Knee-deep as I am in this year's exam season, I am so over the adult-centric nature of children's education.
e.g. the forced delineation of knowledge into subjects, to fit the career path and interests of "a geography teacher", "a physics teacher".
see also: schedules that fit with an adult not a teenage brain; lack of real application of overwhelmingly theoretical teaching; subjects designed only to help the minority who study further; assessment oriented to career, not child, progression.
Here is what I love about tech people. Most of us don’t get old and stop being excited about new things. I don’t know that I’ve ever met a programmer complaining about kids these days.
We tend to be excited for what’s next. As forty looms, I hope I always keep that.
For #railsconf I have a promo code for the ebook version of Programming Ruby 3.3 (the Pickaxe book).
It’s 35% off at https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby5/programming-ruby-3-3-5th-edition/ with code railsconf2024.
The print version is available at https://amzn.to/3QxLP5o (sorry, I don’t have a promo code for that).
On my way to Detroit for #RailsConf2024 and I'm excited! This will be my first conference in ~ten years that I'm not also working at.
Just going to enjoy it, learn something, talk with old #rubyfriends, hack, eat BBQ, see a ballgame ...
Jobs can’t love you back. You can’t work for a publicly traded company and think they won’t fire you the second they think it will make them more money to do so.

First leg of flight to RailsConf got delayed enough that I won't make the connection. New connection involves a 6hr layover, an overnight flight, a 3hr layover, and then an early-morning flight to Detroit.
Assuming all goes well, we're looking at just under 6 hours from landing in Detroit to presenting. This is gonna be a fascinating adventure! #RailsConf
Level up your web performance in 3 simple steps:
1. Install real-user-monitoring to capture browser load times (don't forget to instrument route changes, DOM manipulation in SPA too)
2. Decide on good load time/bad load time standard
3. Set automated alerts for bad load times
Added an absolutely vital option to a Rails Survey 2024 question which the folks over at Planet Argon overlooked 😂
