I can spot Samsung panels from a distance because they've always got a nausea-inducing motion "enhancement". No idea if this is a setting or always on because it's such a turnoff that I'll never purchase one.
it's a setting. We have a Samsung and out of the box it was awful, just like every other modern TV, but with the goofy bullshit turned off it looks amazing.
(How did we decide on it if the defaults are terrible? A neighbor bought the same one on sale and figured it out ahead of me.)
Depends on your installation method. I have CC installed on macOS with `bun install` and it self-updates. But you could have different results with, oh, npm or yarn or homebrew or nix or probably asdfvm or maybe there’s a native .pkg I don’t know about or…you get the idea.
Quickly followed by folks talking about a warm and welcoming community. Which in fairness, is true! DHH is the counterexample. Platforming him in 2025 seems nonsensical.
Ah yes, the "fuck your feelings" reductive response.
But no, what I meant to get at is that DHH's ego is radioactive. RailsConf tried to open their keynote to having Maybe Perhaps Someone Else Talk Sometime and DHH's response was, as it were, [off the rails](https://world.hey.com/dhh/no-railsconf-faa7935e). RailsWorld started the next year and, happy to have DHH keynote, took off. RailsConf swiftly died.
If you're running an ecosystem with a vocal community, is that a fire you want to play with?
His posts, his statements, his treatment of other people, yes, he advocates for things which cause harm to others. The term is stochastic terrorism. He creates a welcoming space _to people who are accepting of his bigoted ideology_ which gives some nice publicity, but is not creating a kind and welcoming community.
GitLab CI is _excellent_. Github Actions has come a long way, but a few years back it was absolutely painful working with GA when I had GitLab CI for reference.
I'm glad this was reposted, and would love it to be kept up. This thread has brought me a lot of clients over the years, some of whom I'm now happy to consider friends.
I do sometimes crosspost to seeking work/who's hiring, and sometimes not, depending on needs and market. They're for different things.
SEEKING WORK | Remote/Denver, CO [MT/UTC-6] | Technical Leadership for Scaling Teams | Process Transformation | AI Security
I help Series A-C startups navigate technical chaos and scaling challenges. After 7 years consulting both directly and through agencies (and decades of engineering work), I specialize in organizations experiencing transitions - post-funding growth, leadership changes, or strategic pivots.
I can sling code--and I can help your org by:
- Transforming chaotic delivery through listening-first process design (I discover what YOUR team needs, whether that's Shape Up, incentive realignment, or custom approaches)
- Identifying and fix incentive misalignments that sabotage delivery (saved one client $300k+ in unnecessary architecture changes)
- Guiding secure AI tool adoption without blowing up your business
- Bridging technical excellence with organizational transformation
My average engagement is ~6 months across 15+ clients.
Recent wins:
- Delivered project ahead of schedule during company layoffs using Shape Up
- Established cross-team coordination that unblocked a multiyear replatforming effort
- Prevented costly microservices migration by identifying vendor's misaligned incentives
Technical foundation: Ruby/Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, comprehensive DevOps (AWS/Terraform/Docker), AI security expertise. But I'm hired for my ability to see why your technical initiatives keep failing and fix the root causes.
I thrive in chaos. If your organization is at an inflection point and needs someone who can deliver immediate technical value while building lasting capabilities, let's talk.
And I want to offer some contrast—not as a rebuttal, but just as a reminder that there’s lots of different ways to navigate this strange field.
The _majority_ of the paid code delivery I’ve done for a decade+ has been in Ruby. (The balance has been a mix of mostly devops and some TS/JS and Elixir.)
Remote work has been an utter boon. Admittedly, I do feel like it’s got worse since Covid. But I’ve been able to work with people all across the globe without uprooting my family and leaving my community, and conversely can travel without having to leave my job or clientele.
And I do find that some places benefit from thinking hard about their process. Small senior teams do great with Shape Up. Projects where you have a non-negotiable scope (replatforms) and work streams that are more reactive than planned do better with kanban than something involving estimates.
That’s not to say the author’s wrong! Again, just that the world is wide and experiences differ.
Some context here: I’ve consulted full time almost continuously since 2018, which certainly colors my experience.
Lots of judgment all over this thread. I vote more of us listen to anecdotes like this one here, from someone whose long and successful relationship is based on wanting the best for someone else--who they recognize as human and fallible--even when that means change.
If you want marriage to mean that your partner will never change, or that the 100% match on the inside what you think they are looking from the outside, you're gonna have a hard time. This discussion is just further down the continuum than most.
(Exceptions made for arranged marriages and the like; the primary purpose there isn't romantic love-based companionship, so there isn't a pretense to shatter.)
