MINASWAN for me, not for thee.

I keep feeling like RC's comms would go a lot better for them if they stopped the corporate-comms routine, and spoke in a genuine manner to the Ruby community _as a a member of the community_.

In 2023, I participated in a 🏍️ event that had an extremely strict No Social Media policy.. 2 weeks offline, and I came back to X and algorithms pushing Nazis, and... I just never really found my way back to any of it.

(If you're at RubyConf and haven't gotten a gen-u-ine Kerri sticker, come by and say hi! Y'all know how to find me 🌈 )

Any piece of code can be imagined as a line. It's a journey. It’s like a google map overlay showing the route between two points. You can’t see all the hairpin turns until you zoom in. The impulse to extract code into smaller pieces, to give a code block a good name for better understanding, to simplify, is like zooming out on the map -- you’re cutting away the little cul de sacs and winding turns that are required for tactical reasons, but obscure the strategic code.

Pssst! Any intermediates/almost senior Rubyists looking for work? I got a cool lead.
