Claude code is really good at ffmpeg command line options... Give it a bunch of photos and music and some suggestions about timing etc and it can stitch everything together nicely. Easily handling multiple formats, sizes, orientation, etc

Friday was my last day of an incredible journey at Shopify.
In the past 5 years, I had the privilege of working on some cutting edge projects to advance Ruby with some of the most talented and well-known developers.
Shopify will always have a very special place in my heart.

I have been learning more about hardware and electronics repair. I disassembled my gardyn towers and put in a diy replacement for the water pump, now I bypassed the fried motherboard, cameras, and sensors to put the grow lights on a simple timer. Cutting energy use about in half in the process.

Good architecture is invisible until it saves you.
Great example is flipper’s adapter pattern. Can move from db to cache to whatever storage you want with little effort.

Invest some time to set up the debugger for your project, and document how to use it.
You don’t have to debug everything with it, but having it available will save you a lot of time when you do need it.

It is amazing what we can train ourselves to expect. I wear noise cancelling headphones to keep things quiet while working, but I am so use to them I find out of habit I put them on even when my space is entirely silent, as it triggers focus mode just having them on

Bluesky loves links — we don’t downrank or deprioritize posts with links in them, and as a result they get higher traffic, so lots of people post them.

This is truly cursed, I love it, and I expect no less from @jhawthorn.com
I can see I'm getting a lot of traffic because the post is at the top of Ruby Weekly, but make sure you read to the end. John Hawthorn showed me the worst way I've ever heard of to encapsulate code that needs to run only once, but may be called from multiple time from multiple threads.

LOL, no one seemed to want to hear about gardening... So I guess I will need to write about tech again... Well I got one shot, fairly good consistent characters, working so perhaps I can write a post about that.

Rack middleware is so awesome. I love the idea of adding to the env for downstream consumers. flipper and flipper cloud do it like crazy to work together efficiently. Just added a middleware to tag all appsignal requests with the requesting flipper gem version, ruby version, etc.

My motivation on tech blogging got killed, got a lot of anger for posts about AI and using AI images for blog images... So I haven't been on social much either... Anyways, not ready to blog about tech again yet but do folks want to hear about gardening at all?

what is the first tech you remember getting super excited about and then it just disappeared into a dead path of tech history.
I think of XSLT for XML... I wasted a good portion of time (and my youth) trying to force it into a bunch of projects that didn't need it.

I tried making some videos to show what the AI book builder could do, but while it got the idea, it didn't seem to be able to pull in any of the screenshots or real-world UI I gave it as context. Anyways, first attempts using Google's Veo 2 generator. It was supposed to promote app.pretheory.com

@flippercloud.io wins again!
Discovered a bug in a new UI we’re rolling out on a Friday afternoon. Rather than rush for a fix (and introduce other bugs) we can simply…roll back the change and figure it out next week.
