Luke Francl

I wrote a tutorial about how to build a query parser using Ruby, Parslet and Elasticsearch: recursion.org/query-parser/

@bjhess haha, at least yours got merged

@lof Oh, no, I didn't include a title on my first public PR?! #bjhess" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">firstpr.me/#bjhess

Happy Sweet 16 to the Pull Request. Unfortunately my first public PR was kind of disappointing #look" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">firstpr.me/#look

Francls have to stick together. I'm trying the salt thing next time I brew tea.

Really sad to hear about the passing of @hughes_meister I'll always remember him as someone who inspired me professionally. One of those people you come across in your career that makes you infinitely better by setting a high bar ivinsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Sim…

After posting this, X told me to engage with my timeline so they can make sure I'm a human. I mean, makes sense. I've only been a user since January 2008, you can never be too careful.

The video of talk from @strangeloop_stl is now available!

For my @strangeloop_stl talk submission, I was having trouble writing a punchy abstract. So I asked ChatGPT for help. It was an interesting experience! recursion.org/2023/9/27/chat…

@UrbanJerseyGuy @mnolangray Napoleon promoted inoculation for smallpox in conquered territories. It probably saved a lot of lives but was super unpopular! Plus ça change... napoleon.org/en/history-of-…

@mnolangray But what was napoleons views on vaccines?

The guy on the left is ‘one of history's greatest generals’ and the guy on the right is ‘just an actor in a movie.’ Yeah, ok.

There are ~200 tickets remaining for Strange Loop 2023! Don't wait until the last minute (or you may be disappointed)! ti.to/strange-loop/2… and program: thestrangeloop.com/2023/sessions.…

@QcMaude @strangeloop_stl Congratulations, this sounds like a very interesting talk!

Bittersweet to be speaking at the final @strangeloop_stl conference 🥲 thestrangeloop.com/2023/building-…

The schedule for the final @strangeloop_stl is out, and they are really going out with a bang! Looks like one to make if you can.

I'll be speaking at @strangeloop_stl about our recent research on collaborative text editing. Sad that this will be the final Strange Loop! thestrangeloop.com/2023/new-algor…

@atomly @strangeloop_stl I'm sad it's ending too, but I understand wanting to end on a high note instead of letting the conference become a burden. Organizing a conference is a ton of work!

I am excited to be speaking at the final @strangeloop_stl about lessons from building GitHub code search.

This is a great idea, wish I'd thought of it!

Excited to announce that I will be speaking at the @papers_we_love track at @strangeloop_stl this year! Stop by if you want to hear me riff about concatenative programming languages. thestrangeloop.com/2023/concatena…

The Strange Loop 2023 program is now (mostly) available! Check out this amazing set of talks and get your tickets now before they're gone! thestrangeloop.com/2023/sessions.…

@sqs @strangeloop_stl Awesome!

@lof @strangeloop_stl Awesome. I’ll see you there!

And unfortunately, I've never been able to make attending work in the years since (kids will do that sometimes...) Until now! I already had a ticket, and I wasn't going to miss the last session for anything. Register here: thestrangeloop.com

Strange Loop is my favorite conference that I have never been to. I had a ticket in 2015 but had to cancel for reasons. recursion.org/2015/10/23/my-…
