Hey all, I’m looking for some short-term contracts for development. This could be either in Ruby or AI-based solutions. If you know of anyone looking for someone like me, please let me know. Thanks!

If you are an early stage startup that can't afford to hire the wrong person to lead your enginnering efforts, please reach out to me. I am not looking to fill an "engineering" role. I want to be the entrepreneur-minded pragmatist that happens to be know how to build apps. RT🙏

Git Tip: Running `git checkout -` changes to the previously accessed branch just like `cd -` changes to the previous directory. You can use it with other commands too such as `git rebase -` to rebase off of the previous branch.

Here's a tiny stimulus controller that will highlight the parent element of the currently present anchor in the URL. This is useful when allowing permalinks and you want to add an additional visual layer of identification.

At long last, The Rails and Hotwire Codex is complete and will drop on 15th December, 2022. It's funny how my deadlines went from mid summer, to late summer, to early Q4, to before the end of the year 😂. Complications arose, ensued, were overcome. railsandhotwirecodex.com

Okay, based on reception, I'm going to do a blog series that I've dubbed "Advent of YARV". Every day I'll post a blog post on kddnewton.com detailing different aspects of the CRuby virtual machine. You'll learn how it works, why it works, and how to learn more.

I couldn't commit code because I temporarily commented out a line of code and the linter was upset I didn't put a space after the '#'. These sorts of overly opinionated linters really suck the joy out of programming.

Need a color palette for your charts/graphs in Rails? I wrote up a class that will generate the colors for you with the following code: ColorPalette.generate(30) Try it out at replit.com/@coderberry/color…

Gamification is a powerful force. It will even drive people to do the WRONG thing. Leave room for play: no purpose, no rules. Yet fortuitous results. @holly_cummins #YowLondon

This looks fun
I love @github's Markdown editor when writing issues/pull requests. 😍 I would love to have this feature out of the box for Ruby on Rails applications. This is why I released my first gem action_markdown which aims to reproduce GitHub's editor.

Now that I am waiting to board my flight to Houston, I can't help think about the great experience everyone had at #RubyConfMini a little over a week ago. It was one of the best conference experiences I've had and here is why: 🧵

I'm really happy github.com/hotwired/stimulus… got merged. Once that's available in a StimulusJS release you'll be able to do things like this: data-action="keydown.esc->dropdown#toggle" Turbo and StimulusJS has made certain UI features so easy it feels like cheating. Thanks @dhh!

Ernesto is certainly not a hothead and I‘m sure he has carefully thought over calling this out. If he is concerned, we all should be!

Watching Elon operate in a domain I have some familiarity with has put me off ever wanting to own a Tesla.
