A group of top-tier Rails developers I know and worked with (plus myself) were unfortunately laid off today. Any company would be fortunate to pick them up. If you or anyone you know is hiring, send me a DM 🙏

Claude Code has blown my fucking mind this week. Huge unlocks: - MCP: Puppeteer, Postgres, Linear - Tweaking CLAUDE.md - Adding CLAUDE.md to subdirectories (i.e. tests) - Claude commands - Github CLI I am all-in on this.

Imagine that scene from Pulp Fiction with “PARDON ME?” instead of “WHAT?”

I think I hate ViewComponents 🤔 #rails

How much collective human energy has been wasted redesigning custom checkboxes, radio buttons, selects, etc. that function WORSE than native browser defaults?

After ~20 years of writing code, I'm convinced that literally the ONLY metric that matters for code quality is: How easy is it to change? Copypasta is freedom, abstractions are cement shoes.

well it’s Sunday morning and these Hydraulic Press videos aren’t going to watch themselves

This frame from a @github.com Copilot tutorial video really captures the essence of the Copilot experience.

I'm at the point where AI chat bots send me into a blinding rage, anyone else?

Really curious to know: what AI coding tool are you *primarily* using for real work? - Copilot - Cursor - Windsurf - Cline - Roo Code - Aider I keep bouncing between tools because they're all changing and improving so rapidly 😅

Still trying to determine if AI-assisted coding is a net gain or a net loss 🤔

This isn’t a trade war, it’s a currency war.

My 3yo daughter crashed our weekly dev meeting and now she won't stop saying "fucking paypal..."

Gmail's spam filtering has become awful. I get multiple obvious spam messages like this to my inbox every day now. So happy that I'm just about finished migrating to fastmail.com 🙏

I've spent today troubleshooting random VSCode errors, a suddenly broken local development environment, hung CI builds, timeouts in staging environment... ...seems like a good day to buy a laundromat and a bunch of vending machines 💡

I seriously regret playing Forbidden West before Zero Dawn.

I'm so glad Apple protects me from unsafe activities, such as plugging into the Studio Display I've been using for two years.

I want whatever combo of uppers + stimulants the trainers on Apple Fitness are using.

I truly think I'm the only person in the world who can't stand autocomplete / intellisense when writing code.

There are two hard problems in computer science: everything, and everything else.

Also on the topic of email — iCloud mail is fucking terrible 🤯 Right now - icloud.com/mail - Mail.app for macOS - Mail for iOS all say "Updated just now" but are showing me completely different things in my inbox. How are all of Apple's services SO janky?

Ordered a pizza and told them to cut it into 9 slices, let’s see what happens.

p5.js is fun 🎨💻 (Sorry, probably won't work on mobile!) editor.p5js.org/kylefox/full...

Evenings are for noodling on the couch while watching Seinfeld 🎸

My mechanical keyboard makes me want to code more.

Our resident coyote visited us again 🐕 🥶

Just saw The Book Of Mormon. Holy hell that was funny and entertaining. Go see it!

One thing I've noticed about Bluesky — the app itself just feels great. It's super crisp, snappy, fast, and pretty.

Can anyone recommend a good web cam? The Apple Studio Display's web cam is ... not great 😕 I'd like something a bit crisper with a bit of depth that I could mount to the top of my display.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains
