Hey all, I'm looking for a new contract. I'm most at home doing Ruby on Rails performance and scaling work, including Postgres scaling and optimisation. I also do Rails upgrades and tech leadership stuff.

Anyone I follow work at Meta, or know someone that does? I created an account for my pizza business last night and it got disabled within the hour. I appealed, was unsuccessful and the account is now permanently disabled.

RT appreciated.

I wrote something up on why and how you should use the Rails block syntax!

Twitter have dropped support for third party clients and I refuse to use the official app, its insufferable, so I’m just not going to be around on Twitter very much if at all anymore. Find me on Mastodon @[email protected].

@fatgeekuk @hereinthehive You’re being a knob Peter.

@kenw_ia @Phil_Tanner No company I’ve worked for that has had unlimited PTO has used it for these reasons and I’ve been happier and less stressed at all companies where it has been in place.

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices.

Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study.

Let me show you how!

The NHS collapsing before our eyes, nurses using foodbanks, social care in perma-crisis, schools facing bankruptcy, rivers full of shit, privatised utilities brazenly ripping us off, licensed thieves walking off with billions, an epidemic of corruption. Enough of this misrule!

@alterisian @MarmiteJunction Did he west your time? :)

@LeeHambley ISTR there was an editor in progress years ago that reflected code as a 2d graph rather than a flat file. Loved the idea but I guess it never went anywhere and wasn’t for a language I did. No idea what the backend looked like.

[Will Jessop 🇪🇺 @will_j]

@pauldambra Huh, interesting. Will have to hear that in mind if I ever upgrade from the wood fired dinosaur.

[Will Jessop 🇪🇺 @will_j]

@Siftah Yeah, it’s fucking outrageous.

[Will Jessop 🇪🇺 @will_j]

@pauldambra You added a second stone to your ooni?
