The Chair Company is two horror movies, one a David Lynch-like exploration of the weirdness that rises when you dig under normalcy, the other simply about the constant feeling that you are screwing up at your job in ways you don't realize

In Praise of dhh A reflection on Ruby's past, present, and future.

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.

I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness.

Join me in building a better future:

A dark music venue with black walls is lit with ring lights that cast an orange glow across a wood floor that's lined with red vinyl booths. In the center of the ceiling is a large disco ball, and mounted on the wall is a neon sign that says "The Cut" inside a circle. The XO Ruby logo appears in the bottom left, with the address and name of The Cut ATX called out in orange text.

if its a well-known stack, having it bootstrap the project is a real nice quick win

makefile, dockerfile, github actions, etc all come out mostly ok with a little editing after the fact
