Trying to focus on my macros

Almost every time I start to play with some new programming language I tell myself something along the lines of "I really miss the amazing #Ruby standard library right now!". Ruby is not without its flaws, but the standard library is very comprehensive and one of the best in the industry.

The music on Expedition 33 is so good sometimes I go to Backat Camp just to listen

今日は友達達と一緒に晩ご飯を食べに行って、会話は全部で日本語で話した。でも時々ぼうっとして、気づいた時に、会話は英語だったらぼうっとするかと思って、私は自分の日本語能力を疑ってた😭

I feel like Sudoku is just a numbers game

Clair Obscur is great but I probably shouldn't have given all my characters Trolli hair right before a heartfelt cutscene

Got Clair Obscur and played it for 12hrs today. It's _so_ good, but every time I die I'm like "putain!!!"

Had DNS problems today and my Rube Goldberg style network config didn't help 😂

I don't like watching "I'm smarter than everyone" cocky cop shows because they do a very long monologue explaining everything and I can't be bothered to follow their long story

Trying to watch this show but the cursed timestamp is distracting me. YYYY-DD-MM???? Tf?

TFW touch some old #ruby code and fall down a rabbit hole updating/replacing dependencies😵‍💫 This time: what is the state of the art for serial communications in ruby? TLDR(imho): uart gem by @tenderlove.dev, or a fork of serialport for low-level signals control. codingkata.tardate.com/ruby/serial/

Saw a raccoon in the back yard today!

The problem with vibe coding is that not all vibes are good vibes. It's why I always start my prompts with "good vibes only"

Sure, Claude Code can see why my code isn't compiling. But can it see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

If LLMs had been invented in the early 2000's, would we still have had advancements in programming like "convention over configuration" and metaprogramming?

日本語のビジネス用語は分からないのでゼロベースから学んでいます

It's like I always say, you can't maintain alignment if you don't circle back and touch base

I'm thinking Apple should add a blue tint to the liquid glass and call it "aqua"

🚨 Only 10 "Individual" #RailsConf tickets remaining! Individual tickets are priced lower than Corporate tickets as they are sponsor-subsidized. Once they sell out, we will only have full-priced Corporate tickets left...

lmao I'm not even in any group chats 😭

Picked up Elden Ring again over the weekend. Spent ~3hrs trying to beat a boss, googled for tips, turns out it's a tutorial boss 💀

I bought a bunch of cherries but I've discovered that not everything is improved by putting a cherry on top

I just published "Implementing Embedded TypedData Objects" about a feature @byroot.bsky.social and I worked on for Ruby 3.3. A bit late, but better than never. railsatscale.com/2025-06-03-i...

Friends, Today we're announcing the San Francisco Ruby Conference taking place on November 19-20! A super special event brought to you by @evilmartians.com and our first sponsors, deeply committed to Ruby and Rails— Chime, @bolt.new and Gusto ❤️ #SFRuby

Tbh I prefer Zimbu. More efficient with brackets

Having written a compiler in both, I vastly prefer vimscript over rust

I published a post yesterday but I forgot to post about the post. Here's an article about speeding up object allocations in Ruby 3.5! railsatscale.com/2025-05-21-f...

Jurassic Park 2035: "This is Vim, I know this"

Ran a slightly faster 5k today and I think it's due to my mullet's more aerodynamic design

Did my first mullet

Went to Georgetown steam plant today

wut. clicking this image crashes the app on ios

Does this mean Mike Ditka will finally be anointed a Saint? www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/e...

Choochoo passed today. I will really miss her. Especially when she would sleep on my desk and snore during meetings. She loved exactly 2 things: cardboard boxes, and hanging out with me 😭

I wonder if GitHub measures the success rate of the "Explain error" Copilot button on actions bc it's never diagnosed anything for me 😭

Even though I didn't get to see any herons today I still saw some cute birds!
