I build things with Ruby, Rails, Javascript, and magic dust. Mostly Ruby, though.

@rvdwalle beste Rik, jij was de promoter van mijn masterthesis computerwetenschappen in 2010. Ik keek toen naar je op, je was een van mijn favoriete professoren.

Is dit een uitspraak waar jij achterstaat? https://t.co/S5bU0sURwf

De tuchtprocedure is afgerond. De conclusie: @ugent ziet grensoverschrijdend gedrag niet als een bewezen tuchtfeit.

@nateberkopec When starting the job, it is known when it was enqueued. Add logic that makes sure to sleep if that is less than 25ms ago (should be relatively few occassions?). Don't try to reschedule, scheduling jobs especially for "about now" has a high performance impact on redis.

It's 2019. Heroku has been out for 12 years, and there's still no alternative that comes close. Based on their eye-watering pricing, they know it, too.

@Hello_World Is retweeting this ironic? 🤔

"Argument by URLing" & "Argument by book referencing" are the least convincing ways to persuade someone about your position.

If you can't formulate it in your own words you don't have a useful position on it but are merely serving as the messenger for someone else agenda.

@joren Ik versta al meer van de lyrics nu dan de laatste keer ik dit gehoord had, jaaaren terug 😅

@ddfreyne @fxn Quality, Denis.

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

90% of my twitter experience is playing hide-and-seek with @ddfreyne’s screen name. “Oh which one will he be today?!”. The other 10% is imagining what twisted source it came from.

@MihaRekar You’re not my supervisor!

@joren Je fiets heeft nu nog meer emotionele waarde! Zo’n avontuur om later aan de kleinkinderen te vertellen terwijl je het zeil ervan wegtrekt in de muffige garage in 2058.

I built a ruby gem to easily do things with Things by @culturedcode - It's called thingamajig and you can find this thing here https://t.co/1zlZ42NjL0

@andrewculver I would like to try out Bullet Train, however Stripe is not available in my country. Any plans on integrating with an alternative such as Paymill? Or if not, how hard would it be to customise it myself (although it might then defeat the purpose a bit).

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

@AzureSupport @DevJevNL Also experiencing issues. Why is there nothing on the status page? Seems like you've been aware of issues for a while now, but could only find out through Twitter.

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

Dear strftime, I'm sure it has some reason, but I'm still unimpressed.

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

@tmeire_ @lienvdsteen Sometimes I sleep, too!

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

@Herthog pijnlijk!

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

@TulevaEesti any chance of an English translation of your website? Google translate does not do well on complex financial content.

[David Verhasselt @DavidVerhasselt]

@ellhaavee not supported by https://t.co/cuMdpipTrE? SEB and Swedbank are. Would love to load my LHV account data into apps using this API.
