my favorite thing right now. Also the reason I discovered some ancient Mediterranean music and am now listening to Michael Atherton's Ankh: The Sound of Ancient Egypt

So are code comments making a comeback because of coding agents? Because my goodness do agents LOVE comments.

Photo wrap up from @rockymtnruby, it was a blast. I am thankful to be back home, but it was a great experience to catch up with so much of the #ruby community! #rockymtnruby @DRBragg #rubyfriends

And that's an end @rockymtnruby it's been great! Let me know if I missed your tag! #rubyfriends @DRBragg @baweaver @afomera

Some new Ruby friends!! #rubyfriends @baweaver Scott, Max, and Tyler! Ready to kick off @rockymtnruby 2025 tomorrow 🙌

On my way, see you soon #boulder for my first @rockymtnruby

My coworker figured out that Claude takes feedback pretty well :D

So excited to head to Boulder for this! https://ruby.social/@rockymtnruby/115095674107339197

The many faces of Mango... He's too darn photogenic #catsofmastodon #orangecat

Hey there Ruby social friends...and if I have other dev friends too 👋 I am going to be heading to a conference in the next month and I am doing some informal polling on AI usage. If you are a Ruby developer and use AI, would you mind filling out this quick survey 🥺🙏🏻 […]

Ahh the things that make you chuckle on Friday, instead of typing `git add` I just typed `git ass` 😁

I did an accidently phoenix theme with my last two reads, The Incandescent and The Phoenix Keeper. Both nice, but enjoyed Emily Tesh's more. Probably because it was actually nice to have a fantasy book with a 38 year old main character

I am still enjoying this quiz even though I am failing hard at knowing what is a valid email address. What is considered a valid email address is bizarre! https://e-mail.wtf/

Claude likes my git aliases ☺️

oh, you asked an LLM? well we posted an offhand question on mastodon and an autistic cat-type entity infodumped to us about it

Update on my #gateron #smoothie switches. I love them, I have really been digging the linear feel and the creamy sound is pretty soothing on the ears. I added some foam backing to kind of amp it up. But the keyboard sound does come through my mic during pairing sessions a bit.

If you didn't check out @jimlawless Stray Pointers podcast because you were hoping there was a video, well this one is for you! https://fosstodon.org/@jimlawless/114746829448424557

Instrument #synthwave is my new work jam. I don't know who Alan is but thank you for this playlist https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/ee02fa764b244e3e92dbce57c4eda997m12x?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_nXUL8aISKBqvcQOTFeLpIUIj5

🎶 Hey #omaha, join Orchestra Omaha for a FREE Outdoor Concert! 🎮🎸 We are kicking off the summer with Video Games Killed the Radio Star: Part Deux —Think Super Mario, Zelda, Undertale, Journey, and more — all live with a full orchestra! 📍 Gene Leahy Mall Performance Pavilion (downtown Omaha) 📅 […]

Hey #tmux it would be really great if you could yell at me to stop attempting to use tmux commands when I am not in a tmux session. Yea that would be great. Kinda like "Hey idiot, it doesn't matter how many times you hit your prefix, I can't move to the next window when you literally don't have […]

I only have half my switches changed out because I was trying to do one row at a time and now I can REALLY hear the difference with these new gateron smoothie switches + IXPE foam. #mechanical #keyboard

How would folks go about adding a way to switch between dark/light mode in their #terminal emulator? Or would it be the #shell? I just want an easy way to switch in my #alacritty terminal to switch to a light mode theme and then go back to a dark theme?

annnnnd now I am going down a mechanical keyboard switch blackhole. Do I NEED new switches but now I WANT them 😁 #mechanicalkeyboard

This is your reminder pet owners/mechanical keyboard owners...spring cleaning is here and you probably have an excess of pet hair that needs to be cleaned out of your keyboard! #springcleaning #mechanicalkeyboard

Ah yep, Omaha got the snow #omaha #snow

Go home March, you crazy 🤪 Yea... seems about correct for "spring" #omaha #weather #nebraska

Happy #caturday, my orange boy is currently rolling in the nip, will report back on this goes #catsofmastodon #orangecat

I definitely had deck builder dreams, gotta cut off Slay the Spire closer to bed time 😵‍💫

Docker, just a heads up it is 2025 and "this year" probably doesn't refer to 2023. Also if you have email links that are supposed to go to a infographic, please don't make me search through your resource library...just show me the picture.

I'm "oh my birthday is actually this weekend and I forgot" years old...and add one more to that number on Sunday 😜

#caturday with orange boy Mango who usually isn't snuggly at all but here he is being snuggled with my kiddo #catsofmastodon #cat

Flying tomorrow...on Delta... Not at all worried about that choice right now 😬

It took me years to know the difference! If you are just new to tech or maybe it isn't your jam knowing those little differences, that is ok, you can get things to work just fine calling it all a terminal. https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/113980178532629128

Trying to find a MacBook pro cover and I think this might be one of my favorite copy bloopers, "apple-sauced" instead of "apple-sourced"

Me on Mastodon #viral

Behind every senior engineer confidently telling you how to fix something is a bug. That they caused and needed to scramble to correct 😄

I, for one, am very much looking forward to Sunday. Big fan of #superb_owl. I see that some people misspell it as #super_bowl, but that's ok. You can still enjoy owl pics with the rest of us 🦉

Phew, January went quick! I can't believe it has been 1 month into working for a new company. And now as a working parent with school age kiddo comes the struggle, figuring out summer care 😣

Because I CAN'T just go by the book, I am making work for myself that no one asked me to do... because learning. So I am working through Effective Testing with #rspec 3 with the @wnb_rb bookclub, but it uses #sinatra which is a perfectly nice, very easy to use framework. And I just wanted to […]

Started up a #StoryGraph challenge, aimed at engineers who want to level up! There were a couple book that really influenced me as a staff engineer, and I adde them here: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/2c03c720-5dc5-4c1b-9485-2ecfd7288957

Why is #ruby so sweet to program in? Why syntactic sugar of course 😘

A good reason to put away your laundry #catsofmastodon #naptime

RIP my pixel 4a, it was 5 years old and I don't think I have gotten that sort of lifespan out of a phone since my college nokia 8310 candy bar.
