When using Claude Code to write Ruby, I often see it adding `puts` calls to investigate failures. I wonder if it could be taught to use ruby/debug to set breakpoints and explore interactively. 🤔

Using Claude Code custom slash commands with Ruby
For the past few weeks I’ve been using Claude Code extensively in my Ruby development workflow and find it incredibly powerful, especially since the launch of the Sonnet 4 model.

It's great to see the official launch of Agentic Editing in Zed. I've been using the beta for the past few weeks, and it's been very impressive.

Zed is engineered from scratch in Rust like a video game. Not another fork, but a purpose-built editor designed for collaboration between humans and AI, delivering a lightning fast agentic editing experience.

A bunch of tech CEOs are talking about being “AI-first”, the latest in a series of CEO fads like “return to office”, “founder mode” and “pivot to full fascism”. This one’s weird, though, because it only makes sense if… none of their workers are great at their jobs. anildash.com/2025/04/19/a...

Ontario votes this Thursday, February 27th.
Wasting taxpayer money to tear out safe bike lanes is reckless and dangerous. On election day, send a strong message: no city has ever solved congestion by prioritizing cars—bike lanes should remain a municipal decision.
