[getting my ass beat for suggesting perhaps a better world is possible if we take even small principled steps] assailant: you fool. you utter imbecile [pounding continues] everyone knows I'm an ally. always have been. maybe the biggest ally. [i succumb to my wounds] oh. not even a thank you

It blows so hard that every time I do something and have big plans and they involve Rails, the hamburger helper guy keeps fucking it up. like censor your-fucking-self my guy and you'll stop wasting a whole fucking day on the backlash, and cause a lot less angst. send skeet.

Got Damnit. This Racist Motherfucker (David Hamburger Helper) Is so fucking stupid to not know he's fucking racist. Ruby people, do you get how fucked up this is? This is like 3 or 4 levels of fucked up already. Anyways fuck that guy. Anil is cool though.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

XORuby SLC on August first is cancelled because of a lack of interest. Sad. But it's also opportunity time! Where are the Ruby folks in Utah at? How do we reach them? How do we build a broader and more diverse community around XORuby here?

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.

It happened. I mentioned something silly my kids did and they acted like I said nothing. I'm talking about the kids too much.

I just did the math and I need to make 150/hour, never miss a billable hour, and never make a mistake. To give away 50% of that to taxes and still only make enough to pay all my bills, pay rent, eat, and not save enough money for retirement.

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

Hey friends, Where are you finding work, if you ARE looking for work and finding it, where does that happen?

Where are all the hip trendy web designers hangin' out nowadays? Where are they postin' stuff?

Maybe I'm actually a good Dad/Husband because I spent a ton of time today doing family things instead of working and now I'm staying up late to do the work. Like that's good right? I'm not messing this up?

I started working on a small, local only, personal app to help me track my work and what I do every day. Doing very small programming things is fun.
