@justip @pewterbaw To add to this, take a pair of scissors to the sides of a large ziplock bag, and you'll get a piece that's thick enough to be reused many times and doesn't stick to itself.
@Ryanbigg Mondays.

My new business website is now live!

I'm still looking for a new client ... I can help with anything #Ruby / #Rails / #Hotwire / Web development. I've written THE book on the topic: The Rails and Hotwire Codex.

Get in touch if you'd like to work with me or have any leads!

@ludicity Generally speaking, the developers that I've worked with have all exhibited basic competency. But the discipline to diagnose and solve complicated problems in numerous domains—as opposed to relying on the ol' stab-in-the-dark method—was a pretty rare skill pre-COVID and it seems to have gotten markedly worse since.
@thomasfuchs I wonder if that's a lazy artifact of being primarily delivered on floppy. (Had a quick search and it looks like it was split across 13! The biggest program I can remember ever installing was 6 disks, but that was early days of computing for me.)
@thomasfuchs +1 on Hetzner; happy to share an Ansible playbook that does some securing / sets up deploy-on-git-push if it's helpful too.

Jared is awesome and so frickin' smart. You want Jared on your team.

@thomasfuchs 💯 -- the other times it feels like 'we'd sure find it convenient if you believed there's no hope in fighting against this.'
