It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 6 Jan 2009 (via @twi_age).

Soβ¦why are y'all still here supporting Q-witter and a far-right oligarch? π
There are other ways to communicate and engage online. Better ways. Healthier ways. Safer ways.

Please don't feel bad if you see that I've unfollowed you. I'm systematically unfollowing everyone, hopefully finding you on other open platforms at the same time.
If you're concerned we haven't connected yet, feel free to DM me your open web profile!

Peace out y'all.
I'm not going to participate on the same timeline as T***p in this universe or any other.
You can look in my bio to see where to follow me elsewhere. I'll be deleting this account some time in the next few weeks.
Sure sorry it's come to this. I really am.

Not gonna lie: everything that's been happening lately with social media is causing me to rethink my business plans.
I've been working on a paid CSS course which I'd hoped to release early next year, but was largely dependent on a huge marketing blitzβ¦

CW youth vote in the U.S.:
It seems to me that one of the biggest takeaways from the mid-terms this year is that young people turned up in droves to vote! This is incredible!
I'm so proud of Gen Z and my fellow Millennials for making a huge differenceβ¦

Just a reminder, I'm not really posting here anymore and I'm not giving E.M. the Ridiculous a single penny of my hard-earned money.
Life is grand over on the open web, you should try it!

Itβs really a shame to see the outrageous handling of #TwitterLayoffs. As seems typical these days, on the spectrum of βsmart, compassionateβ to βshort-sided, assholicβ, Elon swung way to the latter.
Hey, maybe soon Parag *wonβt* be worst Twitter CEO ever anymore! π

Every time I hear of a discussion of βwhere do I put my business logic in my Rails appβ I wonder why we even need to discuss this. π
The answer is right in the Rails readme! Like, right there! In clear and unambiguous terms!

Now if you donβt like that and want to create some other structure, sure! Just like people will add RSpec for testing, or ViewComponent.
But the default βRails wayβ is quite clear, and I get frustrated when people donβt accurately communicate this.
