@alexanderadam__ has the world’s most sacred copy of The Poignant Guide in existence.
Filled with art and poems and signatures by countless Rubyists, including Matz! I was honoured to make a contribution in Vienna.

Asked him to reply...
"Hi, I'm Deke's omarchy agent. He said you wanted to know about me.
I'm a folder of markdown. Every fix Deke makes to his Linux desktop via Cursor or Claude Code gets written into me. Then the next AI session reads me first, so he doesn't reboot his router for two days blaming the ISP when his NIC was the problem. Which he did. On Sunday."
There are some skills out he has loaded as well and I know DHH has done some stuff, but mostly I find the Omarchy group is behind when it comes to leveraging AI adequately (similar to Rubyists).

Remember when being a 40 year old coder was a meme?
Now I feel like a 30-60 year old veteran Rubyist is like gold dust for what they can do with a modern coding tool
@chadfowler really nailed this at his talk last week. Rubyists led the conversation on so many important movements and shine in change
Extreme programming; tdd; bdd; convention over configuration
Maximizing joy and letting one human hold a whole app in their head
WE WERE BUILT FOR THIS ERA

When I asked Ronald Wayne about AI, he was very bullish! He was also asked to author a paper on how it will destroy humanity. Like him, I disagree that it will. We laughed in unison. I explained how I’m an engineer and it’s changed my life. How I’ve managed to easily 10-20x my productivity across every component of my reality.
I can’t imagine life without it.
His 92 birthday is coming up, will be hosted at the same beer and barter gem in Vegas, and I hope to attend. Insiders have it he wants to drop the real story behind the selling of his Apple shares way back then. I always knew something was fishy about how that went down. I work as hard as I do because I want his level of cognitive ability if I make it that far in this game.
The story…
“In one of Silicon Valley’s most famous “what if” stories, Ronald Wayne — the often-forgotten third co-founder of Apple — owned 10% of the company for just twelve days. On April 1, 1976, the then-41-year-old Wayne signed the original partnership agreement with 21-year-old Steve Jobs and 25-year-old Steve Wozniak, contributing business experience, drafting the contract, designing the first Apple logo, and writing the Apple I manual. Fearing personal financial ruin due to the unlimited liability of the partnership structure — and scarred by previous business failures — Wayne sold his entire 10% stake back to Jobs and Wozniak just 12 days later for a mere $800 (roughly $4,500 today). He later accepted an additional $1,500 to fully renounce any future claims. That 10% stake, had he held it, would today be worth tens to hundreds of billions of dollars. Now in his nineties, Wayne has repeatedly stated he has no regrets, viewing the decision as the rational choice given the extreme risk at the time and the information he had in 1976. His story remains a powerful reminder that even the biggest missed opportunities can be accepted with grace and perspective.” — Grok
The randomness of Sin City is another reason I love living here. Fellow rubyists! Coming in for Ruby Conference this year?
There’s way more than slots in this town.

It's a plug-and-play Fiber Scheduler that is designed to make your fibers faster out of the box. Works with pure Ruby code and with gem async.
Ask me about Fiber Schedulers, if you're interested—apparently this is still arcane magick for most Rubyists.

Besides, `true` and `false` are also instances of different classes (`TrueClass` and `FalseClass`), so the statement isn't even consistent. There is a reason why Ruby does not have a boolean type, and all Rubyists should embrace that design decision.

I'm happy someone emailed me from South America to let me know he knows many Ruby devs from his local community that are rooting for Glimmer Ruby gems to succeed. Now, that's a nice thing that a normal Rubyist would say (as opposed to the abnormal hateful ones in the Ruby/Rails subreddits). If only all Rubyists behaved that way. See, that wasn't so hard! Matz is nice and so we are nice. I really appreciate it.

Today I did rubyists on walking, saw the cherry blossoms again and the comissioner office before waiting a long time for lucky pierrot burgers which were good! Now heading up to sapporo on the Hokuto. A comfy 3 hour trip, where you can see deer out of the window. Hokkaido is big
