@laribee Thanks!

@danielwalsh Defining value... 😂

@dunkindonuts Do you normally charge $0.59 for a small ice water? I was wondering why my latte was 6 bucks...

Hey #Chicago — we're SO excited for our next @geekfest with @chrisjpowers Topic: Building Teams Where Everyone is Heard When: Tues. 10/30 from 12-1 Where: @Groupon HQ RSVP required: spots will go fast! --> gr.pn/2PFfGY2 #TeamGroupon

@robertlagrant That was the original use case, I needed to run the same rules in the browser and in a Rails server. It’s a neat little project, but not one that I am supporting at this point.

@chrisjpowers your business rules engine looks like a really good fit for running client and server-side rules off a single definition - is the project still alive? :-)

Tomorrow (Friday) I'm speaking at 8th Light University about building teams where everyone is heard. If you're in Chicago near the Loop, come join us! meetup.com/8th-light-univ…

I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of people suddenly pulled their phones out of their pockets and silenced them all at once...

Congrats to newcomer @OdellBrewing for winning our Oktoberfest tasting bracket! Thirteen tasters, and they beat out Sam Adams 7-6 in the final! Sam had @TwoBrothersBeer knocked out surprisingly early in the semifinals.

@johncutlefish I met a guy who just finished a 5 year migration to Silverlight, and was immediately planning a new 5 year migration to HTML5 😱

Today I will give a free year of RubyTapas to any woman in software who wants it. DM me your email. No questions asked so long as your Twitter account seems legit. Especially interested in women just getting started. Tell your mentees, your interns, your code school students.

@akouzmanoff Be sure to read the debriefs at thetimeagency.net, they help fill in the meta-narrative, especially for that mission.

Beat Time Stories: Prophecy of Dragons tonight! No spoilers, but it's probably my favorite one so far.

Having a great time at #JsCampChi

@TechnoTone @unclebobmartin Well, my intent is to have one more video out by the end of the year to finish the SOLID series. After that, who knows?

@chrisjpowers @unclebobmartin Thank you for getting back to me. So now I'm thinking it's better to wait...

Hi @chrisjpowers. If I purchase the entire "clean code in browser" series what happens when more episodes are released?

@TechnoTone @unclebobmartin Hey Tony, sorry for the delay. Right now the "buy all episodes" provides a discount for existing videos but not future videos.

@chrisjpowers @unclebobmartin Hi Chris. Are you still working this out? 😉

At one point I thought about buying this game, but given current events, maybe not...

A recipe for success! Legibility and useful abstractions keep code malleable.

@WhatGameNext Co-ops are the best gateway games; Forbidden Island and Flashpoint are particularly thematic and accessible.

What is your favorite board game to pull out for a friend who doesn't game? What about a group of people who don't game? #AskingTheQuestions #BoardGames #SharingIsCaring #WhatGameNext

Everyone in your organization has a voice. Join us for 8th Light University in Chicago on 10/5 with @chrisjpowers to find out how you can help to to promote full-team engagement for underrepresented groups. Sign up here: hubs.ly/H0dzSgD0

@akouzmanoff Looks great! Did you use a gold dry brush on the metals?

Accidentally stayed up too late, but the planet eaters are done:
