This is a great book - https://t.co/DK8z3eL15o - the avoid / tweak / refactor decision (part of the "It's got to be twice as good" rule) is a nice breakdown. And it's a fun read, I've gotten a couple of chuckles out of every chapter.

Posted the CSAF 2022 reading list - https://t.co/8jwiXnk6c2 - I haven't seen "The Silo Effect" before, on my to-read list now

The old "trailing slash" got me again when trying to compile Ruby 3.0.4 - it's "--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/old_ssl" not "--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/old_ssl/"

This graphql talk by @nikgraf is super-insightful https://t.co/7hcKvkTEA8; having done a bunch of graphql lately I totally concur with both the problems and the solutions. Really nice to have this before/after example format too.

@veganstraightedge Hi Shane, sorry, just checked it and looks like I don't have a "settings" button, so I guess not. I guess fork it unless you know someone at Groupon who might be an admin.

@danmayer Would be great to work with you again someday Dan! Next time we'll do a better job of keeping "PurchasesController#create" under control...

Well done @VirginiaDMV - I forgot to renew my registration, you texted me 10 days before it expired, the web site let me renew, and the stickers got to my house 2 days before the expiration date even though it was during Christmas. Very nice!

If you have an iphone with verizon as the carrier, and that iphone can send but not receive texts to android devices, try unenrolling the device from the "HD Voice" add-on using the "myverizon" app. Once I did that all that texts came flooding in.

Just finished "Rediscovering JavaScript" by @venkat_s. Great stuff, an excellent overview of modern JS with all the right deep dives. Very nice!

@jgarber And Angular 1 at that! /me weeps

[Tom Copeland @tcopeland]

Hm maybe it's time to let this side branch go.

High praise for @eatsweetcrimes from our GF kids - "hey these taste like *real* doughnuts!" Well done Keri!

https://t.co/I5646pOZbL is still one of my favorite utilities, nice work @flyerhzm !

"Not exactly", shouted Polly, "Why, it's absolute bosh from beginning to end."

[Tom Copeland @tcopeland]

From "Shop Class as Soulcraft": "[a VW] had been the site of focused attention by others, and its present state represented the layers of their varying purposes, gathered together in a material thing." Sounds like a 5 year old Rails app!

@dsalahutdinov1 Very nice! There is also https://t.co/DBLtHgRozd... as you say, there are many, one day we will combine them all into one!

[Tom Copeland @tcopeland]

@dsalahutdinov1 FYI regarding https://t.co/ACfZyhHYVm you may be interested in https://t.co/rkOQoStmiy to find missing non-null constraints

[Tom Copeland @tcopeland]

@MediaRemedial @fullstory @browserstack Yeah that's true, definitely with great power comes great responsibility

[Tom Copeland @tcopeland]

I don't know which I'm more amazed by - @fullstory or @browserstack. Both are super impressive and so useful.

[Tom Copeland @tcopeland]

Great post from Jonathan Rochkind as he digs into ActiveStorage https://t.co/Hic2SCYMar
