It's going well! We're inviting a new cohort in early Jan. We've got the app going in Flatpak and that lets us target a lot more distros. Hoping to ramp up invites pretty quickly if things go well.

Hah, agreed! That demo is 3 years old at this point. I'm trying to find someone to help us redo it.

I wrote a guide for newer pair programmers. People have said they found it helpful, so maybe you will too! "Your First Pairing Session" – https://tuple.app/pair-programming-guide/your-first-pairing-...

Are you using core.spec in your codebase? Did that help at all?

If you're having Slack fatigue and a less interruptive approach sounds appealing, a friend is working on something you might like: https://level.app .

"A mobile app version would be better." Do you know that for a fact? You probably meant "I think a mobile app might be better."

Hey Obie! I'm one of the aforementioned creators of Trailmix. I am indeed a thoughtbotter, but Chris is actually a GitHubber. So far, our $3.99/month price seems to be working out well. We get the occasional comment that the price

I've used OhLife for years and have hundreds of entries. Seeing their shutdown notice made me incredibly sad. I don't want to lose my journaling habit, so I looked into every recommended replacement in this thread. Sadly, I found

For those that attended, was it tough to concentrate in that large warehouse-y room? Looked loud and busy.

"Timeful is being built by a team of about 20" That sounds like a shockingly-high amount of employees.

A little tweak that got me in the habit of using things like 5j and 6dd: :set relativenumber. It numbers your current line as 0, and counts up and down from there. It makes it very easy to see that you need to delete the next 5 lines, or mo

No freaking way this is worth $10/mo, especially when creating your own by embedding your Google Calendar in a web page (or in the case of my example, a Google Site page) and sharing the link is free. The link you provided doesn&#x27

Am I reading correctly that you haven't had a raise in 5 years? And in fact have been subject to effective pay cuts, due to increased healthcare premiums? Isn't it time to look for a better job?

Fine job on the video, young Valve employees! Can I make a suggestion? Make your email capture form immediately visible and give it equal emphasis with the video. Don't let intrigued people leave without giving you a way to contact the

Because they haven't tried to control it too much, Twitter feels to everyone like previous protocols. One forgets it's owned by a private company. Makers of Twitter clients were eventually reminded of this fact in a rather painful way.

What do you mean by "they really need a killer new product"? They're the most profitable company in the world. What pressure are they under?

The author has some points, but sadly they're mired in a lot of inaccurate ranting.

Interesting approach. It'd be a bit surprising in a Rails app, however, since models usually handle their own validation. That said, the fact that GuestBookEntry doesn't have validation as a concern does make it simpler. I might refactor

I use a factory for the same things you use them for: to build objects. For example, I use factories to create test objects that are complicated to set up (using a gem named factory_girl, actually). Also, in Ruby, every class is a factory f

Hi Patrick, I'd like to preface this comment by saying that I'm a huge fan of your work. You've personally helped me a ton. That said, I must ask what made you choose video as the medium for this content. Frankly, you're a much stronger wri
