  "LLMs have democratized software development!" No, LLMs have democratized dependency. The frontier labs are using the same playbook as drug dealers. Give everyone cheap access to a replacement brain until individuals, businesses, and entire industries are dependent on it for their very existence, then jack up the prices and watch society burn.

  I've come to the understanding that if you're not constantly second-guessing your parenting decisions, you're probably not a very good parent.

  I don't understand why everybody likes TOML so much. It's so inflexible... but maybe that's the point?

  I'm thrilled to share that I'll be speaking at @rubyconf in Las Vegas this July! 🎉 This year's program is exploring some genuinely exciting territory: community, craft, and the beautifully weird corners of Ruby. Can't wait to be part of the conversation. See you July 14–16! #RubyConf2026

  Post about a cool OSS project it took me 4mo to make: zero engagement. Post about speaking at RubyConf about a cool OSS project I'm working on: zero engagement. Post a Calvin and Hobbes strip from 1995: Thousands of favorites and boosts. At least now I know what the people want!

  Companies like Cloudflare mandate and incentivize AI usage, then cut staff when AI usage inevitably explodes. If you didn't think AI was about jobs, think again. https://blog.cloudflare.com/building-for-the-future/

  I just filled out Planet Argon's Rails community survey, and you should too! https://railsdeveloper.com/survey/

  "Compilers write code for you, just like LLMs!" Ok bro, tell me again how GCC is being wielded as a tool by the extraction class to take 50% of white collar jobs. Protip: you won't, because you can't.

  Look, if you want to write some code with an LLM, fine. You shouldn't, but fine. However you absolutely do not get to say *you* wrote it. You didn't. The computer wrote it for you. If I buy a car from Honda, I don't get to say I made the car. It's the same principle. We have to stop normalizing language like "I made x with Claude." No you didn't. Better: "I paid Anthropic to write x for me." The former is intellectual dishonesty.

  There's this Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin's dad says that if we actually wanted more leisure time, we'd invent machines that did things more slowly, and I think about it all the time.

  Today my neighbor needed to borrow a flash drive because the refurbished Windows laptop she bought from Best Buy didn't have wireless drivers installed and I was like, "wow, welcome to 2005."

  There is no such thing as being "ethical to a fault." Sticking to your ethics even when it doesn't benefit you is the whole point of ethics.

  Normalize replacing "Claude" with "Clod" every time you see it.

  Dunking on Anthropic is so fun and I am absolutely here for it. But we would all be dunking on them even harder if they 𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘯'𝘵 used Claude Code to develop Claude Code 🤣

  I tried to use Copilot to fix a segfault in a side project last night. It produced a working but inefficient solution, and I ended up having to fix the issue myself. This happens like every single time I try to use one of these things. They're almost always net-negatives on my productivity.
