Comments on code are context.

It felt like I had opus access for hours today.

Time zones are a myth. There is only EST.

Hey Ruby Friends: rubyfriends.app/profiles/QNRF

Who chooses the two windows?

I figured out how to enable the accessible keyboard, but that is something that could be enabled during the setup.

Setting up a Mac Mini. I cannot believe how bad the experience is if you do not have a mouse to pair (or plug in). Hard to believe anyone has looked at this in years.

I named the folder and typed init. Curious to see where this goes. Apparently I am getting docker, a go server, react and type script.

One of my favorite sayings: "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt"

Kids charging other kids (parents) to post to the college commit Instagram accounts is a nice side hustle (or an organized crime).

Memphis should be forced to forfeit the rest of the series. This is a turd of a game.

“Not so fast fast, my friend”.

Corso is a national treasure and will be missed on Saturday mornings.

The Copilot code review didn't yell at me for using `it` in a block. That's progress, I guess.

The feedback on one of my Stimulus controllers is far better than what it has told me about Ruby.
