Hey -- there's a Chime listing on my exact team. This is a remote job for US/Canada applicants.

It's doing a lot of the work I do on our Ruby code, but focused on our Python teams.
Happy to answer questions about this here or via DM.
Gotten any good new (to you) pedals recently?
Good thing I just announced a gem I released recently.
Nothing to do with AI. We wanted to see the impact of a proposed change in our testing strategy, and one heuristic we wanted to consider was coverage.
Thanks to @marcoroth.dev for Glamour so it can look all fancy in the terminal.
I recently wrote a #ruby gem to compare two SimpleCov runs: simplecov-compare. I wrote up a long-form post on my blog about why and how it works.

The logo for a pretend company "Hours Unlimited". The "o" is replaced with a picture of an analog clock. The "U" has a curved arrow looping back from the top right to the top left of the U.
Graphic design is my passion.
I don't want all this goodwill to go straight down the drain.
For too long people have been conditioned to miss my many accomplishments rather than shower me with praise.
I jest. I did start writing today. 99 slides and I'm through with: my intro.
A future Kevin problem.
This evening I emptied the dishwasher and folded four loads of laundry.
That's right everyone, it has begun: conference talk writing season is upon us.
Yesterday, I chatted with @kevinjm.bsky.social for the second episode of Ridge Notes. Kevin will be bringing a brand new talk, "InstiLLMent of Successful Practices in an Agentic World," to the @blueridgeruby.com stage at the end of April. Full episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HEr...
The view outside of my window showing houses on my street is partially obscured by snow.
Yes, it's because there's a bush under the window. No, that doesn't help my brain feel any less depressed and alarmed that snow is eclipsing the view out of my windows.
That's rad. If it works and it's fun to play, that's what counts.
Then I clearly needed a new place to display my work, so I built a guitar stand. #woodworking

There's too much snow to touch grass (with more coming tonight), so I've been touching wood and wires instead. #guitar #electronics

I learned about the vaccine while I had shingles...for the second time. I was told about it by a healthcare provider, who apparently was telling me about it just so I know I can't have it.
That was not great information to receive at the time.
Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

How much compartmentalizing destroys a person, asking for a generation.
I'm going to be making some Behind the Scenes videos leading up to @blueridgeruby.com this spring. This first one is some background on our CFP process and my advice on submitting talk proposals to Blue Ridge and other conferences.

Yesterday was the 67th day of school for my daughter. Keep the school's teachers in your thoughts. They had themselves a day hearing about it from what I've been told.
This is a big get for DoorDash. It couldn't have been easy to win the title of "official seasonal second job of federal employees."
The season starts every Oct 1 for an indeterminate amount of time, and kicks back up in Dec and Jan in some years.
Markey and Warren heard from me. Has your senator heard from you?
Amy made it easy for me - we have the same senators. If you're too overwhelmed to know how to contact your senators, reply with your state. I'll help you research it together.
