Finished my second week at Shopify. Exhilarated and exhausted. I need to slow down. Yes, I'm running Roundhouse against Shopify Core and making progress. Shopify is now sponsoring CI runners for Roundhouse.

A manager once told me to quit.
Today, I'm an official collaborator on roundhouse-rb with @samruby.
I’m not a programming genius. But I embraced AI, dropped the ego, and focused on progress.
Believe in yourself. Build. Create a better world.

more true than ever
A huge amount of the Anti-AI code sentiment massively overestimates the quality of human code outside of a very small set of open source and high quality company codebases. Human Slop is everywhere and can trivially be improved on by any opus level model.

@samsaffron @thsottiaux @yukihiro_matz Just want to mention in passing: pull requests with 37 fork commits are not unusual and welcomed, see github.com/roundhouse-rb/… for an example. roundhouse-rb.dev tracks a number of projects, it could track discourse too.

@Ruemic Good Idea + Bad Implementation is the sweet spot for community growth; the other three combinations don't work as well. I first learned this from @stefanomaz

Not a fan of the AI-generated prose? As ESR put it, "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch." Consider this yours. PRs welcome: github.com/rubys/roundhou…

I've been a casual contributor to @yukihiro_matz’s Spinel project, so I made a single page intro to the parts I found most interesting:
- What it does
- How it performs
- Its development pace
st0012.dev/spinel?v=1

This weekend I plan to move github.com/rubys/roundhou… to github.com/roundhouse-rb/ ; once done, I'll file the internal paperwork so that Shopify will sponsor GitHub hosted premium runners for CI.

Trust me, it is even more surprising when YOUR random project on GitHub is on the receiving end of a @tobi PR or issue comment. github.com/rubys/roundhou…
Always surprising to see @tobi's name pop up in the contributors list of some random project on Github. One of the few public CEOs clearly in it for the love of the game.

Heaven is where the compile speed is from Go, the safety from Rust, the performance from C++, the libraries from Python, the macros from Lisp, the stability from Java, the types from Haskell, the ubiquity from JavaScript, and the error handling from Elm.
