Nice touch that Claude Code will actually exit when you type "exit" without the / command.

Opencode does this now too, but I think that is new.

The Three R's of pre-commit hooks for Claude Code on Ruby projects: RuboCop, Reek, RSpec. Keep them fast and Claude has some decent guardrails. Be wary of it adding exclusions and suppression comments though, it will not work very hard at refactoring.

Ruby 4.0 dropped on Christmas. I asked Claude to upgrade my Rails app. It said no. I said do it anyway.

6 gem workarounds later: nokogiri from git, standalone tailwindcss binary, force source compilation...

Build worked, deploying now... 🤞

Just when I was nearing 50 open PRs, I bounced back to almost 67. Anybody else use the GH /pulls page as a work queue/check-in to make sure things get fixed and finished?

Congrats to Ichiro on the HOF selection! Wonderful news for the PNW. Ichiro and Edgar Martinez may be the only Hall of famers I have seen play.

Closed all 499 browser tabs on my phone, clean slate to add another 499 threads that are waiting to be read, but won’t.

Today, @clarabelle.xyz became the first user *ever* to be paid for her work on Booksky via the Graze monetization platform. Over the course of an hour, we ran ≈5k impressions, paid $5 ($3.5 of which goes directly to Clara's bank account), and got 7 hits on our test lander.

It's go time.
