Excited to announce I'll be speaking at this year's DadConf!

My presentation will give an in-depth breakdown on what happens if you feed your fish Otto a lot, even though Mr. Carp told you not to

[Sam Saffron @samsaffron]

Over the next few years, writing code is no longer going to be a bottleneck, reviewing code efficiently is going to be the biggest bottleneck most face.

[Santiago @svpino]

I never taught my kid how to read. Why waste time? I instead gave him an unlimited subscription to audiobooks.

He doesn't write either. There's no point in learning something that he can do with a Grammarly subscription. Even his iPhone writes everything for him!

Art, History, and Math are all useless dinosaur concepts from another time. They were useful before, but you don't need them now that we have AI, Wikipedia, and calculators.

I laugh every time I see people learning other languages. Do you understand you have a computer in your pocket that can speak every language?

And of course, I’d never let my kid learn to code. I'd never bother with such a useless skill in the era of AI.

Welcome to the all-inclusive resort of your future! Don't worry about a thing. We take all forms of payment and take care of everything! Unlimited fun in the lobby, and food is served at 6.

everybody wanna fast rails app
but nobody wanna fix no heavy n+1s

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

Kamal, especially with Rails 8, has made shipping side projects so satisfying 🤌

The dopamine hit of having an app live on the Internet five minutes after `rails new` is incredibly motivating.

[DHH @dhh]

It's also been a joy seeing how many others have taken to Kamal. Not just in the Rails world, but in PHP-land, Node.js-world, Go-stan, and a bunch of other environments. Anything that can be packaged with Docker can be deployed with Kamal. https://t.co/9MSJjHrE2Y

@jackmcdade @adamwathan I'm right there with you guys 🤜🤛.

I'm down 20lbs, 45 more to go 💪

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

Nothing like the feeling of seeing 200 failed tests in a build after pushing a 4 character change

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

I now feel like my entire understanding of Ruby threads is entirely wrong.

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

This post is living rent-free in my head. Specifically:

> CPU starvation will look like Ruby is waiting on IO...means that performing the query and getting the thread scheduled again took 20 milliseconds, and you cannot possibly tell how much each part took individually

[Jean Boussier @_byroot]

I want to write a post about Pitchfork, but before I can get to that I need to share some thoughts.

I suspect this one may be more controversial than the optimizing JSON series 😅.

Working on a toy app to play with Rails 8 (love it), and the scaffold default was unintentionally hilarious

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

@ahmetb Cloudflare warp has been such a breath of fresh air. I had to remind myself what it's called because I never have to think about it.

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

@hopsoft Melamine foam (magic erasers) work great for this too! I'm pretty sure my vacuum's app will even tell me to use one if it detects an issue charging

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

Parent mode in games could also be "don't make me download a 40GB update over the next hour instead of playing the game with the precious 30 minutes of free time that dropped in my lap"

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

Every game should have a "parent mode" where
1) I'm able to get TL;DRs for all dialog and cutscenes
2) When I inevitably can't play for 6 mo to 2 years give me a button to remind me what the heck is going on, where am I, what am I doing, and probably a quick tutorial on controls

[Jon Stokes @jon_stokes]

Me gaming in 2014, clicking on every bookshelf & reading the books: "So much lore, wow what world-building."

Me gaming in 2024, after taking the first branch in a main character dialogue tree: "I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for you tho. Or sorry that happened."

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

@JasonSwett This feels very 90s era MTV animation style

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

After 10 years, @snipd_app was able to pull me away from my former favorite podcast app.

I just discovered yet another cool feature: linking me to a book referenced in a snip 🤯

[Rami Massoud @ramimassoud]

@productive_will @snipd_app Absolutely same about PocketCasts!

Every time I've used a timestamp instead of a boolean, it has paid dividends

[Santiago @svpino]

Use timestamps in your database instead of booleans. Null if false, timestamp if true.

Now you know exactly when that field was set.

You’re welcome.
