So I just noticed that my `gd` command (Go to Definition) does not work when I'm in Tmux...but works fine outside of it. Only tested it on Ghostty though...anyone else have this issue?

Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel will return to late night on Tuesday

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Huge shoutout to our team for helping me turn the RailsConf talk and lots of thoughts into this post about the cycles that technologies and innovation go through, why Rails emerged after a big drop in visibility, glimpses of what the future holds–and our roles in it!

Turn your β€œwell, actually” into a β€œyes, and.”

β€œWell, actually, if you did it this way…” => β€œyes, and with a tweak, it could be faster…”

If you reflect enthusiasm back at someone, rather than negating them, they’ll be much more likely to take your advice/recommendation

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Launched my SaaS app. Serving small businesses who need to post their services and offerings.

It has neat features like in-app messaging, tracks analytics, customer reviews, and business profiles with image galleries. A custom survey builder in the works that is slick.
