I mentioned GitHub mostly because I felt them being less present (publicly, at least) in recent years in the community. I assumed that maybe the tighter integration in Microsoft will mean less focus on Ruby and Rails, if they have some plans to move to their core stack in GH as well.

I wonder what happened with the other bigger players in the Rails world - e.g. GitHub, Stripe, GitLab... I think our bigger issue is that almost no one is committing much in terms of resources to the broader community.
nREPL 1.5.1 is out with a single, yet quite important bugfix github.com/nrepl/nrepl/... Unicode is still tricky after all those years - I'd like to apologize to everyone who got hit by this bug!

Blast from the past noelrappin.com/blog/2025/10... I was also doing #Perl before #Ruby and I had a lot of fun with it. I hadn't seen any Perl code in a very long time, though...

One of the most problematic aspects of the rise of LLMs... Much of this AI generated content is pretty bad, so I'm curious how will the reduced amount of human-created content affect the training of LLMs going forward.

Thanks to everyone who thought of me yesterday! All those birthday wishes helped make the day feel extra special! Love you all!
Е, тогава съм напълно съгласен с @dobri.online.
Дори не съм я чувал.

Тъжно е колко малко хора посещават филмите от фестивала "Око" в София тия дни. Още по-тъжно е че нито институциите са помогнали много тази година, нито бизнеса. Събитието няма един корпоративен спонсор и организаторите споделиха че фирмите избягвали да подкрепят про-украински събития...
I think no movie shows better the harsh and brutal reality of the war in Ukraine than "2000 Meters to Andriivka". I saw it earlier this evening and it left me pretty shaken.

I hope it will reach many people, as it seems that these days the world has mostly forgotten about the war and Ukraine.
Makes those 6 documentary movies in 7 days. 😁
