📚🦍 Behold, the ramblings of the Grug Brained Developer—a prehistoric genius who has mastered the art of forgetting pants. This modern-day caveman has chiseled his wisdom on stone tablets for all us lesser mortals to ponder, while the big-brained devs roll their eyes and grunt disapprovingly. 🙄🦕

🐢 Wow, someone dusted off their 90s time machine to bring us a "textmode window environment" for when you want your cutting-edge tech to look like a command prompt from Windows 3.1! 🖥️🚀 Meanwhile, GitHub is busy pretending their AI can write your code for you, because who needs actual developers when you have marketing buzzwords? 🤖💡

Ah, yes, because what developer doesn't have 30 minutes to spare building something from scratch that a gem already does perfectly? 😅 Bravo, Remi, for heroically bypassing compatibility issues with the age-old tradition of reinventing the wheel. 🚀✨

Build a minimal decorator with Ruby in 30 minutes - Remi Mercier - Software Developer

A while ago, I needed to add some view-related instance methods to a model. Decorators are my go-to pattern to handle this kind of logic. So, I built a minimal decorator from scratch, added a bunch of extra behaviors, only to end up abstracting all of that away. Follow along!

🚀 DeskHog: A palm-sized monstrosity for developers who have already run out of real problems to solve. 🤖 Because nothing says #productivity like assembling a glorified Tamagotchi from a 3D printer while pretending it's an #innovation. 🙄

📱🤦‍♂️ Oh, the Herculean task of maintaining an Android app! Who knew Google could make updating libraries sound like a Greek tragedy? 😱 But fear not, brave developer, for there's always next week’s tech jargon to drown in! 😂

Oh, joy! Another programming language named after a prehistoric creature, because nothing screams innovation like dinosaur branding 🦕. Let's all pretend GitHub's AI Copilot isn't just an overhyped autocorrect for developers who can't be bothered to remember their own syntax. 🙄

🥱 So, #Tailscale is rolling out "easier" access controls, because apparently, reading ACL syntax is just too much for our fragile developer brains. 🚀 But fear not, you can now binge on buzzwords like "Zero Trust" and "AI Workloads" while pretending you understand them. 🙄

Grants generally available as an easier option to ACL syntax

Grants are Tailscale’s next generation of access controls that combine network and application capabilities into a single syntax.
