I'm not happy about the state of leadership in Rails (to put it mildly) but I like this perspective.

reddit comment: I’m a transwoman. There’s a strong possibility that DHH doesn’t think that I have the right to exist the way I do in my daily life. The way he talks about other marginalized groups is even worse. It sucks, more so because I love Ruby and I love Rails.

Despite this, I don’t think the SWAN is cooked. I can still be nice and write code that makes me happy. And DHH can’t stop me from doing those things with Ruby or Rails no matter how much of an asshole he is. He might own the trademark, but the source is MIT. He can go pound sand.

This might be a naive take, but I refuse to let shitty people take the enjoyment out of the things I like.

I don't know who ran justactiverecord.com because I loved it but it's fully down now. It seems the domain is free, so I bought it and am going to reinstate the wonderful meme there. If you're the original author and owner - hit me up.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

DRY (don't repeat yourself) is actually a bad idea in many situations. For example, in a service (or microservice) architecture where you want independent deployability, two services sharing a library are effectively coupled not only to the library but also to each other. 1/3

Because I'm a cheapskate and don't code after-hours as much as I want to, also I want to keep the manual-coding skill sharp, I only pay for Cursor and not Claude Code (which I use a lot at work). And I'm happy to report that cursor-cli is not that far behind!

Testament just released their new album, Para Bellum. Way better than Brotherhood Of The Snake and Titans Of Creation, as they've toned down the black metal experiments (not fully though) and we're back to Bay Area thrash. It might replace Dark Roots as my second favourite!

Can we, for a second, appreciate the Director of Engineering who flat out refused to produce falsified data for the founder, telling her that he doesn't think it's legal, refusing further pressuring to do so. So Javice had to contract externally to get the fraud done.

My weakly-held opinion on DHH's political ramblings: as far as my political views are from his, freedom of speech means he can express non-extremist views, including right-wing ones. Open-source, like workplace, has and will have people from different parts of political spectrum.

Diverse cities where strangers from different backgrounds respect, welcome, and care for each other are literally the most amazing thing to ever come out of civilization. It's why I loved living in NYC so much, and why I want to move to London once our nest is empty.

"bloodshed" has left early access recently. it's a combination of vampire survivors (most mechanics, including autoshoot) with a retro fps (aiming, dodging). climate and aesthetics are very close to "blood". hits a combo of dopamine releases i never knew could be combined.

Migrating from Twilio's Authy -- because it refuses to run on my Onyx Boox Note Air 3C, despite the system being unrooted and secure -- to Bitwarden Authenticator and I already love the latter. Syncing the 2FA keys in Bitwarden Vault is *chef's kiss*. (FIDO migration alongside)

GitHub managed to make the files changed tab slower than it was before. This is astoundingly bad. 6 seconds to load the top of the page. 10 seconds to register hovering over a link. If you switch away to another tab and switch back, you need to wait about 2 seconds for it to render again. 🧵

My new laptop has an integrated GPU and a 2800x1800 screen, a combination which makes running new games sound impossible. But thanks to Gamescope's integer scaling and this iGPU being pretty decent (HX370), I got Oblivion Remastered look decent (no blur) and run at 35+ fps.

This blog is SO good at pointing out what should have been obvious about AI for coding (Copilot and others) These tools are good for re-creating whatever they’ve been trained on. They are not what will create the next, better generation of frameworks, libraries, technologies.
