Can't help but remember what @ChrisPirillo mentioned years ago regarding how #twitter is really all about conversation. Especially these days it seems that that element is missing :(.

@kentcdodds Thanks! I've been up since 3am Eastern time ... going to catch some sleep and hope for the best. Hopefully that app isn't a hard requirement if it just doesn't work ...

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

@kentcdodds correction: I don't have a modern version of OS X or windows.

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

@kentcdodds Hey Kent, the calendar invite says to install https://t.co/Xv9ao2JgU8 I just spent about 8 hours trying to get the app to work on linux (PopOS 22.04 using distrobox and then Gnome-boxes with an Ubuntu 24.04 VM) and failing... I don't a modern version of OS X or windows. Help?

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

@kentcdodds Ah ok. I read the workshop page on your website & watched the intro video and wasn't sure. Thanks Kent!

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

@kentcdodds Ok, you don't have to know AI, cool. So, what are the prerequisites?

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

v4 UNIX has been found! https://t.co/pLcOfxJijy

For anyone else out there that appreciates unix/linux/bsd etc ... this is very cool.

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

If you're getting "libEGL fatal: did not find extension DRI_Mesa version 1" when trying run either wezterm or ghostty on PopOS 22.04 (based on ubuntu 22.04) jammy try to `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` . Via https://t.co/p79AhAz0zG

@thoughtbot Unfortunately I did not, not sure why offhand. Thank you for the link, that works!

A walk in nature.
A library card.
Kindness.

`bin/rails runner` can go in a shebang:

#!bin/rails runner

<this code runs with the app loaded>

Then, chmod u+x scripts/my_script.rb.

For some use cases, this is handy and simple.

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

@kentcdodds Aww, happy anniversary to you and your wife Kent!

Persisting dynamic data to a column (denormalizing) is a tricky tradeoff.

It's like caching: you suddenly have to care about all the myriad ways in which this data can become stale. There's a lot of opportunities to create bugs.

Usually only best when it's the last option.

[David T. Harris @DavidTCHarris]

@caike I don't know about it being cultural since I don't get them either.

I don't understand why you would want to tear someone down like that. Further why would anyone that cares about you consider that funny? It just doesn't make sense to me.

We're looking for an intern to join us @GoRails this summer.

You'll build, test & deploy an open source @Rails app with us. It'll be a great way to get some hands-on, real world experience with Rails and mentorship.

@VimLinks Any hope of adding dogs? Seems like cats are the only pet supported currently.
