I wrote a tutorial about how to build a query parser using Ruby, Parslet and Elasticsearch: https://t.co/IzDpBMFpZz

[Luke Francl @lof]

@bjhess haha, at least yours got merged

[Luke Francl @lof]

Happy Sweet 16 to the Pull Request. Unfortunately my first public PR was kind of disappointing https://t.co/EAV9MJeYmt

[Luke Francl @lof]

Francls have to stick together. I'm trying the salt thing next time I brew tea.

[Doug Turnbull @softwaredoug]

Really sad to hear about the passing of @hughes_meister

I'll always remember him as someone who inspired me professionally. One of those people you come across in your career that makes you infinitely better by setting a high bar

After posting this, X told me to engage with my timeline so they can make sure I'm a human. I mean, makes sense. I've only been a user since January 2008, you can never be too careful.

"Lessons from building GitHub code search" by Luke Francl @lof (Strange Loop 2023) https://t.co/Z6ji4TYvrZ

[Luke Francl @lof]

For my @strangeloop_stl talk submission, I was having trouble writing a punchy abstract. So I asked ChatGPT for help. It was an interesting experience! https://t.co/pKVUKI4Nlf

@UrbanJerseyGuy @mnolangray Napoleon promoted inoculation for smallpox in conquered territories. It probably saved a lot of lives but was super unpopular! Plus ça change... https://t.co/kdpheGgR0x

[Strange Loop Conf @strangeloop_stl]

There are ~200 tickets remaining for Strange Loop 2023! Don't wait until the last minute (or you may be disappointed)! https://t.co/0stAUi1rcQ and program: https://t.co/GL0HEwoKCM

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

@QcMaude @strangeloop_stl Congratulations, this sounds like a very interesting talk!

[jhemann @jhemann]

The schedule for the final @strangeloop_stl is out, and they are really going out with a bang! Looks like one to make if you can.

[Martin Kleppmann @martinkl]

I'll be speaking at @strangeloop_stl about our recent research on collaborative text editing. Sad that this will be the final Strange Loop! https://t.co/YOND96awKh

[Luke Francl @lof]

@atomly @strangeloop_stl I'm sad it's ending too, but I understand wanting to end on a high note instead of letting the conference become a burden. Organizing a conference is a ton of work!

[Luke Francl @lof]

I am excited to be speaking at the final @strangeloop_stl about lessons from building GitHub code search.

[Luke Francl @lof]

This is a great idea, wish I'd thought of it!

[Marianne @bellmar]

BUT! This means I have a ticket to @strangeloop_stl that I don't need. Who should I give it to? Nominate people you think should be going who still haven't committed (even yourself)

[Douglas Creager @dcreager]

Excited to announce that I will be speaking at the @papers_we_love track at @strangeloop_stl this year! Stop by if you want to hear me riff about concatenative programming languages.

[Strange Loop Conf @strangeloop_stl]

The Strange Loop 2023 program is now (mostly) available! Check out this amazing set of talks and get your tickets now before they're gone! https://t.co/GL0HEwoKCM

[Luke Francl @lof]

@sqs @strangeloop_stl Awesome!

[Luke Francl @lof]

And unfortunately, I've never been able to make attending work in the years since (kids will do that sometimes...) Until now! I already had a ticket, and I wasn't going to miss the last session for anything. Register here: https://t.co/xWIS0mO9WZ

[Luke Francl @lof]

Strange Loop is my favorite conference that I have never been to. I had a ticket in 2015 but had to cancel for reasons. https://t.co/EEXnPh9uuI
