It’s pretty terrifying how many people aren’t able to detect AI voices in content. I certainly have been fooled once or twice but there’s always a tell in the end. I wonder how much content I’ve watched where I haven’t known.

I think come Jan/Feb I’ll be looking for full time work again, most suited for senior / TL roles in Ruby on Rails companies. Would be very up for a first leadership role/cto in the right small company. Keep me in mind y’all ☺️ Pic of last night’s dinner for catching your attention.

Recommendations wanted for smart indoor air quality monitors, own my own data kind of thing, works offline.

I just uninstalled Claude cli. It’s like a gambling slot machine and I pull the lever and sometimes get the code that I want. But now my nd brain is really struggling to get out there and code for myself, and endlessly asking a tool to make changes doesn’t feel rewarding at all.

Stop buying games for your steam library until you’re actually going to play them. You’re just depreciating your money over time.

Some wonderful features in this release.

So there’s a new ruby discord. Was there an old one? Is there more drama?

This looks ace, can’t wait to have a play with it.

Having a go at lacto fermenting cucumbers. Had a good initial taste but then got left with some unpleasant bitter flavours. Any tips? www.instagram.com/p/DPTSPnkCDVm/ #fermentation

Anyone else feeling lethargic the last couple of days?

iPad OS 26 feels lovely to use with a trackpad, but a huge step backward for touch input. All the new stuff is just getting in the way, it takes longer to do anything.

Did anyone know that a lot of lead contamination in things is its use as a colour. That’s where it used to be used in Le Cruset pans. Turmeric has a problem with lead contamination and it’s because it’s being used illegally as a colouring agent.

Hive mind. Can you think of a reliable way to stop AI being able to scrape content published on a website. Are companies adhering to no crawl settings?

Been forced to use Microsoft 365 in recent days and the web experience is so awful. Especially with multiple editors at once. How is this considered the default? And no one who uses office seems to actually use the collaboration features. They’re sending copies of documents back and forward.

Delivery companies often claim you’re not in. What if their delivery app let you confirm you’re home and temporarily share your location data. They’d know you were home and it wouldn’t be a privacy issue since they have the address already. The answer is they probably don’t care 👀

Please use whatever tools make your life easier. If AI is one of those tools then go for it. I use it multiple times daily. To tone check. To proof read. To edit. To research. To code. To bounce ideas off of.

Just paid almost £7 for a bottle of water 🥲

How do we rank the chances that apples first folding phone will be the 17 and released alongside the 17se early next year? ‘Cause the pixel 10 fold with MagSafe is looking very tempting.

Working with Codex feels like outsourcing work to a junior engineer who's sometimes a bit drunk. Working with Claude feels like pairing with a Junior Engineer.

This legitimately feels like every tech job I’ve had. youtube.com/shorts/gnf2T...

All the shows in the world and I’m watching Lois and Clarke from 1993 😂

I’ve been coming very close to buying a Samsung z fold 7. Each review has been making me ask why I’m waiting so long for Apple to get around to it. My brand loyalty is waining.

"The message was clear: we will not be erased. Our existence is natural, historic and enduring". No matter how much transphobes may try and push their nasty little gc ideology, trans and non-binary individuals exist, have always existed and will always exist. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

60 people have already taken the quiz since we launched it yesterday. I wrote about some of the more interesting feedback we got. What do you do when your motivation is different at work, vs at home? rachel.pagecord.com/your-motivat...

I built this in 7 days in #rubyonrails – was a lot of fun! It’s using stimulus, Hotwire, Turbo, Phlex, and Literal

I'm pleased to announce the launch of www.motivationquiz.fun today You get personalised tips and insights to support your motivation in under 5 minutes. Totally free. I'd love to know what you think and if you find tools like this useful?

I might finally give Claude a go today. For some reason I thought it was the name of google’s AI which I know is silly because I know that’s called Gemini 😅

Nothing don’t necessarily have to tread new ground (though that would be nice). It’s a big market and it can just be enough to be a share of the market’s preferred look. Though I really want to see some new ideas in mobile phones.

It’s launched! Well to a single community to get early feedback from. If you’d like an early peek before general release drop me a dm!

Something I like about vibe coding is that when I’m too tired to code I’m not too tired to ask Codex to help me. Agentic coding has huge accessibility opportunities for people with brain fog and varying energy levels.

I didn’t quite make the demo and so by the time I finished I decided to delay this to tomorrow so I can put a little more polish in. Expect to hear about my new product in the morning!

If I post on discord and then people don’t AT me in the replies, I’ll probably forget I posted it. I’m off to check on a post I only just remembered. #adhd

Deploying a new app for the first time 30 minutes before I'm scheduled to demo it. This Is The Way #rubyonrails

If the rumours are true then in 14 months I'll be able to buy a book folding iPhone. I'm counting the days Apple, I'm counting them. And if you remove magsafe from it then you're dead to me.

I don't know who made this but 10/10.

I've started adding things like `# TODO: Codex please refactor this class` to my code so I can ask Codex: `Please search for and address any TODO comments in the code` What do you think?

In rails models have two helpful methods :signed_id, and :find_signed This is useful for giving trusted, temporary access to a record when you're not signed in. Authentication Zero uses it to create a passwordless login system. #rubyonrails

What do you think about delegated type as Rails’ solution to Multi Table Inheritance. Have you used it? What for? api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Acti... #rubyonrails

What are your opinions on using concerns over inheriting from base classes? #rubyonrails

I took four hours away from work to watch superman. I have regrets 😆

Do you prefer “small wins” or “everyday wins” to refer to small daily wins?

Life isn't just about big wins, in fact it's the small struggles we get through every day that add up pay the most dividends over the course of our lives. Celebrate your little wins, don't dismiss them. www.cammi.app/shared/wins/...

Spent most of the day coding myself, then when it came to making dinner I let Codex do the work and reviewed its PRs. I'm not convinced that spamming lots of PRs with Codex is a good idea, it ends up too difficult to keep track of them all, and I find I get equally bad ones for every good one.

It took me a long time and I had to work through a ton of anxiety and overwhelmed but I’m finally finally finally finally finally finally finally… www.cammi.app/shared/wins/... Being neurodivergent sometimes means seemingly simple things can take a time and a momentous effort.

Loving a lot of these UI blocks for Rails by @alexandruglv.bsky.social railsblocks.com

Are there any nice tools yet to microblog to Mastadon, Bluesky, and X in one go?

I’ve checked my emails multiple times and the first I knew that Twilio Sendgrid was retiring its free plan is errors in production. 🙁

i feel like theres a really niche discussion to be had about page layouts if the "main" body area should have an overflow: auto; and leave the <header> as is so it acts "sticky", without needing to actually be sticky. But then you get the issue of "using arrow keys to scroll on load" doesnt work.

Yes I cancelled my auto-renewal of game pass because you cancelled your auto renewal of lots of your staff @microsoft.com 👀

I had replies to a message I forgot I posted, which distracted me, and now I forgot why I came here…
