Can you imagine what #ruby would look like if code of conduct violations were actually enforced? Especially against our white supremacists? Refreshing to be reminded that world could exist if we wanted it.

When I saw #Python code like:

processed = map(normalize, map(clean, filter(is_valid, items)))

I immediately realized why Pythonistas believe that list comprehensions read better. I'm really surprised they didn't add some form of pipeline chaining to make such transformations more natural.

Not a big deal, but after so much #Ruby, #Clojure and #OCaml my mind really struggles to parse such code.

I was laid off recently so I'm looking for a new job!

I have a decade of experience as a web backend dev writing APIs in Python and Ruby in a variety of frameworks. I'm usually the git and Postgres expert on the team, and if you leave me alone I'll start writing tests and doing security updates. Used to help run PyLadies Vancouver, now PyCascades.

Looking for: full-remote, hiring in Canada, minimal LLM nonsense

• #Python is written in C
  - #Perl is written in C
  - #Ruby is written in C
  - #PHP is written in C
  - #JavaScript engines started in C, now mostly in C++
  - #Go was first in C, now written in Go itself
  - #C++ compilers are written in C++
  - #Swift is built with C++ and Swift (on LLVM in C++)
  - #C# runs on .NET, built in C++/C#
  - #JVM (HotSpot) is written in C++

  Yet, people still doubt the necessity of learning C!

The #RailsWorld tag is a good filter for finding out who in the #Ruby community is a-okay with transphobia and racism.

Strong Service is Strong. We need more gems like this that push the boundary of what's possible.

But I have to say, this much touted DSL looks suspiciously like plain old Ruby 🕵️

After 3 years at Shopify, I was just told they’re letting me go.

Due to my immigration status here in the US, I pretty much need a job right away. Remote preferred but also open to hybrid/in-person roles (Boulder/Denver metro). If you know anyone who’s hiring (and ideally sponsoring H-1B), I’d love to connect! Boosts much appreciated 🙏

A bit about me: 8+ years of experience, primarily in backend. Most recently worked on Shopify’s checkout platform, focusing on Shop Pay, used by millions of shoppers and handles billions in transactions annually.
