"AI-first" is the new Return To Office - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

I got quite a lot of free time lately, so I figured I'd use it to blog a bit. Hopefully it's worth the effort?

Here's the first one, about some of the optimizations I and others made to ruby/json recently: byroot.github.io/ruby/json/20...
