Whoop whoop! A day after usingrails.com has been announced! Yeah, Ruby is dead, my ass

Not having kids can be a superpower (more money, time, and nerves, as any parent can surely confirm), but it also means fewer smiles and less pride over random daily convos like this one.

I woke up to being locked out of twitter, no idea why. Haven't done anything weird, as far as I can tell. No automation, no mass-actions or anything eyebrow-raising imo. After finishing the hardest CAPTCHA I ever saw, I was back in. However, my 'following' count dropped to

In addition to being locked out of twitter, this is what I see when trying to load my slack workspace (in a browser) I'm wondering if this is something weird on the network level (ie my ISP being seen as a malicious actor). I'm not using a VPN and not (intentionally, that I know

If anyone can answer this, it's SQLite Jesus, A-bit-of-everything Jesus, and kick-ass Adrien-Jesus (ran out of analogies, sue me 😅). Adrien runs rubyvideo.dev with speeds that'd make The Flash jealous and features that'll make your regular sites look like cave

Don't rate my (cheap) setup. 2020 Macbook Air M1: $900 Dell U2723QE UltraSharp 27" 4K UHD: $440 Working in 👕🩳 on the terrace. During autumn. In Europe: Priceless About to start a Story Starter deep work session. Highly recommended - the best online community I ever joined!

"Rails is technical debt" - agreed. But so is every bit of code written in any language, from punchcards to LOLCODE to TypeScript. That's just the way of the code - it starts bitrotting the moment it leaves your keyboard, like a banana you forgot in your gym bag. It's due to a

Finally, someone gets it (what's more: been there, done that, documented everything for the rest of us). I'm sitting here, jaw on the floor, wondering how all these other devs attacking him and going on endless rants defending AWS and other cloud technologies haven't realized

Holy shit, I just realized I've been ghosting Twitter harder than my gym membership. Over a month of silence! While everyone was losing their shit over Elon's Twitter takeover like it was Y2K 2.0, I was sitting here like that dog in the burning house meme, sipping coffee and

Just the usual friendly git-related banter with Claude

You know you've really fucked up when Claude goes full Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and starts handing out towels. 🤦

O2 created human-like AI ‘Granny’ to answer calls in real time from fraudsters, keeping them on the phone and away from customers for as long as possible. Finally, an AI that sparks joy instead of existential dread!

I think that I might have a neat idea for something at a #Ruby / #Rails #conference that people might talk about. To do that I'd need someone to #sponsor this. So please share this so that folks who might want have visibility at a Ruby/Rails #conf see this. #followerpower

You know things are not going great when Claude completely loses it... "This is some Ruby string comparison bullshit." 😆

FML Heroku down - app is up and running, but other than that: - nothing from the CLI, other than logout, works (hey, thx for nothing) - dashboard inaccessible - support inaccessible - status page either down, or reports that everything is up and running 🙃 tl;dr: shit's on

Same effect as 'Accept' everywhere else - yet, such a small touch signals "Maybe, just maybe, these guys are artisans if they are sweating even the boring stuff". Or maybe I'm just so disgruntled with AI slop that even a small thing like this feels like a breath of fresh air...
