life is f**king incredible. cows turn grass into ribeyes, trees turn sunlight into oxygen, fruits and coconuts, water falls from the sky and dogs exist. we get to do literally anything we want with our life, fall in love with someone who was a stranger and somehow sex with them makes new life forms. God is real, magic exists, manifestation works, and love always finds a way. dont fall for the doomer shit. we live in a magical dreamscape, dont waste it.
If you take nothing else from this post, remember this one idea: BYOP is not about hiding. It’s about learning how to be hidden in plain sight.
Privacy isn’t about hiding. It’s about resilience. I’m exploring a simple idea I call Bring Your Own Privacy (BYOP) — small habits that reduce digital risk without turning life into a paranoia ritual. Manifesto + first post here: [fbuys.dev/blog/posts/202…]
A massive advantage in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.
Major cheat code for life: Be patient with yourself when you’re trying to become someone you’ve never been. You’ll feel lost, unsure, and tempted to quit. Don't. Change feels chaotic because your old self is fighting for survival. Expect it to be a battle. But also expect to win.
Happiness is having better problems. Success is having better failures. Discipline is having better addictions.
Shouldn't this be default in #rubyonrails? I always do this in every app, am I missing something obvious?
Time flies, and half-birthdays arrive. Get 40% off my Practical Object-Oriented Design I (POOD-I) course (with free study groups!) and the 99 Bottles of OOP book through Dec 13th. 50% of profits go to Habitat for Humanity. Let's build someone a house. sandimetz.com/birthday
Working with Ruby Curses recently gave me a whole new appreciation for how editors like Neovim work under the hood. Managing the screen, handling input, keeping everything responsive… Wild how a low-level tool can suddenly illuminate a whole world you’ve used for years. ⚡️
I’m no longer a dark mode maximalist. (Some) Light mode can be beautiful too. ☀️ Funny how things eventually balance out — even our eyes know when it’s time for light.
@pragdave I still agree with @sandimetz Duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction -Sandi Metz
I bought a Casio F-91W. No apps. No notifications. Just time. I didn’t buy it for nostalgia, I bought it for what it represents: • Authenticity • Function over features • Buying things that last In tech and in life: Find what is essential and do it well.
TIL: Rake isn’t just like Make… it’s actually inspired by it. It threw me back to the very first language I learned, C, and wondering why make was shouting errors at me. 😂 I ❤️how Ruby basically said: “Cool idea. Let’s make it readable.”
Need to upgrade? Low test coverage? We've been there. @francoisbuys has tips from embracing tiny PRs to the safety of bug trackers, we've got your back: go.fastruby.io/d00
Want to see how we help companies with Rails upgrades? Take a look at our new blog post: fastruby.io/blog/upgrades/…
One of the clearest signs of intelligence is being interested in other people’s perspectives. 95% of people I meet aren’t. Crazy.
The CSS Working Group is debating over the best way to define nesting in CSS, and want your input! Which do you like best? You can vote in the official poll here: webkit.org/blog/13607/hel…
I also added the open-props configuration (open-props.style). It's new to me, but I think it will be a good starting point for the simple design system I have in mind for the website.
I set the templating engine to erb (github.com/ruby/erb) because I am already familiar with how Rails uses erb.
I have a personal website at francoisbuys.com that I've been meaning to revamp for a while now. Recently, I discovered @bridgetownrb and decided it was time to bring the website back to life! #learninginpublic
