He used to share interesting commentary but seems to have lost it.

I mean as a way for humans to write better specs, e.g. describing the desired behaviour through scenarios, examples, etc.

I wonder if Gherkin could be useful for specs in 'no code' libraries like github.com/dbreunig/whe... @mattwynne.net @nateberkopec.bsky.social

It's a good start, but they need to have accelerating fines for repeat offenders like Canpar and Purolator so that it doesn't just get treated as a cost of doing business.

Strung Out

I'd heard of Strung Out but never properly checked them out until recently. So many great songs, can't wait to see them live in Toronto in May.

It’s been that way for many years. The monolith is all minitest but there were some smaller pieces of RSpec still around.

For a long time, I've found the concepts of mutation testing interesting but too tedious to be practical. With agentic AI, that is probably no longer true, so I'm hoping to take fresh look at github.com/mbj/mutant.

RuboCop's place in an AI/agentic future · rubocop rubocop · Discussion #14910 👋 I'd like to start a discussion about how RuboCop fits into a future where most code is written by AI and not humans. Some initial thoughts: RuboCop can provide a very effective set of guardrails,...

This sounds interesting, I'd love to see some example of the agent prompts.

Retirement is now defined as having the option to ignore AI

Obviously they meant to say presidentwagyu

I built a Claude Code plugin that teaches it how to work with Ruby - picks the right version manager, reads the right docs, connects to Ruby LSP.

I think we will eventually have community maintained bridges between AI agents and the language ecosystem.

I’m an ebiker and have donated to Cycle Toronto, but I support this crackdown.

Would love to hear more about how you do this.

There's a duplicate entry for Google btw

When using Claude Code to write Ruby, I often see it adding `puts` calls to investigate failures. I wonder if it could be taught to use ruby/debug to set breakpoints and explore interactively. 🤔

This looks great, I have a bunch of ideas for features to assign to Claude Code.

fast-mcp is a good option

@stoppodcasting.bsky.social it would be amazing if you could have fellow Vancouverite @helenzaltzman.bsky.social as a guest sometime

The timezone offset is also wrong, it's set in the UK so should be +0 (or +1 in summer).

Definitely @readwise.bsky.social. It even has some AI features: docs.readwise.io/reader/guide...
