Don’t over-engineer. While there are some AI tasks that are better suited for Python, using a Ruby gem and some API calls will do the job for most cases. Ruby on Rails is great for AI: thoughtbot.com/blog/ruby-on-…

I’ve started a nerdy production company with @JW_Cartwright and I’m going to be posting most of my gaming and nerdy content on Instagram going forward instagram.com/chad.pytel
I’m at Gen Con now so you can see new stuff about the con there now.

Back at @dndinacastle, this time with @JeremyCobb1 for another amazing experience with a great table. I rolled a Nat 20 against the Big Bad with the rest of the party down

I’ve been playing D&D for a long time, and I just had what is likely the best play experience I’ve ever had at #dndinacastle with @JW_Cartwright as my DM, along with four incredible party members.

We interviewed our #DEI Program Manager at @thoughtbot @gerondaws about
🌈 Implementing a successful program by providing a culture of belonging!
🧩 Challenges the #technology industry faces.
🤝 How do we create a space that's as inclusive as possible?

ALT "It's providing that space to say if you need support in feeling comfortable, whether it's in your job or just you as an individual, I want to offer that. And so please be as open as you can with me. And it's providing those different spaces to amplify the voice of that person." – Geronda Wollack-Spiller, DEI Program Manager at thoughtbot

🏳️🌈 Hear @cpytel talk to Deborah Levine of @CenterLink about working on a digital #mentalhealth tool to support and help #LGBTQ teens explore affirm their identity, founding Q Chat Space, and how products online interaction have changed & evolved. giantrobots.fm/428 🏳️🌈
ALT "It is about pride. We are proud to be LGBTQ. There's nothing to be ashamed of. And yet there are many forces in our culture and government who do make young people and adults feel shameful about it. So that's really what we're trying to counter." – Deborah Levine, Director of LGBT YouthLink, CenterLink
