    I’m taking a step back from my open source and the Ruby community for my own mental health. I won’t be attending anymore conferences or meetups. I’ll still be pushing releases and responding to issues and PRs for my clients.

    🚀 Rails hasn’t had much tooling for AI… until now. I’m thrilled to announce Active Agent, the AI framework built specifically for Ruby on Rails. With Active Agent, you can ship AI-powered features in less than 10 lines of code. It’s an abstract controller like Action Mailer,

    @elonmusk as an early adopter of @Tesla using AP 1.0 AP 2.5 for over over 50K total AP miles I can contribute more than just my experience as an engineer but also an avid user. My X even saved my life; tow truck driver said it was a 70° slope surprised I stopped and didn’t flip.

    I was unharmed and there was minimal damage to the car. Happened 9/28/2019 during a freezing cold lightning storm, I climbed out at night. CHP drove me to a motel and I came back the next day. Here’s a sentry mode event the next morning capturing a friendly PG&E lineman checking

    No the car wasn’t on autopilot and this road is notoriously dangerous. There was a truck a few hundred feet further down. Any other car would have flipped and gone much further down. Autopilot emergency braked as soon as I went off the road and the extreme slope. Saving my life.

    I remember my last office job, 2012-2013, where i was considered some kind of rebel by my peers for… going on walks. Those walks were some of my best thinking and ultimately helped me do my best work for that company.

    Working on finalizing Action Prompt this morning — one component of ActiveAgents.ai that renders views into messages sent to either your agent class or user. Considering doing a stream later this week if anyone is still interested.

    1:1 meetings should be less about the work, more about the other person. Using 1:1 meetings as a way to get tasks done that could be done async is just missing the point. Connect with the people you work with. Build trust and you’ll be able to communicate and collaborate better.
