Turbo Kid is still, amazing. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Le Matos—incredible soundtrack; Laurence Leboeuf—unhinged; Munro Chambers heart & heroism shines, Skeletron (Edwin Wright) the best of insane henchmen; Michael Ironside is as evil as ever. Perfect Sunday afternoon adventure movie.

I always encourage people to get as far as they can with "just" Rails. Do Rails-y things The Rails Way until it gets impractical. You just have to leave yourself that room to pivot and add more abstraction when it comes time.

Psychological safety is NOT about lack of disagreement. Psychological safety REQUIRES: * disagreement and debate * setting standards for behavior and performance, and enforcing them * telling people things they don't want to hear * courage, from the bottom up * humility, from the top down

Great... we need to keep our tariffs/retaliation in place for a resting period after each change, or this is going to be a daily "buy the dip" market exploitation.

Very telling that there’s better coverage of this meltdown in Ukrainian language media than in the US press, whose traditional leaders were barred from the room by the White House and whose other representatives are under the influence of cringing billionaires.

Hey Canada, while we're angry and boycotting US products and companies, we need to also boycott Shopify. It sucks for the little Canadian shops run through them. But remember the company provides for Nazis, supports Trump, and is against Canada. Cut down your spending on Shopify powered stores.
