@griswold @bot Been doing a similar thing for about 3 months and 1) I’m down 15 lbs 2) the grocery bill is down 30% and 3) compost / waste is about 1/3 of what it used to be.

Such win here.

@dhh Your keynote was good, but as an Omarchy guy / Omacon attendee it didn’t shock me or piss me off.

So please don’t take it the wrong way when I say my favorite part of RW was the cybercab rides! Had some great convos while ignoring the traffic!

This morning it finally came home to me. I will probably never write another program in C again.

Which is a big deal. I've been writing C since 1983. 43 years is a long time and a lot of skill investment.

It's not like I didn't see this coming. I've been writing about the decline of C for years, predicting that it would be displaced by newer systems languages with better safety guarantees and more coherent designs.

It wasn't better language design alone that did it, though. It's how good LLMs now are at generating code from specs and prompts.

This means I can speak a program into existence in Rust or Go without any more effort than would be required to conjure it up in C. What makes this particularly dramatic is that I never learned to hand-code in Rust. And now - I don't need to.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

@ryenski_dev I had this once too. Then I scaled it and hated it!

@jamonholmgren I was surprised to learn last week from @bjreath that the U.P. used to be part of Ohio, and was ceded to Michigan in exchange for the Toledo strip. https://t.co/re5etJeyVK

@averbs You gotta make some progress into the wind!

@dhh @lufthansa The $899 price point on the 16GB XPS 13 is a darned good deal too.

@paolino "You know, you can just do stuff!"

[Carmine Paolino @paolino]

After ZapFast and Spotifast, people keep asking me to build native apps for their favorite services.

I'm one guy who shipped two apps billion-dollar companies won't.

I can't rebuild the world alone, but we collectively can! Take your tokens and show me what you can do.

We can fix everything! 💪

@iamdothash Obligatory IT KICKS YOUR TTY ASS

@jondkinney You an dme both, bud. I couldn't find any pictures of us from the Nashville ruby conf because they've all been <redacted> but I did find this image of me taken just after MagicRuby in 2011, around the same time the green Intridea jackets were a thing!

[Pete J @peteonrails]

We had a little Intridea reunion at RailsWorld cc @jondkinney

[Pete J @peteonrails]

@iamdothash Still remember the chuckle you gave me with "Your rice is mid".
