Been a while since MySQL's `STRICT_ALL_TABLES` bit me. Didn't expect that to come up today. Stupid MySQL.

PSA: Don't put your trash bins in the bike lane! I drove past this last night moments after it happened. Tragic. Dark, rainy, terrible visibility. 😢 Protected bike lakes would be even better, but in the meantime, keep your trash bins out of the bike lanes! www.cityofholland.com/CivicAlerts....

This book has had a place of prominence on the @collectiveidea.com bookshelf since it came out because Kathy Sierra is awesome and y’all should read her. Posting for no reason whatsoever.

a client wants to work with an AI marketing company and part of the JS snippet they provided loads jQuery. This cracks me up, because "rewrite this without jQuery" is something that the LLMS are actually pretty good at.

“Who is the owner of our Google Play Console account?" I directly know half a dozen teams struggling with this and related issues right now. It is infuriating, and Google's byzantine processes and interfaces make it near impossible to do what you want to. 😒

Hanging out in Chicago for a few days at #RubyConf. Despite being in the Ruby community for 20 years, and attending handfuls of Rails and regional conferences, I’ve never been to this one. Great times with #RubyFriends new and old.
