Stop buying games for your steam library until you’re actually going to play them. You’re just depreciating your money over time.

So there’s a new ruby discord. Was there an old one? Is there more drama?

This looks ace, can’t wait to have a play with it.
I got 🤬 at ActionMailer in Rails and cranked out a way to do email in Rails with better ergonomics calls Supermail.

There's not much to it other than its a much more intuitive way of creating, managing, and sending emails in Rails.

Having a go at lacto fermenting cucumbers. Had a good initial taste but then got left with some unpleasant bitter flavours. Any tips?

Anyone else feeling lethargic the last couple of days?

iPad OS 26 feels lovely to use with a trackpad, but a huge step backward for touch input. All the new stuff is just getting in the way, it takes longer to do anything.

Did anyone know that a lot of lead contamination in things is its use as a colour. That’s where it used to be used in Le Cruset pans.

Turmeric has a problem with lead contamination and it’s because it’s being used illegally as a colouring agent.

Hive mind. Can you think of a reliable way to stop AI being able to scrape content published on a website.

Are companies adhering to no crawl settings?

Been forced to use Microsoft 365 in recent days and the web experience is so awful. Especially with multiple editors at once.

How is this considered the default?

And no one who uses office seems to actually use the collaboration features. They’re sending copies of documents back and forward.

Delivery companies often claim you’re not in. What if their delivery app let you confirm you’re home and temporarily share your location data. They’d know you were home and it wouldn’t be a privacy issue since they have the address already.

The answer is they probably don’t care 👀

Please use whatever tools make your life easier. If AI is one of those tools then go for it. I use it multiple times daily. To tone check. To proof read. To edit. To research. To code. To bounce ideas off of.
ADHD is not an excuse to use ChatGPT, actually.

How do we rank the chances that apples first folding phone will be the 17 and released alongside the 17se early next year? ‘Cause the pixel 10 fold with MagSafe is looking very tempting.

Working with Codex feels like outsourcing work to a junior engineer who's sometimes a bit drunk.

Working with Claude feels like pairing with a Junior Engineer.

I’ve been coming very close to buying a Samsung z fold 7. Each review has been making me ask why I’m waiting so long for Apple to get around to it. My brand loyalty is waining.

60 people have already taken the quiz since we launched it yesterday. I wrote about some of the more interesting feedback we got.

What do you do when your motivation is different at work, vs at home?

I built this in 7 days in #rubyonrails – was a lot of fun!

It’s using stimulus, Hotwire, Turbo, Phlex, and Literal

I might finally give Claude a go today. For some reason I thought it was the name of google’s AI which I know is silly because I know that’s called Gemini 😅

Nothing don’t necessarily have to tread new ground (though that would be nice). It’s a big market and it can just be enough to be a share of the market’s preferred look. Though I really want to see some new ideas in mobile phones.

It’s launched! Well to a single community to get early feedback from. If you’d like an early peek before general release drop me a dm!
