It started when I interviewed 20 Ruby startup founders last year. Gave a keynote (!) at RailsConf. Launched SF Ruby meetup. Now it's coming together: the missing open source (AI, frontend), Ruby startups, Ruby devs. Learning from each other. Building the future. Together. In Ruby. At @sfruby.com

I think these changes are probably good overall. With 12 days, I'm considering a completionist run this year.
Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

TFW you go to write a sassy BlueSky post about GitHub's contribution graph widget, but then you remember that you have friends at GitHub, and maybe they know the people who built it, and ask yourself, "How would they feel reading this post?" and you have to write one about self-reflection instead.
