I did not survive the #Amazon #layoffs today.

If youโ€™re looking for an energetic #Rubyist hamster who is interested in figuring out hard problems people havenโ€™t solved before, with a track record of doing it at scale, hit me up. Iโ€™m also interested if youโ€™re only looking for a fractional CTO to help your company out part time. Or some other collaborative role that might otherwise be hard to describe.

Hey #RubyFriends, as jaded as I am about the state of our "community" right now, we still have awesome people having real, scary challenges. Ross has driven my favorite local #Ruby meetup for ages, played a part in the legendary #RubyMidwest events, and is an all around great human. I am sorry it took me this long to put this into even this tiny bit of words.

A bit of a life update: I will be getting a benign brain tumor (5cm/2in) removed tomorrow (Thursday). After today, it might be awhile before I post again. They aren't able to tell how extensive the surgery will be until they get into it, and that will determine how much brain fog and general recovery process I'll have.

Also this is a subtoot so I have deliberately not tagged anyone. Because I am not trying to stir up anything.

But uhhh..... comms around this whole thing have been adversarial since day one, and we're all #RubyFriends here. We can increase the bus factor without demonizing people.

If there's anyone approaching anything looking like an adversary, it's DHH. :\

Photo wrap up from @rockymtnruby, it was a blast. I am thankful to be back home, but it was a great experience to catch up with so much of the #ruby community!
