- I am on a new work adventure. I gave my notice at GitHub and will be doing this full-time starting in April. The new job should be a nice combination of a cozy “this again” and some thrilling new.
- I finished reading Careless People; recommend as a good sequence of business trainwrecks that will leave you wondering if this one is penultimate trainwreck (spoiler: it’s not). Now I’m reading Wicked; I didn’t really like the beginning but it’s gotten more interesting.
- I finished Severance. Hopefully without spoilers, the consistent plot driver seems to be “Mark (yes) sucks”. So now just White Lotus and with palate cleansers of Say Yes to the Dress.
- I have been desultorily playing Bracket City; the scoring system generates no motivation for me but it’s fun to have found another use for the decades spent training my brain to parse deeply nested hierarchical syntax. I was also told that LinkedIn has games, and other than being “Faster than 95% of CEOs” at Queens, I have already lost my streak.
- I asked on Rails Performance Slack how to better delegate Rails model association accessors and got some good ideas.
- My RailsConf session proposal was accepted! See you there 🙌
