Compliments are a reflection of the light you are putting out into the world.

Accept them graciously by recognizing that other people have a better view of your aura than your inner critic does.

@rockymtnruby happened last week! Nothing like 150 #RubyFriends getting together to love on #ruby! @Fito and I were honored to kick things off with our "Brewer's Guide" talk! And our colleague Liz Heym gave her first conference talk! Great conference!

Hey Rubyists!

With the resurgence of regional Ruby conferences, I'm wondering whether or not there's interest in GoRuCo or GoGaRuCo making a comeback.

I'd also love to be connected with the former organizers of those conferences.

It was my privilege to give a lightning talk called "A Gardener's Reward" at RailsConf this week. My friend @Fito was kind enough to record it. You can find the video and transcript here: https://the.codegardener.com/a-gardeners-reward. It's only a 4 minute talk. Enjoy!

It's always been a dream of mine to travel to South America to visit friends and make new ones! And, I love talking about software complexity and how to remove it! So, this is going to be a fantastic trip! Will also be speaking at the Montevideo Ruby Meetup on 4/1 if you're in the area!

This is the kind of thing that discriminates against the less fortunate in the US. How many billionaires need the tax break on $2700 so much that they track ecvery penny of their medical expenses and keep the receipts?

Years ago, US tax law created the Flexible Spending Account - a place where pre-tax money is held to purchase medical services or supplies.

These accounts come complete with administrators whose job it is to assume you are committing fraud every time you spend your own money.

I've been seeing the same dentist for 12 years. Every dental co-pay I make results in my card being deactivated until I prove that the guy with DDS after his name is still in the business of yanking teeth. WTF!? WHY?!

@zenspider There was a RubyCentral organized meeting today for Meetup organizers and would be organizers. We decided to meet again in a month. Would you, or anyone else from seattle.rb, be interested in joining in January to discuss how RubyCentral can help foster a more vibrant Ruby meetup community?

I've now spoken at 4 consecutive RubyCentral conferences. First to 30 people, then 80, then 150. Last week I spoke to over 300 people at #RubyConf2023.

If you'd like to know what that's like, have I got an article for you:

In 20+ years of writing automated tests, I've written my fair share of flakes. My personal nemesis is Daylight Saving Time. I cannot tell you how many times I've tripped over it. Let's just say I'm well into the "shame on me" portion of that relationship...

Or, I was. Then I found the secret ingredient that nearly all flaky tests have in common. Come hear me spill the beans at RubyConf in November in San Diego!
