Canned Dragons

The Ruby on Rails conference, Rails World 2026, has been much discussed, more for what it left out than what it contained (the keynote hardly mentioned the technology the conference was designed around). From Ronan Limon Duparcmeur at 2-45.pm, regarding DHH’s keynote.

Obviously, this was a weird keynote, as I’ve said. It felt off to me. It has to be the first time that the opening keynote of the official event about “the latest features and best practices” of a piece of technology doesn’t mention said piece of technology, tells the participants that their jobs are now obsolete, and ends on the appeal to not “be a loser”.

Duparcmeur remarks about the keynote being more about DHH himself, and his current interests. “Who knows, there may be people who are into DHH himself, like a Temu Elon Musk.”

I don’t remember how I acquired this CD but something tells me I wasn’t the first owner.

I’ve gotten myself in a confused state with regard to my RSS and social media feeds.

1. I’m using Reeder, which allows you to follow RSS, Mastodon, Bluesky and Micro.blog feeds. I’m following all four of those in a jumble.
2. I’m also using Indigo, which can follow Bluesky and Mastodon feeds.
3. I like the native experience, so I’m using the Bluesky app and site. I also use the Micro.blog app and site.

All this means I see posts multiple times. Since I’m only really using one RSS reader (Reeder), disentangling from this mess will mostly mean being more deliberate about my social media following. I’ll have to unwind where I’m following what people, which could take a while.

Matt Birchler just released an Obsdian theme called “Bircharoo” and it’s quite well done.

Nice little touches like some animation and Phosphor icons. Worth a look if you use the PKM app.
