Hanging out at the XO Ruby Austin conference today. I’ve run into a lot of old faces and some new ones as well. It’s great to see the Ruby community and how welcoming it has always been.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing.

I grew up in Oklahoma City, and felt the blast that day from 15 miles away at my middle school.

Great to see new ideas for user experience for the social web coming together here at the Fediverse House at SXSW. This is a demo of the new upcoming Surf browser.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
