Copyright and License OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

Coool an “open” Creative Commons counterpart of google maps! Would be cool to see what interesting problems could be programmatically solved with their API

Started looking into the Ruby VM and YARV for an upcoming blog post/talk I’m working on, and so far it’s less complicated than I expected.

CEO of Canada’s 2nd biggest company defends Trump’s tariff demands, slams Trudeau for not stopping trade war “These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source,” Tobi Lutke, who co-founded Shopify, said…

This Tobi guy is fucking clown.

Shopify quietly kills Indigenous entrepreneurship program Build Native Build Native program lead and Head of Equitable Commerce no longer work at the company.

An absolutely unsurprising but still gross move from Shopify. Pay attention to who is taking advantage of the prevailing political winds to jump back on the white supremacy bus as soon as they possibly can. betakit.com/shopify-quie...

Violent Sleep of Concurrency (with JP Camara) | Dead Code

Ready for more Ruby concurrency content?! Check out the latest episode of "Dead Code"!

@jardo.dev asked great questions that helped distill some concepts from my blog series so far. Thanks @jardo.dev!

Also, it's quite a good show in general. Give it a listen!

I have an adjustable standing desk and also very poor cable management which I believe puts me in the "chaotic neutral" section of the developer alignment chart

Comprehensive test coverage makes this soo much easier 😮‍💨

I've used Unix and open-source software since 1988. (Yes, even before "open source" was coined). A Mac has been my primary computer since 2003.

And yet, I only discovered this great resource for MacOS configuration and tools (including lots I didn't know before) today: sourabhbajaj.com/mac-setup/

Just found out a good friend and mentor, Noah Gibbs, has passed away. Rest in peace friend, the Ruby community is poorer in your absence.

Writing “As a User” does not make it a user story I got a question from one of the blog readers on how I would describe a spec with examples for a user-interface specific user story, such as “As a user, I wa...

“Don’t Repeat Yourself” is advice that only makes sense when developers are talking about semantics.

Even if two passages of code are identical, unless a change to one should always change the other nothing has been repeated.

Nothin like reading API docs while on the elliptical at the YMCA 💅💪

TIL about defining `…` as your method arguments, and how you can forward these arguments as-is in the body of your method.

Reminds me of RSpec’s `and_wrap_original` API on mock (spy?) objects.

Has anyone ever used this in production code?
