Don’t over-engineer. While there are some AI tasks that are better suited for Python, using a Ruby gem and some API calls will do the job for most cases. Ruby on Rails is great for AI: thoughtbot.com/blog/ruby-on-r…

I’ve started a nerdy production company with @JW_Cartwright and I’m going to be posting most of my gaming and nerdy content on Instagram going forward instagram.com/chad.pytel I’m at Gen Con now so you can see new stuff about the con there now.

Back at @dndinacastle, this time with @JeremyCobb1 for another amazing experience with a great table. I rolled a Nat 20 against the Big Bad with the rest of the party down

I’ve been playing D&D for a long time, and I just had what is likely the best play experience I’ve ever had at #dndinacastle with @JW_Cartwright as my DM, along with four incredible party members.

@skybondsor @P_Wannemacher @thoughtbot I think this term came about as a way to distinguish from physical product design, which includes packaging and industrial design.

@P_Wannemacher @thoughtbot I have been struggling to formulate a tweet-length answer to this since you asked it! Do you have a definition?

Next up, my current approach to Combat in D&D, particularly using theater of the mind, chadpytel.com/dnd/combat.html

I've been playing D&D regularly for over 25 years, and I love it. Over the last few years I’ve started to DM more, and have collected some thoughts on my preferred style. First up, Character Backgrounds and Alignment: chadpytel.com/dnd/background…

@grossberg @GiantRobots @mRelief_form I like the sound of that.

@GiantRobots @mRelief_form @cpytel good episode; how can anyone not root for a company with a mission like that? You had mentioned you were working on the terminology of “most qualified candidates” vs “best candidates” approach. Perhaps you mean something like “most promising candidates” for the latter?

@grossberg @thoughtbot Ok, this is fixed now. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the heads up!

@thoughtbot I noticed on giantrobots.fm/409 that the links are visually indistinguishable from other text. Could you tweak the CSS to visually distinguish a bit more?

@grossberg @thoughtbot Weird. I wonder what changed. I’ll take a look, thanks for pointing it out!
