Sometime ago, I announced that I was working on a platform for Rails Experts. It's almost ready, and I've been making solid progress. Expert can build their profile, add their expertise, create their offerings, and manage their inquiries. https://t.co/IQKsrEnVo9 #buildinpublic

Multiple takes on Stimulus vs Alpine.js What is yours? https://t.co/6KUTTGhLM8

Coming soon I sat down with @jeremysmithco for what I thought would be 90 minutes. Four hours later, we were still talking. We talked about building products no one's buying, choosing family over money, and what it means to be a "nurturer" in tech. The Expert Bench -Episode 2

So, I'm looking for a job or gig! Internal or external Rails development consultant with front-end, UI and design in mind. So, if you know any company that has a Ahmed-shaped hole, please DM me. Many thanks.

@ahmednadar Definitely :D

"It's much harder to get offended in person than on the internet" @GregMolnar This is relatable, don't you agree. https://t.co/lc5dQy3pEp

Canadians are just simply built differently and by differently I mean tougher.

I asked @GregMolnar on Rails community in Europe. Here is what he said: - Rails is growing in popularity now in Europe - European community is "healthier" with better work-life balance vs. US hustle culture Do you agree? https://t.co/pCnRqLx6lp

@GregMolnar The human element matters. Always has. Always will. Even in 2025 with all our tools, nothing replaces sitting down with someone over food or drinks. Full episode with @gregmolnar https://t.co/pCnRqLx6lp When's the last time a conference changed your career? 👇

@GregMolnar Greg's conclusion: "It's much harder to get offended in person than on the internet." Even jumping on a call is much better than text-based back-and-forth when there's a disagreement.

@GregMolnar "Jokes or being sarcastic never comes through the internet." In person? You see the half smile. You know they're joking. It's on their face.

@GregMolnar "You realize, 'Oh shit, he's a bloody human like me,' right? It's not just a handle." Your brain doesn't register online handles the same way as meeting someone in person. Right?

@GregMolnar The problem with online communication as we all know: You write a tweet → I write a tweet → You write an answer → I write something "It's not a discussion. For one, I don't see your facial expression."

@GregMolnar In the last few years, ALL of Greg's security consulting work came from: People he met at conferences Previous connections People who saw him speak online NOT from cold emails or traditional marketing.

In our extreme online world, that's why conferences still matter." Rails security expert @gregmolnar on why face-to-face beats online communication every time 🧵

The second part of my pretty long chat with Ahmed is out now! Go give it a listen and let me know what you think.

@GregMolnar Greg: "I think there are some nuances to the whole story, which kind of justifies or can justify what they did." It's not black and white. And that's what makes it so hard.

@GregMolnar Greg's controversial take: "I don't think democracy works well in this sense." Why? Who gets to vote? * Former Ruby devs now doing Rust? * New learners who'll be here 20 years? * Anyone with a Ruby "passport"? How do you even define "the Ruby community"?

@GregMolnar In part 2 (final) with Greg ask, Who owns open source code? 🤔 His take? "The source code is not owned by anyone, anybody can fork it. But who owns the GitHub organization?"

Just dropped Part 2 with @gregmolnar on The Expert Bench 🎙️ He ask, Who owns Open Source? Greg reveals hard truths about open source governance that most are afraid to discuss. https://t.co/pCnRqLx6lp
