@joemasilotti 100% agree with this. I’ve done the same thing.

@GavinNewsom You should require thorough, real background checks before issuing class A commercial driver’s licenses.

No new funding. Kristi Noem must RESIGN. Greg Bovino must be FIRED. Suspend the LAWLESS mass deportation raids nationwide NOW — ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous criminals. Send the border patrol back to the border. End the militarization of ICE + the sick racial profiling. End the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel agenda. Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of training before even setting foot in the field. INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every single federal agent who is breaking the law.

@cryptowriter @big_duca I hope this is still true in the next 12-24 months.

@big_duca Who's gonna tell him that the reason why it's super easy for him to use Claude effectively is the thousands of hours he spent mastering coding? Bro, I am tired of top 1%ers thinking the entire world thinks and behaves as good as they do. Realize your damn potential ffs

I am not sure if other developers feel like this. But I feel kinda depressed. Like everyone else, I have been using Claude code (for a while, it’s not a recent thing lol). And it’s incredible. I have never found coding more fun. The stuff you can do and the speed you can do it at now. Is absolutely insane. And I’m using it to ship a lot. And solve customer problems faster. So all around it’s a win. But at the same time. The skill I spent 10,000s of hours getting good at. Programming. The thing I spent most of my life getting good at. Is becoming a full commodity extremely quickly. As much fun as it is. And as much as I like using the tools. There’s something disheartening about the thing you spent most of your life getting good at. Now being mostly useless.

@craigzLiszt Here’s a crazy idea. How about using AI and ship 10x faster without slop 🤔

I'd rather have a codebase full of ai slop if it means we can ship 10x faster

@aviflombaum Sounds awesome. I’ll check it out.

You can now download Homebaum from the chrome store. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/Homebau… Seriously, it's good. Would love some 5 star ratings :-)

@aviflombaum @rubylangorg 1.8.7 and I believe Rails 2.3

My first Ruby version was 1.8.6, what was yours? Happy 30th @rubylangorg ruby-lang.org

@GovPressOffice You spend all your time obsessing over Trump. California has been neglected and robbed its citizen’s tax dollars.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND, EXCEPT OUR CLINICALLY ILL FELON PRESIDENT, STEPHEN MILLER, JD VANCE, JD’S COUCH, JD’S FUTON, KASH KANT KATCH ‘EM PATEL, KOSPLAY KRISTI, PARTICIPATION-TROPHY PETE, KAROLYN’ LEAVITT, SECRETARY BRAINWORM, AND MIKE “ALWAYS ON HIS KNEES” JOHNSON. — GCN

@TheJusticeDept @DAGToddBlanche 👌

The Justice Department is not redacting the names of any politicians. As @DAGToddBlanche made clear: “The only redactions being applied to the documents are those required by law — full stop. Consistent with the statute and applicable laws, we are not redacting the names of individuals or politicians unless they are a victim.”

@TheSCIF Obama followed a lot of people back in the early days of Twitter. He follows me and I have a small account.

Why does OBAMA follow the Brown University shooter? Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente had 79 followers on 𝕏, and 1 of them just happened to be Barack Hussein Obama. There are no coincidences.

@zilasino deleted_at

Soft Deletes: Paranoia, Discard, or "just add a deleted_at column manually"?

@craigzLiszt Either looking for clicks or you were never a real SWE.

it is somewhat bittersweet watching my profession get wiped off the face of the earth you will be missed, software engineering

@SandroDoesStuff @yarotheslav @heroku Cost wise speaking, it’s the worst.

@yarotheslav @heroku Is heroku still a good platform to deploy Rails apps, cost wise speaking?

Just deployed a new empty Rails 8 app on @heroku . Straight away getting R14 - Memory Quota Exceeded errors 🫠

If you feel like you're bad at your job and it's making you depressed, just consider that, as the investigation of the recent heist revealed, the password to access the Louvre's videosurveillance system was "Louvre".

@aviflombaum @rails I’ve been seeing it more and more recently. I use Cursor with a mix of auto and Sonnet 4.5

Do my @rails people get agents just wrapping everything in rescue clauses? I never have that many of those in my app, do you? If so, whats your rule to stop it from doing that?

@vmfunc @gothpissed @github You think half the platform's users do dumb shit like that?

@gothpissed @github a first offense is not bannable as per github's guidelines. furthermore, this rule is not enforced usually. else half of the platorm would already be gone. if the ban is because of that PR, that means that torvalds got mad personally.

hello @github why did my account get suspended??? i have been using github for years and have never done anything that goes against the TOS on this platform a lot of very sensitive repos are on my account, and there is no way i can even log in to back them up.

@czue 💯

I think sleep deficits are loosely correlated 1 to 1 with productivity deficits. E.g. if I get 2 hours less sleep than normal, my output the next day will be like my work day was 2 hours shorter than normal (because I am dumber/more distractable etc.).

@strzibnyj @LadiciusDev 💯

@LadiciusDev Well, learn. I actually think engineers should be able to self host their own shit. That doesn't mean they have to, they can use managed solution but they shouldn't be completely useless either...

I 100% cannot afford this (I am not even an employee!) This is the reason I self-host with virtual servers. Cooking up my servers > getting a ridiculous bill I honestly don't get why people never consider this. Install Kamal today (tm).

@GavinNewsom He’s not wrong. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Joe Rogan is too 🐔 to have me on his show and expose his listeners to the truth, so I’ll put it here. California is: - 4th largest economy in the world - #1 in manufacturing - #1 in farming - #1 in new business starts. - #1 for tech and VC investments - #1 for Fortune 500 companies - #1 public higher education I could continue… invite me on any time, @joerogan :)

@JasonSwett Ah, the rare blend of linguistics and superiority complex.

Many people pronounce “processes” with a long E, as if to match crises or analyses. Those “eez” pluralizations come from Greek, but process isn’t Greek, it’s Latin. So only use the long E if you want to sound both pretentious AND stupid.

@GavinNewsom Worst case of TDS

Call it the Trump Effect.
