I might finally be as functional in TailwindCSS as I have been at bootstrap in the past... it really took some time to get there, I had to stop just messing with it and do some focused practice and learning to get over the hump

So if twitter drastically changes in the next bit, serious question... Where do various Rubyist / Software folks talk shop... Is it only on slack/discords is there something a little less real time chat?

I still google how to put my Rails active record logs into my dev console like every other month... `ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)`

Perhaps the role I have been trying to become for a long time ;)
In tech, we need a "Dependency removal engineer" role.

Microservices can feel downright hostile to refactoring... Cleaning up some confusing legacy edge cases, entering it's 3rd repo and requiring coordinated rollout of deploys... It is easy to see how it discourages removing no longer used features...

The #security world is so weird y'all... like wake you up load car alarms are a false positive rate and apparently society is good with that... While Face ID for for phones is like 0.1% false positives and it still shouldn't be trusted... I am against loud car alarms.

This is a problem. I see all thr time and sometimes try to work on... it is a hard space

Few large companies can tell you any basic information about teams, like how many there are, or what they’re working on, let alone which teams are effective. Yet they spend millions on performance management of individuals, which is mostly useless. Real work happens in teams.

Honestly, a huge reason is that sound mixing is so very bad that every explosion shakes my house and I can't hear barely a word of dialog without turning volume way up. CC is only way to have reasonable sound level and not miss dialog.
