Claude code can make a pretty good one I bet.

Hey, psst… 🤫 Don't tell anybody, but you've got less than a week left to submit your talk to Blue Ridge Ruby. 🤐 Seriously, mum's the word. And whatever you do, don't share this link… 😶‍🌫️

AI's Security Crisis: Why Your Assistant Might Betray You - Last Week in AWS Podcast

The most chilling line in this pod from @quinnypig.com and @simonwillison.net

"...a security vulnerability where you have to talk for five minutes to get the point across is one that people are gonna fall victim to"

Worth 30 min of your time (on 2x speed :)).

It was pretty amazing to learn about Figma's Ruby stack at the SF Ruby meetup on Tuesday 🔥
The recording is coming in a few days!

Kasper Timm Hansen “Hello! I’m Kasper, and I’ve been using Rails since 2011. I was on the Rails core team helping steer and maintain Rails itself from 2016-2022. I’ve got ~1750 commits to...

I've been working on sprucing up my website kaspth.com

Go ahead and sign my guestbook 😄

Friends,
Today we're announcing the San Francisco Ruby Conference taking place on November 19-20! A super special event brought to you by @evilmartians.com and our first sponsors, deeply committed to Ruby and Rails— Chime, @bolt.new and Gusto ❤️ #SFRuby

Shout it from the rooftops!

Time to start Scooby-dooing our avatar headshots like @thedayisntgray.bsky.social

Yes!

Yeah, that happened to me on my blog. Not fun to discover.

I agree, it is still really tough. The expectations are really high and it is definitely an employers market.

Many developers struggle to find a job and think it's a skill issue.

Sadly, in many cases it's a marketing issue.

The good news is that this takes far less time to fix.

@cloudflare.social pages is my favorite static site hosting platform.

I'm migrating my project off of github pages and aws s3 buckets.

It's just so much easier to manage.

LLMs are really great at writing legacy code.

Next time someone asks you what the difference between a terminal emulator and full linux environment is...

Have them try to install claude code on their terminal emulator and see how far they get.

What about tailwind?

Looking for a fractional technical AI advisor with a 100% Money back guarantee?

- High latency AI responses?
- RAG results not what you expect?
- Agent stuck in a loop?

I can help!

The nomenclature in AI gives me so much joy. 😂

Today I Learned: RAG + Fine-Tuning is a RAFT 🚣🏾

I'm convinced the only reasonable purpose for this is that someone has a really good sense of humor and wanted their CTO to say a bunch of funny words in a single sentence. 😉

Oh good catch. Generative ai fluke.

Coming soon to a github near you...

Ruby deserves great AI resources.

That’s why we created this corporate Ruby AI training.

If your Ruby organization is looking to build RAG applications or Agents we cover both!

I'm always grateful to the Ruby Weekly podcast whenever they feature my work.

It's a great resource for Rubyists to stay on top of community happenings.

Here is why I consider AI agents nothing more than software. I'm talking specifically about the pieces of software that do things in a pipeline to complete a task. Let's take booking a flight to Vancouver as an example task.

Made this landing page in a few minutes with a working signup link.

AI is making all my open source dreams come true.

I watched that. Good stuff.

I’m currently working on evals for a single response but planning on doing multi chat soon.

I had a wonderful experience using LLMs .

I pasted a small project into Claude and then carefully read the Dockerfile file

Then if I didn’t understand something I just asked the model.

Or if I wanted a docker command to do x,y,y… I just asked.

It literally felt like playing an interactive game…

Aeropress! Let’s go!

Do you bring it with you when you travel?

Videos are up for presentation night Feb 2025 on our site boulder-ruby.org and Youtube!

Thanks to @dnsimple.bsky.social's Anthony Eden and @thedayisntgray.bsky.social for presenting!
