I've been using Safari for a few years now and I love it. Snappy all the time. Syncs between devices flawlessly and doesn't eat up battery as fast as other browsers.

Honestly Turbo Streams and Hotwire have been a game changer for me. I can do so much with so little code. I can’t believe so many people are stuck in react hell.

I’m seeing tons of explorations around ways to do things happen today in the Ruby world. Starting to feel like 2008 again with an explosion of cool fun projects.

In some countries if you don't give care to someone who is in danger of dying you are yourself responsible for murder. This is what these health insurance companies are doing routinely. Murder by inaction and calling it anything else

I simply give option of candidates to use AI helpers they want. Still a lot come up short. All you need is a baseline that is the same for every candidate and let them differentiate themselves with the same tools they'd use in real l

If you enjoy that article I recommend reading "How Hitchens Can Save the Left" by the same author. I just finished reading it (audiobook actually) and it was a refreshing take, amongst other things discussed in the article, on how

Rails has Hotwire/Turbo, Phoenix has LiveView, others use various methods like Htmx to get away from the SPA nonsense a majority of us are living with.

What a nice read and I love the conclusion! So often it's really hard to know why something will make it big but with hindsight so easy to understand why it did.

It blows my mind to see that speed difference between different languages. In even the slowest language there we have lots of ways we could optimize this contrived code but this is not something that we can always do in the real world. Se

If you add the ability to toggle days in various states this could be a really useful tool for me. Unfortunately I have family obligations that occur at various times in the year. Clickable cells that would change them from day/off o

I bought the first version but skipped out on the last one. I think they'll go the way of Final Cut Pro with this.

There is a question of critical mass that you see in cities that are built around the concept of pedestrians first. Cars go slower, give right of way to pedestrians and generally don't drive as aggressively as we see in most North Amer

I was considering an iMac but decided against it because I couldn't use it as a secondary display for my work laptop.

That might be true if people don't have an iPhone but the moment you start taking photos and videos you're on a trajectory towards one day reaching that limit and get stuck having for only choice to upgrade your iCloud account for

Apple really is into the game of upselling us on iCloud. To them there are no incentives to give us bigger SSDs at a reasonable price since they just want to lock us into their service that has a recurring price.

They actually get healthcare and other services with that. It's not like it's just taken away in some black hole. They get value from the taxes they pay.

It's not having full time kids at home it's having real world schedules that make it really hard to fit a commute on top of picking up kids.

Ruby reads like a charm and makes these examples so elegant. It truly shows that the language was optimized for developer happiness.

Upgrading from 1-4 was difficult but since 4 it has been really easy. Often times nothing much to do from one version to the next.

This author is by far my favorite. Everything he wrote was amazing and made me think so deeply about things. I recommend Dragons of Eden especially because it sheds light on how fabric of our culture is woven by old thoughts that are recyc

The Selfish Gene gave me lots to think about during my escape from the influence of religion in my life. That book gave me a solid idea that a lot of mystery could be explained by very simple concepts over a long period of time.

Why a car should be a special case is that that is what people will hop into in an emergency. Great to have it with you in those circumstances.
