My course about Ruby on Rails security is out of pre-sale. All of the content, videos and text is published now. I will likely add an extra AI section soon as an extra.

@catalinmpit One of the best decisions of my life. We are completely off the grid and use as much energy most of the year as we want and never need to think about costs.

Clever phishing attempt.

@ThePrimeagen "2026, the year of AGI" is a really good fantasy book.

Ah, so you would just kill everyone else than your family. Interesting way of thinking. Who would be the future partner of your kids though then? Who would produce the food you eat? Who would fix things for you, etc.
We need each other and we should embrace that.
And if you worry about the animals, do you know what happens to them in the wild? When the lion eats the zebra alive? I dispatch my animals in the most humane way, so they don't even realize it is over. And they have a great life before that, I protect them from predators and they leave as close as possible to their natural way.

I guess these police officers still sleep good at night, but karma is a bitch and this might happen to someone close to them in the future. It should be standard practice to check someone for injuries in such situation. Even if he wouldn't racially abuse and attack someone, he would've not deserved to die in the hands of police officers. Shame on them.

🇬🇧 Bodycam footage has been released showing Henry Nowak begging for an ambulance before being handcuffed behind his back.

Nowak: "I've been stabbed"

Officer: "I don't think you have mate"

@JakeRammos @alovedcupcake You can start with yourself. But it would be better to find a partner and have kids, that would change your perspective on this.

@GithubProjects I am not sure it is up at the moment.

[Greg Molnar @GregMolnar]

@dhh @Ciberon But completely banning AI assisted stuff sounds extreme and I don't even sure these projects had a massive slop issue. Seems like premature optimization for something that might never happen.

[Greg Molnar @GregMolnar]

I think what makes this challenging is that AI generated stuff is often convincing but turns out to be terrible once scrutinize it, so you kinda have to waste the time on it. I experienced this especially when I use them to find vulnerabilities. Things look convincing, but most of the time turn out to be nothing. And the LLM is so confidently advocates about it until I push back.

[Greg Molnar @GregMolnar]

@dhh > We don't exactly what the final shape will look like,
Clearly not written by AI, because I think "know" is missing from this sentence :)

[Greg Molnar @GregMolnar]

100% agree. Admin1234!!! is likely a valid password for this site, but it is many leaked password databases and wouldn't stand a change against an attacker. Validate for complexity instead!

Dear developer / CISO, if you are mandating this - you hate your users and you are doing a shitty job.

[Greg Molnar @GregMolnar]

@jockowillink I really don't get how the parents don't make a massive issue of such case. If this would happen to my daughters, I would do everything in my power to punish them properly.

[Greg Molnar @GregMolnar]

Lucky me! Well, this is phishing, stay safe out there!

We were hit again by the fog. I was supposed to fly this morning but my flight was cancelled. Joys of living on this island.

"No spam...."
Just 3 unsolicited emails the last 3 days.

@nateberkopec This is how AI will take our jobs.

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Next week I'll be giving live 1:1 "How We Work in Basecamp 5" workshops and walkthroughs. The sessions will be held over Zoom.

These are especially tailored for companies drowning in too many tools, or stuck on the conveyor belt of working hard but getting nowhere. If you've been sold a bill of goods ("use this basket of tools everyone else is using...") but find that it hasn't paid off, get in touch.

If you, or your company, has been down one of these paths (https://t.co/7yeHqBB8Wq), and you're curious how to step off that path and onto a clearer, simpler, straighter, and faster one, please email me. My email is in my profile. DMs here are fine too.

In the walkthroughs I'll share our Basecamp 5 account. You'll see behind the scenes, from the inside out, how we run our entire company on Basecamp 5. No Slack, no Notion, no Google Docs, no DropBox, no anything else (other than Github, for our repos, of course). It's all in Basecamp 5.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

@alexp_ssc Deadlift is the only thing to prevent one from being small and fragile?
