This was one of the longest, most interesting conversations I've ever had with another human in my life. Lots of great podcasts go deep, but @lexfridman takes you to the bottom of the Mariana trench!
Here's my 6 hour conversation with @dhh, a legendary programmer, creator of Ruby on Rails, author, and race car driver. This was a fun and inspiring conversation on everything from the future of programming & AI to the nature of happiness & productivity to the value of family,

Many such cases. The lessons learned at Amazon and other megacorps are often the exact opposite of what 99% of teams should do.
At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh. They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service

We finished Petit Le Mans on the podium!! Incredible race. Superb driving by @tobi and @ollyjarvis, and flawless execution by @EraMotorsport. Great way to end the season!

Let's push Ayla over the top. Framework has signed up to make it happen, if she gets to 10k 😄🤘
Hey @FrameworkPuter ... if my post gets 10k likes, can you guys send me a semi beast mode diy setup? I'd buy one, but I'm broke atm & my current Asus is complete ass for my workflow.

Bundler was created by @wycats together with Carl Lerche. Bananas for a later contributor to think they can usurp creatorship by fraudulently claiming trademark. But guess it tracks with illegally accessing servers after termination. Wild though. https://t.co/Anpd2joCwV

Time for @tobi and I to do the last race of the season here at Road Atlanta. Ten hours of Petit Le Mans. Great to see so many fans yesterday!
Spark models, stickers, candy, and autographs! Come see us at our trailer and join in on the fun! #IMSA #PetitLeMans

The prophecy is finally coming true! Microsoft and Apple have been fumbling their offerings for developers, so now is the perfect time to simply decide to try Linux. It literally takes as little as two minutes to install!!

Circumstances described sound like a clear violation of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). In misdemeanor cases, like this would probably be, the penalty is up to 1 year in prison. Japan has a similar statue where penalty is up to 3 years.

Former Ruby Central contractor tried to barter for RubyGems access logs(?!). When denied and terminated, he illegally accessed RG production servers, changed the root password, and now wants people to trust his new gem hosting service. Crazy.

As part of standard incident-response practice, Ruby Central is publishing the following post-incident review to the public. This document summarizes the September 2025 AWS root-access event, what...

The best thing about the authoritarian far-left tactic of calling everyone they're mad at a nazi is how it naturally encloses the fringe. There's no possibility of broad support from such a dogmatic and ideological corner.

Hyprland deserves all the gold and diamonds it's getting. Thrilled to have @37signals in good company with @FrameworkPuter on delivering just that. The future of Linux on the desktop has never beamed brighter!

"I kinda find it hard to think of a reason not to recommend Omarchy... This is a really good project", thanks @BrodieOnLinux ✌️

Real diversity: Whoever shows up is welcome. Real equity: We all help carry the meaningful burden. Real inclusion: Your political opinions are your own. Open source gets better when it's focused on making great software for all, and doesn't obsess over tiresome divisive dogma.

More of the same tiresome nonsense from the same tiresome people. Kudos to @cmonkey and gang for immediately shutting it down. This isn't 2020 any more. You can just say no to the struggle session and focus on making great computers and supporting Linux for everyone 👌
Framework Computer expressed support for the Omarchy Linux distribution (and the Hyprland Window Manager). And, right on cue, the Extreme Leftist Activists of Open Source have turned on Framework. Phrases like "Far Right" and "White Supremacist" are instantly applied.

You don't love @FrameworkPuter enough. Scarcely a better pairing in computing right now either. Hyprland runs like a dream on their great gear.
Big thank you and welcome to the sponsor family to @FrameworkPuter for generously sponsoring Hyprland at the Gold tier! Check them out, and their awesome laptops, at https://t.co/qJRcvE7zIp!

So much corporate red tape can be traced to a single anecdote where someone fucked up and their manager didn't have the balls to tell them directly. So they made a policy instead. Don't be that coward. Just tell Ben.

Saved by the Germans. Shame on us Danes.
We did it: 🇩🇪Germany will OPPOSE Chat Control! 🥳 Thanks everyone for writing to the ministers. 🫶 #ChatControl will not get a majority in the EU Council - at least for now.
