This is genuinely incredible! Reactivity like React for humans, and simple, clean html for agents and low-bandwidth users.

Thank you so much!! I lost BlueSky to age verification nonsense in Texas. This was the last notification I got and it's such a nice one. :)

I think they would love this. It's about $120 + $30 per DVD, so about 7/8 months of Disney+.

Do they still sell DVDs? 😂 And I balance a tablet on the edge of the bed to coax them into bed. I'd have to get a rolling cart with an extension cord. Roll a little TV in, and roll it back out. 😂

My kids watch one episode of Bluey each before bed on Disney+. Ad-free is the only way I can do that. If they sandwich a Disney Parks ad between the episodes, I think I'll have to resort to piracy.

I think there's a sense of euphoria and catharsis that comes from doing something hard and intimidating. I'm stressed now, but that'll make the payoff when it all turns out okay better.

Today is the 4 year anniversary of One Dreamer! store.steampowered.com/app/1156380/... This is a beautiful, atmospheric, story-driven programming game, and I'm honored to voice Chael, Frank's programming mentor. I loved this game from the demo, and I recommend playing it!

I try to make this a little better every month and automate it a bit more so I can spend more time on little details and customizations. I'm particularly proud of this edition. ♥️

Top ones for me are GitLab and CASA from Ruby For Good for new contributors, but it's been a while. (and RubyEvents too obviously.) I guess it depends on how you define best organized/run. Does that mean maintenance issues are handled quickly, easy for maintainers, or easy for contributors?

YES!! FINALLY!! I've been using the gh-image extension, but fetching the token is fiddly in containerized environments. Native support for attaching images is so exciting!

The reason lids often get stuck is that metal and glass have different expansion rates when exposed to heat. Metal shrinks more than glass when cold and expands more than glass when hot. Running hot water over the lid expands it, but also makes it slippery.

After an intense pairing session over lunch and dinner (and a great deal of excitement on my part) we had a working PR to build RubyLLM tools out of custom Rails generators!!! ✨ github.com/rubyevents/r... We did a few revisions after, but these are live on RubyEvents, and they work great! ✨

That's when I saw @andycandrea.bsky.social's talk about abusing schemas using metaprogramming. He built RubyLLM tools out of OpenAPI schemas and asked the question - should we? And I said, "Yes, please and thank you, but with generators." www.rubyevents.org/talks/the-li...

I spent a lot of time and effort building custom generators for RubyEvents event data only to have AI ignore them in favor of MCP tools and direct editing. I started to think about turning my generators into MCP tools. Carefully wrapping each one and invoking it.

Feeling a sense of validation as event after event (@xoruby.com) people pull me aside a tell me they haven’t been able to go to a conference in years for one reason or another. So many parents, caretakers, and otherwise location locked have been left behind.

Pros: I can read the scripts! It works! Cons: Robots are very excited about writing unnecessary scripts. Optimized for Robot happiness apparently.

I'm trying this out today. Maybe it'll help train the robots to write more ruby.

I do one session to build out all tasks, and then I do one session per branch, so all mine are very short lived. What is a week and a half long Claude session like?
