Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down. NO. We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.

Amazing interview:

RIP, Jeff Beck. :(

Unit tests: ✅

I’ve got a few very talented junior software engineers who I’d like to help find jobs at high quality, healthy orgs. Please drop me a note if you have any available spots.

Fun times

I am equal parts WarGames and Ferris Bueller.

Gen-X AF.

“Knowing how it works” is not the same as knowing its implementation or constraints.

#RubyConfMini karaoke is happening! I hope @aspleenic is proud.

I want to concentrate on this fun talk by Aji Slater at #RubyConfMini, but I am distracted wondering what awesome font is used on these slides.

Maybe I should also get this out the door today. In honor of @RubyConfMini, the new edition of the Pickaxe book is 35% off with coupon code “RubyConf_Mini” at https://t.co/8NQeUz1qDN -- the code is good until Nov 30. Pass this around!

We genuinely have some delicious food here in PVD. Some awesome calamari with hot peppers and marinara is a safe bet for a positive destination memory. But 2 hot wieners with meat sauce, mustard, rehydrated onions, and celery salt may cause some discomfort to a newbie.

I’m impressed by Goldiloader. I recently added it to a large Rails app and it made nearly all `includes` calls redundant and solved quite a few other N+1 queries automatically.

This was HUGE victory under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

RT @garius@mastodon.social Something to note: if you are setting up a Mastodon account, even as a fallback: LIST YOUR MASTODON ADDRESS IN YOUR TWITTER BIO. There are scraper tools your followers can use that check their follows and import any that have a Mastodon address (1/2)

When “mild-mannered” people enable toxic people, their mild manners are irrelevant. They are toxic. Fung is his own *person.* But a Congressman Fung is not independent. He would enable toxicity. The comparisons ring true. Vote for @SethMagaziner

Gotta love some custom guitar case stickers

Democracy reminds me of trying to fold a fitted sheet: - It takes a lot of effort.  - It's going to be messy.  - Almost no one is going to do it perfectly.  - We have no choice but to give it a try to avoid complete chaos.
