A friend of mine is seeking a mid-level Rails role. He's been working with me on a new project during his downtime. He's at the leveling up stage of his career and is getting very good. Is anyone looking for mid- to senior Rails developers?

I've written a version of this rant several times, but I didn't write this version. This prompt did: "Write a 6 paragraph essay in the style of DHH about why microservice architectures are bad for small teams." I followed up with 2x "Make it more polemic", but I didn't change a

We are not governed by our best and brightest. Everyone can see this except for official Ireland. "The Herzog Park fiasco isn’t representative of the Irish people. Rather, it represents official Ireland: its political, academic and media class, which purports to speak for the

Imagine focusing on policing speech instead of asking why European car companies are not even at the races compared to US and Asia.

Great thread on the flaws of the EU.
I used to be an advisor at the Berlaymont. Now I’m spilling the beans on how the EU is deliberately designed so citizens can never hold it accountable or force real change from below. Thread 👇

"Until one day, your country’s parliament becomes a glorified comment section on rules already written elsewhere." Pretty much sums up the Irish government.
🇪🇺 WELCOME TO THE EU'S BUREAUCRATIC EMPIRE: WHERE DEMOCRACY GOES TO DIE So, you went to the polls. You voted. Maybe you even knocked doors or argued politics with your uncle over dinner. Congratulations. You exercised your democratic right. Now let’s tell you why it doesn’t
