#SilentSunday this is the best grave marker ever and I saw it today.
In other words, if Amazon tries these tactics in the USA now, their union will be immediately recognized. Abruzzo has installed an ultra-sensitive tilt-sensor in America's union elections, and if Bezos or his class allies so much as sneeze in the direction of their workers' democratic rights, they automatically lose.

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.
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).
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.

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 ...
I ate 4 slices of this and I am now filled with both pizza and mild regret.
