I’m not here and haven’t been here for a few years. I’ve been active over on Mastodon 🐘 at @jamie" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ruby.social/@jamie but more recently there has been a great community on BlueSky 🦋. You can find me there: bsky.app/profile/jamie.… There’s no reason to stay in this place 👋

@jasoncharnes Life goals but not there yet

Me stepping into meetings with @ideasasylum

@BasilAKhan @lichen_z The emoji lives on forever 💜

@lichen_z Aww, I completely forgot it’s my quit-the-job-and-go-full-time anniversary! 🥹 Couldn't imagine building this company with anyone else. It would’ve stayed a side project without you. So grateful to share this fulfilling and rewarding journey with you! ❤️

3 years ago today, @BasilAKhan went full-time on our then side-project. A year after, I followed. With Basil, there's nothing that can't be done. He's relentless, incredibly creative, and deeply passionate about his work－all the while being the best human being. You are a dream to work with and I admire you endlessly.

@jnunemaker @MongoDB @testdouble @AppSignal @railsworld So I’m gathering you kept the CrunchyData colouring books for yourself? 😆 Great to finally meet you. Thanks for the chats

Home! The littles approve of all the swag! #RailsWorld Thanks @MongoDB @testdouble @AppSignal and @railsworld

@andycroll I chose Oppenheimer and writing SQL

The conundrum: watch “big” movies on an aeroplane screen or not?

i will always get my hair cut by my girl josie bc she scratches my head afterwards and thats the only joy I know in this world

I made a useful (+ cool?) thing in celebration of our community. usingrails.com There will likely be bugs in the data (and the app) but I'd love to hear what you think of it. And if you see errors or your company is missing feel free to submit corrections.

@andrewmcodes @mynameisharry @remote_ruby

@mynameisharry @remote_ruby @ideasasylum pls help

So far the best use of AI I’ve found is to generate @remote_ruby fanfic to freak out @andrewmcodes.

I'm starting a new podcast at @RailsWorld (2 words) with the help of the fine folks at @buzzsprout. I get a free ticket, but I already bought one. Do _you_ want it? Reply to this (and follow) if you do. You have until midday UK time tomorrow. Will pick at random. RTs appreciated

Over 175 years ago the people of Ireland and American Indians embraced Ireland was being annihilated by a forced famine that would kill over 1 million Those with nothing offered everything Now, 2 statures standing either side of the Atlantic mark the moment (1)

Hey folks, I was affected by layoffs and need to land on my feet. I've been a Rails developer since 2016 professionally. If you have any opportunities please don't hesitate to let me know. #rails #Ruby

@andrewmcodes You mean _more_ unruly?

@ideasasylum things have become unruly in your absence 😭😭

ANYONE GOT THAT ONE COWORKER WHO BE DISTRACTING YOU DURING MEETINGS OR JUST ME??????

@andrewmcodes And this is why it’s a podcast

if someone schedules a podcast recording at 06:45, are you expected to show up with a shirt on?

@andrewmcodes No shit, I’d almost consider moving for that

Arizona sunsets never disappoint.

@andrewmcodes @jasoncharnes and he's even wiser now with the beard

This is a @jasoncharnes appreciation post for always making time to help me tackle hard problems. His support means the world to me.

@jasoncharnes Split is relatively easy to learn: you just put both halves together, type normally, then move them an inch apart, and repeat. The ortholinear boards (keys in rows and columns) are a step too far for me

@ideasasylum Honestly, I need a second keyboard and know a lot of people use them so wanted to give it a try, The split ones have always intrigued me, especially for ergonomics. Im scared it would break my brain.

If I wanted to buy a mechanical keyboard, what would you recommend? I’ve been using Apple keyboards for years.

@jasoncharnes it's freedom day for all of us

My coworkers love the 4th of July because it’s a day off from my freedom jokes.

@maciejmensfeld I’m curious about your use case (or the common use cases you see). Would a rules engine suffice?

It shocks me that there's no agnostic BPMN/workflow execution layer in Rails. I wonder if there's an OSS market niche in it...
