And then yank it after people begin using it seriously. Sarcasm, but I'm still salty about how he executed the quitting.

deepseek-v4-flash-0731 is *absurdly* good for its price ($0.09/$0.18 per 1M tokens)

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.

If you're a caveperson like me who sometimes uses web chat interface of different LLMs and likes markdown export then you might find it useful: bookmarklets! * repository: github.com/tomash/bookm... * page: html-preview.github.io?url=https://...

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

i'd position it as substack alternative with own-your-domain as feature (if you own domain, you own the url and are not vendor-locked)

I mentioned it to build an analogy to runtime branching and allowing two (or more) variants of same component to be in the app, routed/decided at runtime from feature flag or env var. To quickly swap behaviors between new and legacy.

More than 8 months later, I finally managed to put some thoughts about the passing of my dear friend Piotr into a post. Grief is tough. Remembering Piotr @chastell.net Szotkowski pragtob.wordpress.com/2026/04/12/r...

Remembering Piotr “chastell” Szotkowski

Most of this blog post was written 8 months ago, between his passing and his funeral. I didn’t find the strength to get back to it for a long, long time, but after talking and reminiscing wit…

i expect it to be one of those competences useful for 10-20% of the time 3 years from now, but making a huge difference during that 10%. like most "deep" skills.

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!

3. is pretty awesome, now i'd like the same from Sidekiq (so that we can better control it's RAM utilization) 🤞🏻

On March 10th we seem to celebrate Men's Day (40 Martyrs of Sebaste). Ask a friend what's up and if he wants to grab a coffee, beer or just hang out.

How're things with the thought leader, is he still "optimistic" about Trump now that Trump wants to basically start a war with Denmark?

Tomasz always taking it a step further Stachewicz @tomash.eu · 16/12/2025

just when you begin to think he's maybe not that bad, just trying to make it in a weird industry, he pulls of shit like this ram deal

this was mildly irritating (maybe even sometimes amusing) before 2022 but now it's fucking infuriating.

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.

Tomasz always taking it a step further Stachewicz @tomash.eu · 26/09/2025

same here. with all the news around it's just too much to observe a conflict within the community that defined last 18 years of my life. also fingers crossed for attending tiny ruby in helsinki, my favourite european capital.

looks like a natural progression down the right-wing path

judging by my bluesky timeline, i'm guessing the thought leader has shared another piece of wisdom with his views on society.

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.
