Today at work I presented in my usual slapdash style in front of company founder, Tim O'Reilly, as one does. #TodayIDid
Today I sent the first rough cut of an obvious spinoff of my RSpec book to Leanpub; stay tuned 😏 #TodayIDid #IndiePublishing #Ruby #TDD

Shout out to Bear, Alfred, Things, Acorn, Rogue Amoeba, Panic, Omni and all the other small indie Mac shops still making excellent, stable software that does a job and gets out of the way.

Yesterday I got clickable hashtags working on the Bluesky side of my little learning-out-loud app. This is the first time I've ever written a client for the socials; I had no idea that the bsky API was so complex. #TodayIDid

Announcing the Monorepo.

We’re switching to a monorepo out of the rspec/rspec repository on Github. The main branch is a combination of all the repos main branches, dev is rebased on this during the transition phase with the intent of main becoming the default when this is complete.

Please switch any git dependencies to at least main if not dev on that repo, for the full story:

Introducing the RSpec monorepo, and some updates on the future of RSpec.

Today, I mean yesterday, I spent most of the day outside working on my little Victory Over Billionaires garden instead of sitting at a computer. Photos forthcoming once I add image attachment support to my little app. #TodayIDid
(take 2): Today I added external link support to my little learn-out-loud app, apparently a thing that Bluesky needs special? To test, here's a link to Austin Kleon's Steal Like an Artist: https://austinkleon.com/steal-audiobook-trilogy/
The Steal Like An Artist Audio Trilogy - Austin Kleon

An audio compilation of my bestselling books about creativity in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work! and Keep Going.

If you've got a personal website where you blog, share your learnings, or do other cool stuff, drop it in this thread.

It doesn't even need to be software development specific (but if it's not, mention the theme in your reply)

The open web of "people doing cool stuff" is something worth reclaiming.

(Second test from my learning-out-loud cross-poster to see if I fixed the Bluesky issue. Sorry to be such a spammer.)
