Señor developer from 🇫🇷 living in 🇲🇽, and mostly posting in 🇬🇧.
I like programming with different languages, and tech. Also into roller skating, photography, gardening, and being a lucky bastard.

Peut-être que Rails n'a pas besoin d'une réorganisation, et que la communauté pourrait se tourner vers d'autres outils comme Hanami, ou encore Roda.
Peut-être que Ruby n'a plus besoin de Rubygems, et qu'un modèle moins centralisé (comme le proposent Zig, ou Go) serait intéressant.
Peut-être que c'est ce que redoutent tous ceux qui viennent de dévoiler qui dirige maintenant la communauté Ruby.
Ce qui est sûr c'est que tant que DHH publie des posts racistes, je ne toucherai pas à ses projets.

I have a suggestion: If you have a project or repo that's getting popular, stop writing features for a few months and implement this instead.
They say OpenStruct is slow, but I guess it can still beat Rspec's double in lots of scenarios where you need a quick throwaway object. 🤔

(🗯️ Yes, please do tell me about how Struct is better.)
This article from Salma really resonates with me and honestly explains why I'm such a curmudgeon about AI code assistant tools. Anytime I scoff at using them, inevitably someone says something along the lines of "But they're coming! they're all getting better!" Sure, I'll wait for that day then.
I am eager for the days where I'm not spending time reminding people to add their missing alt text, or to convert a div to a button where appropriate. The basics. AI is not solving those problems for us. It's either making them worse or just doing them in weirder ways.
It's not affording me time to write the fun parts of code. Or enabling what I think is truly possible: that accessibility is at the root of more creative and more loved software tools. If anything, I find these AI tools are making less space for it. My advocacy is now not just "Here is why you should make accessible software" but ALSO "Here are the dangers of using AI tools to write your software". As Salma says, that promise wasn't kept.
@searls This is perfectly fine if "Works" is the only metric that matters. 👍
Free Internet Advice: don't settle for "Works", both you, and some LLMs, can do better than this.
From time to time I login to #linkedin, 👍 a few posts from colleagues, ex-colleagues, etc. I can't shake the feeling of vacuity.
Social networks are often self aggrandizing propaganda machines, of course. Some do carry over friendships, or a sense of belonging though (bubbles!).
I want to show these folks that what they're up to matters to me, b/c it does! I just think LinkedIn is the worst place to express that: professional achievements are strange goal posts among friends. 🤔
