We have this knowledge-sharing meeting at work. Once a week colleagues share random bits of work that they think others could learn from. In that meeting you can also ask any question about the codebase and you'll get a profound answer. It's one of my favorite times of the week.

However, over the last couple of weeks I noticed a new pattern emerged and it has to do with #ai. Colleagues would preface their questions with "I know I could also Cursor/Claude the same question but maybe someone here knows...".

We're a fully remote company, there are very little human touch points like this and now people start feeling like they cannot ask another human a technical question. It really saddens me.

The essence of this meeting is human knowledge exchange, making real connections. I don't want this to be outsourced as well.

🌸 Here’s your State of Hanami for 2025.

We took our first steps into a new era: we made a substantial release, began unifying our ecosystem, launched our sponsorship program, and saw a real uptick in community activity.

After the recent Rubygems drama, I felt anxious, and trapped, frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.

I found myself grieving, and mourning the future I grew up thinking we would have; but also feeling hope, that it’s not too late to stop enabling these people, and start choosing kindness.

I wrote about these feelings. Join me in building a better future:

I have some consulting capacity available the coming months. I have a proven track record of making tech teams more effective, through a combination of technical and non-technical work. I work around communication and documentation, dev experience, architecture, alignment between biz and the dev team, and software/product development process, as well as doing staff-level engineering work.

DMs are open! Ping me if you like to have a chat!

Bill Gates saying that "Climate change is not going to wipe out humanity" and efforts to fight climate change should be shifted elsewhere is like saying nuclear war won't wipe out humanity, so we shouldn't invest efforts in arms control or diplomacy.

I know from personal experience that Gates has always misunderstood and minimized the threat of climate change. But this also reflects how insulated the truly rich are from the consequences the rest of the world is already experiencing.
