I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

actually sad to read this all out. Ruby Central was foundational in my early career. I learned so much from conference videos and so forth early in. The relationships I built in the hallways of RailsConf and RubyConf stand through my career today. But Ruby Central is not the same as it once was.

I wrote an update on the dispute with Ruby Central over Bundler and RubyGems. I'm sad it's reached this point, especially since Ruby Central's conferences are a big part of what convinced me to join the Ruby community back in the day. andre.arko.net/2026/07/30/rub…

What they don't teach you about heatwaves: It's not just heat. It's: • Your crops dying • Your river drying (Rhine is low again, disrupting shipping) • Your lungs burning from wildfire smoke • Your power grid collapsing It's everything at once.

This sounds like an interesting article and this journalist is specifically looking to interview *trans people* (not cis parents of trans kids) who moved *states* (not internationally). Signal-boosting because I have a lot of MSP followers, and we have been a huge destination for this.

🧵 … Hey all … I’m in search of story sources who’d want to interview for an upcoming feature about trans folks who’ve moved from red states to blue ones, especially since the last presidential election. Signal boosts appreciated.

Ahora que ha salido el tema recurrente de por qué solo ascienden los señores (porque tienen a señoras detrás haciendo todo lo que viene a ser las tareas de la casa así que tienen tiempo libre para "formarse"), QUERRÍA RECORDAROS que los tres eventos de final de año, Advent of Code (diciembre), -->

Productivity doesn't matter if you're working on the wrong thing.

AI makes good programmers 10x better: you can easily understand and contribute to more codebases and actually make an impact. AI makes bad programmers 10x worse: you generate loads of garbage code and tests that everyone else has to understand and wade through.

i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding
