ProTip: If your email inbox is feeling lonely and you don't get enough emails from PR firms, start a podcast.

Some of y’all’s PR teams do a horrible job pitching you as a podcast guest. If you’re outsourcing this… ask to see a few of the emails they’re sending podcast hosts on your behalf. I suspect a lot of you would be surprised.
Soft fzf tees keep you comfy during those long planning meetings! :)
The Uni-Ball ONYX micro. Still one of my favorite pens… mostly because they’re what my dad used at work. He’d occasionally bring me into the office with him, and while they had some early version of local email, there was still a lot of filling out forms and taking notes by hand.
I always enjoy hearing how different Rails teams solve similar problems. Bryce Harlan joined me on On Rails to share how his team evolved a decade-old healthcare platform… including an interesting “Action Responders” pattern they built instead of reaching for GraphQL.

Was genuinely pleasantly surprised when a book publisher asked if they could send me a copy of an upcoming book by an author I'm going to interview... and asked for my postal address. Haven't been offered a hard copy of a book in several years. More of this, please. (I guess I should just ask, too)

What's one of the best internal tools or scripts someone on your team built… without anyone asking them to?
Pretty disappointing to see Robby: Feral Mode pushing an Extended 3x Usage upsell. I thought this brand had principles.
We need to spend more time doing things we shouldn't be doing... like calling rubygems... inside of PostgreSQL. This post is nearly 21 years old?! robbyonrails.com/articles/200...
PL/Ruby loves RubyGems and DRb
[5 min read] I admit it. I have had a torrid love affair with procedural languages ever since I started playing with PostgreSQL. The ability to share logic...

@rich-harris.dev Any bandwidth to join me for a conversation on @maintainable.fm in the next few months?
Seeing individual @commitgoods.com orders for shirts across multiple OSS projects warms my heart. 🥰

No fucking way. This smells like where modern hacking attempts are headed.
SaaS pricing pages should start estimating the cold email tax. Not just the subscription cost. The number of “noticed you’re using [SaaS Platform]” emails your team will get after adding an embedded JS widget or Google Tag Manager entry...
