At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.
A thread about my favorite story from running OMCB....
I made a website. it's called "one million checkboxes dot com". it has one million checkboxes on it.
checking a box checks it for everyone.
that's it. have fun!
Probably worth mentioning: I'm basically never here any more. I don't check back most months, or see notifications. You can find me here: ruby.social/@codefolio

I've had trouble getting logins to work here, or even error messages from them. Where possible, better to follow me on ruby.social: ruby.social/@codefolio
This is great advice! There’s a course called Rebuilding Rails by @codefolio where he rebuilds basically the whole thing. It’s probably the best way to really learn how it works IMO.
Hey, Inverness folks! We'll be getting together on third Tuesday, 21st Feb, at The White House. Perhaps you're interested in in-person chat about tech and the web in Inverness? No presentation this month, but we have a pub quiz. kommunity.com/highland-web-g…
I've turned on Purchasing Power Parity for my ebooks and classes, including Rebuilding Rails (rebuilding-rails.com). I have also removed my usa-is-expensive honour-system equivalent coupon.
Basically: Gumroad supports PPP now, so I'll do that instead of a DIY coupon.

The YJIT team set an ambitious roadmap at the start of the year, decided on a Rust rewrite not on the roadmap, grew the team & still delivered all the items by end of Nov. This's been an amazing effort from @Love2Code, @alanwusx, @codefolio , @kddnewton , @k0kubun & @jimmyhmiller
Turns out tweetdelete.net/ will cheerfully delete tweets older than a given age.
In unrelated news, my older tweets are outta here. There's not anything I'll genuinely miss, I don't think.
Okay, that one reply to the tweet about the hair dryer. But besides that.
Fair warning to occasional new followers: I'm mostly active on Mastodon. Paying attention here less and less.
Basically, this is where I come to repost sales and blog posts, and my email list is usually better for those.
I've uploaded my #RubyConfTH slides here: github.com/nateberkopec/ruby…
* Puma's design goals
* How web servers work with processes and threads
* How Puma works
* How to contribute to Puma

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
ALT Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes:
Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss.
Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016.
Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.
