How you will be spending all your free time

I’m available for hire.

I’m an experienced Ruby, TypeScript and CSS engineer looking for a new full-time position.

I can help you with performance, concurrency, testing, architecture and API design problems on tooling or product teams.

I’d really appreciate any personal introductions. DMs open. 🙏

One thing I loved about DarkSky is to get an idea of what the weather is usually like in some location at a given time of year. What’s a good app for that these days?

This game is far from over!

My 8yr old son is a huge Lions fan. I am happy/sad no matter what.

What a game.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Generally very positive in the comments too!

Only problem seems to be the site isn’t working for a small subset of visitors. Haven’t been able to track down enough info yet to diagnose the problem.

I didn’t want to miss out on all the fun 🤷🏼‍♂️

Interesting! I haven’t played with Rust yet. Waiting for you to write “Rust for Rubyists” 😝

Use cases for lazy are few and far between but it’s a good tool to have in the toolbox.

2024 ended up a pretty solid writing year for me. Here are the top 10 posts by views. Of them, 8 were written in 2024 (tanstack and pgbouncer have had alot of staying power, they're from 2023). I'll link to each after this, in case you'd like to check them out!

I don’t recall ever needing a reason to nest method definitions, but somehow now surprised that this appears to be valid Ruby:

def outer
def inner
end
end
