On Labor Day, remember that as a developer, @realDonaldTrump would only use non union laborers, often failed to pay them for their work & violated contractual agreements. As POTUS, he's weakened workers' rights, union & non-union. He has the worst job growth history since Hoover.

Tell you what, as an extra bite of floor chicken, developer Poncle treats its staff with respect, doesn’t underpay, and is explicitly run in a manner counter to growth-obsessed corpo behemoths.
Oh, and it enjoys massive success that such behemoths want to copy but will never understand.

Dog if you are spending several hours a week on refactors and boilerplate, what you desperately need is more practice writing clean code. Using LLMs to skip that step isn't saving you time, it's hamstringing your growth as a developer.

With AI agents' development, I'm feeling a dramatic change for my growth path as a software developer. And I think that's something contributing to the industry and Ruby community's anxiety/frustration too. So I wrote a post to capture my thoughts:

Even worse: the real estate developer, Jeff Pori, plans to build a road on the land. The road will link property he owns adjacent to Yosemite to the park’s main road and cut through old growth forest.
Pori’s firm has previously coordinated a real estate financing deal with Howard Lutnick’s firm.

you want to encourage healthy skepticism because that fosters growth through self-examination, yes. but it’s just stupid to try stoking skepticism about things that are extremely achievable, and have recently been done, when the mayor isn’t a republican cop pro-developer scumbag.
