Good thing I didn’t delete my Twitter…
I wonder if there’s gonna be a genuinely better place someday.

Option B for sure. Lol

I love the sound it makes too. Lol.

So awesome to see Gusto joined the Rails Foundation and is now sponsoring @boulderruby.bsky.social !

On top of being a big fan of their offerings, they have a pretty big presence in Denver.

My wife has also worked there almost 7 years now so makes it even better.

Welcome ✨

Linear is a startup punching well above its weight in the speed&quality of shipping, supporting a large number of customers (10,000+ co's) with a small team (25 devs).
I sat down with Linear's first engineering manager, Sabin Roman.

Awesome!

Woah! Already? Sweet!

In the past 24 hours, invisible_captcha has blocked 35 spam signups and allowed 4. No false positives.

This seems pretty good, honestly. Hope it holds for a bit. 🙏

Screenshot of Go code wrapping the SQLite C Interface.

I spent the last few days learning the SQLite C interface and writing a Go wrapper so I could access my database without the high-level abstractions provided by existing libraries. This isn't very pragmatic, but it gave me a reason to finally learn cgo, and how SQLite works under the hood.

Starting with open source feels like solving academic problems.

Building products give you real problems with all the weird edge cases. Extracting solutions from products ends up with extremely useful tools.

with a tiny bit of JavaScript enhancement, take that CSS driven slider and give it "that little bounce™"

- use pointer-events to calculate an overdrag
- map that overdrag to a CSS custom property --stretch
- apply style
- profit 💀

(bonus points for only handling drag when limit exceeds)

This week I setup 2 CDNs for Liminal, here's how (and why)...

Apparently, it’s psychology, and it works.
You see them testing thumbnails when a new video is out and the faces seem to win most of the time.

Source: listening to YouTuber conversations and explanations for why they do what they do.

A screenshot of the composer interface. The first post says “After you type something, you’ll see the plus appear below…”. The second post says “…and you can type your next post!”

📢 1.93 is rolling out now (2/5)

To compose threads, start with your first post, then press the plus button!

Rails 8.0 is officially out! 🎉

I love coming back to an old piece of code and realizing it can be greatly simplified. It's a great way to measure your progress as a developer.

Hmm, I see.

I guess we’ll have to hope that with time, the benefits of using 🦋 will be significant enough to make it worth growing their reach from scratch.

Maybe it’s not so bad if this place is mainly for programming. I’ve struggled with curating my feed (basically turning it to mostly code-related posts) on the other app, so I appreciate getting a clean slate.

Turn off politics. Go build something.

Same. I see myself visiting the two sites quite often (Twitter more, obviously).

My talk at Vite Conf is live youtu.be/vIxQ6u9pHaw 💙⚡️
Why @vite.dev is the missing abstraction, and how it fits the ethos of Rails. I’m sharing our experience at @evilmartians.bsky.social as we work with growing startups that need to be both super competitive and fast.

Is CSRF protection needed for JSON APIs with cookie-based auth? If you require `Content-Type: application/json`, then cross-site HTML form submits will be rejected, and you should be good, right?

In Devise ecosystem, I only see token-based auth for JSON APIs, so I'm having trouble finding examples.

Thank you Thank you 😊

I appear to be enjoying myself here much sooner than I expected 😅

Ayy! Congrats Jeremy. I haven’t popped up in your update threads recently, but I listened to your podcast episode with Jason, and crossover with Remote Ruby.

I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines 🎉

(Now, I wonder if I should replicate my reply on a certain other platform. Lol)
