Strung Out

I'd heard of Strung Out but never properly checked them out until recently. So many great songs, can't wait to see them live in Toronto in May.

It’s been that way for many years. The monolith is all minitest but there were some smaller pieces of RSpec still around.

GitHub - mbj/mutant: Mutation testing for Ruby. AI writes your code. AI writes your tests. But who tests the tests? Mutation testing for Ruby. AI writes your code. AI writes your tests. But who tests the tests? - mbj/mutant

For a long time, I've found the concepts of mutation testing interesting but too tedious to be practical. With agentic AI, that is probably no longer true, so I'm hoping to take fresh look at github.com/mbj/mutant.

RuboCop's place in an AI/agentic future · rubocop rubocop · Discussion #14910 👋 I'd like to start a discussion about how RuboCop fits into a future where most code is written by AI and not humans. Some initial thoughts: RuboCop can provide a very effective set of guardrails,...

This sounds interesting, I'd love to see some example of the agent prompts.

Retirement is now defined as having the option to ignore AI

Obviously they meant to say presidentwagyu

I built a Claude Code plugin that teaches it how to work with Ruby - picks the right version manager, reads the right docs, connects to Ruby LSP.

I think we will eventually have community maintained bridges between AI agents and the language ecosystem.

I’m an ebiker and have donated to Cycle Toronto, but I support this crackdown.

Would love to hear more about how you do this.

There's a duplicate entry for Google btw

Don't forget to clear the logs and remove any stale branches.

When using Claude Code to write Ruby, I often see it adding `puts` calls to investigate failures. I wonder if it could be taught to use ruby/debug to set breakpoints and explore interactively. 🤔

This looks great, I have a bunch of ideas for features to assign to Claude Code.

fast-mcp is a good option

@stoppodcasting.bsky.social it would be amazing if you could have fellow Vancouverite @helenzaltzman.bsky.social as a guest sometime

The timezone offset is also wrong, it's set in the UK so should be +0 (or +1 in summer).

Definitely @readwise.bsky.social. It even has some AI features: docs.readwise.io/reader/guide...

JSON Schema Store JSON Schemas for common JSON file formats

I believe Zed checks schemastore.org by default, so could the Ruby ones be added there so that the comment isn't needed?

It's great to see the official launch of Agentic Editing in Zed. I've been using the beta for the past few weeks, and it's been very impressive.

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

A bunch of tech CEOs are talking about being “AI-first”, the latest in a series of CEO fads like “return to office”, “founder mode” and “pivot to full fascism”. This one’s weird, though, because it only makes sense if… none of their workers are great at their jobs. anildash.com/2025/04/19/a...
