One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

> Grambo is chatty and gregarious. He curses a lot, and he knows it. At times, he seems to get overwhelmed and loses his train of thought.
I like this guy. Love that he rocks a scooter too.

A few years ago I refactored some complex code and had some ideas about how the design could evolve to give us some performance benefits. That vision was finally realized last week and it did indeed pay off. Things don't always go the way you think they will, but it sure is fun when they do.

I’m working with a coach for the first time in… decades 😂 I’m more excited than terrified but just barely. Structured workouts aren’t my favorite thing but I know they’ll be beneficial. 🤞

Delegating method calls makes it harder to see where deep chaining happens and makes it easier for that chaining to spread. Eventually you may realize that in some cases you go from A to B to C only to go back to A again. #rubyrant

There's a common pattern I see in rails apps that I've never liked, replacing a single line of code with a private method that "tells a story" about what's happening. It requires jumping back and forth between the block of code and private methods to understand what's actually happening, and..

Great week in Puerto Vallarta with the @kit.com crew! We’ve been doing retreats twice a year since… 2017? This was the first time we did “create week” (aka hackathon) and it was a hit.

2024 was a big year of activity. I wasn’t sure I could hit these numbers when it started but I reached the last two in the last two days. Time to celebrate. Tomorrow I’ll start the journey again.

It’s been raining almost nonstop here, but we lucked out with a short window without rain yesterday while horseback riding on the beach. It was amazing!

Rough week 😞 Heading out of the country for a much needed vacation. Planned it early this year and the timing is turning out to be ideal.

Hello, Bluesky. I never really tweeted much, but I'm giving this social thing another try anyway. I spend my working hours at kit.com mostly using ruby/rails and thinking about how to make things better for myself and other developers. You see a lot working on the same large codebase for ~9 years.
