It’s time I crank up the search for new work to 11, because wow I really need it.

Bottom line: you bring me aboard your web publishing or software team because there are many fires vying for your attention and I figure out which ones to put out first.

Just saw the new #Ruby web site. It looks nicer than the previous but something—I can’t quite put my finger on it—tells me that Ruby is now all but officially the Rails language. Which is a shame because Ruby is a great general purpose language. It could’ve been an awesome CLI language. It could've been a great data processing language. It's OK to put nebulous and abstract things like happiness and beauty before other things but not acknowledging any of the practical aspects leaves it for taking by outside forces.

It also clings to MINASWAN and puts Dave right next to Matz. 🙈 🙉 🙊

I wrote a new blog post about how to get #Hanami to work smoothly with a dockerized local development Postgres database:
