Hanami 3.0 has dropped and can I just say, the docs are gorgeous. I love the bold fun rebrand and their positive encouraging attitude. I first stumbled upon it after giving BrutRB a spin and ultimately deciding to let it mature for a bit before I return, but feeling the itch to keep going with ruby. JavaScript all day every day can be a bit dull. So, to scratch the itch and prepare for using LLMs…

Happy performance review season to all who celebrate. I've been kicking around BrutRB in an attempt to remember anything other than Javascript. I like the idea of fewer abstractions. The DC Metro styling is fun and nostalgic, very human. The maintainer also created an ai declaration policy . I can fully get on board with that.

If the government exists for any reason, why not this one?
I'm trying out this new blog platform, Bear. It isn't as familiar as the typepads and the blogspots of old but it also isn't cluttered with ads, sidebars, and other myriad distractions. No, you must read my thoughts. It is my hope that I will fill these pages with musings, discoveries, and updates and eventually you will have sufficiently interesting tags to explore. Currently, it is past bedtime,…

Much of that life is spent working, and for a lot of people that means depending on others (like you) coming to visit their shop or sharing about their new venture with someone who would appreciate it. As Lindsey at LemonHearted stated so well of Orlando in her post ahead of Small Business Saturday last year, Beyond the towering…

Sometimes through music discovery, sometimes by looking up a strange word I recently encountered, other times by nudging the algorithm into a new area. The algorithm is lovely when you pick up something new. Suddenly, they don’t…
