Had a great first day at RBQ Conf (a local Austin Ruby conference)

On to day two…

I’ve been doing a lot more AI Agent coding lately. My pair programming experience comes in quite handy, especially around proactively monitoring what the agent is doing and knowing when to step in and retake control.

But another thing that I appreciate is the ability to flip the usual roles and have the AI Agent “navigate” what we are doing, while I actually perform the tasks. If I’m typing/copying/pasting the code, shell commands, etc., then I am able to give them my full attention and code review. And the AI Agent is won’t be able to trick me into doing something very stupid or dangerous (most of the time!).

Hanging out at the XO Ruby Austin conference today. I’ve run into a lot of old faces and some new ones as well. It’s great to see the Ruby community and how welcoming it has always been.

Kitty Cohen’s happy hour all day Monday-Wednesday this summer

This silly game is more fun than I expected. I’m a big Picross/nonogram fan.

Wow, jj is an impressive tool for going beyond Git for version control. I’m going to try to incorporate it into my daily workflow right away.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing.

I grew up in Oklahoma City, and felt the blast that day from 15 miles away at my middle school.

On the 10th anniversary, in 2005, I wrote a short article about my personal experience.

I definitely recommend a pour of their house Amaro Campanella to pair with dessert.
