Two-panel comic comparing technology use: left shows a stick figure trapped inside a blue screen ("How Technology Is..."), right shows a figure freely holding a small device ("How It Should Be"). By @instachaaz, Kagi branded.

Technology should serve you, not trap or burden you.

Imagine seeing this, then going back to civilization and invent KPIs.

I am working these days on a change to Zeitwerk that will remove a hack.

When I wrote the gem, autoloading had been brittle for more than a decade and I wanted to mimic the classic autoloader as much as possible for users' peace of mind.

But there was a corner case that had no clean solution.

I'm looking for #Ruby or #Elixir work, can start immediately. Freelancer, getter-of-things-done, many years of experience, feel free to DM for more info. Can work worldwide.

Happy to work with other languages/frameworks and devops as needed.

Programming is 2/3 dealing with the non-happy path.

happy birthday! 🎉

Why We've Tried to Replace Developers Every Decade Since 1969 Every decade brings new promises: this time, we'll finally make software development simple enough that we won't need so many developers. From COBOL to AI, the pattern repeats. Business leaders gro...

Failing is not failing. Quitting is failing.

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

It would be nice for Rails to allow on-demand swapping of the cache backend in tests. I've come up with my own solution, in the shape of a custom cache store: lovli.fyi/KTzd

For the next year, I wish you to get back to the helm. To stand firmly at the reins of your actions, feet on the ground. I wish you purpose. I wish you meaning. I wish you to get off the hamster wheel. I wish you the luxury of choice. I wish you intention.

Just published this year's version of my "Ruby Changes" project: a full annotated changelog for Ruby 4.0:

rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/...

Goals: Full, comprehensive, concise, well-structured.
Examples, explanations of reasons, links to docs, all of it.

hang in there 🫂❤️

Happy Ruby release day!

I agree 100%! Jeff is amazing, always kind and humble, a pleasure to talk and work with ❤️

#opshugs to all the Cloudflare people ❤️ very interesting read, thank you for sharing such a detailed post!

Rails people: is there a proper way to customize Rack middleware in tests (ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest)? I need to do it selectively on specific test cases, not globally. There must be a better way than fiddling with MiddlewareStack & friends (right? RIGHT??).
