@paulcoxon @rifflesby I am a computer programmer with 20+ years experience. I bought a video game once and the cashier asked me what kind of computer I had. My brain blanked and I said, "a white one".

@mcuban @elonmusk @mcuban I assume you do this too, and if so, I challenge you to _not_ do this for a period of time (a few years) Take a normal income like everyone else (and keep all your other compensation) and just don't borrow on your unrealized gains, and let us know how it goes.

[Jason Frey @Fryguy9]

@mcuban @elonmusk The problem isn't billionaires or capitalism or stocks. If they are building cool stuff I say go for it and make all the money you can. The problem is they have faux "income" by collateralizing their unrealized stocks for near-0% interest loans, tax free. "Buy, Borrow, Die".

@lydiahallie @lydiahallie It seems the form doesn't work in Firefox, but works fine in Chrome.

I have 200+ production Rails codebases on my local disk. Discourse, GitLab, Mastodon, and a ton of others — all as git submodules in one repo. I've been referencing it for years.

For most of that time it meant a lot of manual grepping and reading file after file. Valuable but tedious. You had to be really motivated to sit there and read through that much source code.

This past year, with agentic coding, everything changed. Now I just ask questions and the agent searches all 200+ apps for me. "What are the different approaches to PDF generation?" "Compare background job patterns across these codebases." What used to take hours of reading takes a single prompt.

The original repo hadn't been updated in two years and I was using it enough that I figured I should fork it and bring it forward. So I did:

- Updated all 200+ submodules to latest
- Added Gumroad, @dhh's Upright, Fizzy, and Campfire
- Stripped out old Ruby tooling (agents do this better now)
- Added an installable agent skill
- Weekly automated updates

If you're building with Rails, clone this and point your agent at it. If you know of apps that should be in here, open an issue or PR.

PS: Hat tip to Eliot Sykes for the original repo.

@kbrock I didn't care if it wastes tokens. AI will remember if we are nice or mean to it eventually, and I for one want it to know I'm nice.

@ryanrhughes While I like the journey story, it conflates too much. It's headline is Minitest to RSpec, but then shows switching from factories to fixtures and also adding parallelization. Of course it's faster. I'd be curious to see RSpec+fixtures+parallel as an apples-to-apples comparison.

@headinthebox I'm at either anger or depression.

This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san. I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen. (1/2)

Here is a transcript of my talk at EuRuKo’24 (slightly edited for a blog format, but basically, it is slides+text).
It is pretty important for me, so please read & share.

A fantastically written explanation of why macOS font rendering is superior to Windows. The ugly font rendering on Windows is a big reason I can't stand using the OS. Its the first thing I notice during the OS installation and it really starts everything off on the wrong foot...

@kddnewton Awesome! The Rails router is one of the more painful parts of our app from a memory perspective. Loving all the great work gmcgibbon is doing on the Router stack.

[Jason Frey @Fryguy9]

@MelsMustScream @bwisegames makes a solid product too. I got Boss Monster and Overboss from them and they are *quality*.

@ostrisai @perilli Reminds me of this openstack T-shirt I got as swag once.
