Hey peeps! I am looking for a new full-time role as a Senior Product Engineer or Tech Lead, specialising in Ruby on Rails.
For the past couple of years, I have been building Cammi — a set of tools designed to help people who are neurodivergent get unstuck and work toward things that really matter to them. Now that it has launched and can continue in the background, I am ready to bring everything I have learned back into a collaborative product team. I have written more about that decision on my blog, linked in the comments.
I love being close to the product: speaking to users, doing discovery, helping teams identify the most valuable problems, and then writing great code to solve them.
While at Florence, I had the opportunity to lead discovery, empower my team to do the same, and focus our engineering effort on the most impactful work. I would love to find a role where I can work in that way again.

@veganstraightedge fun research though, I’ve been meaning to do more classification of packages using https://github.com/ecosyste-ms/oss-taxonomy to aid discovery

@veganstraightedge I think there’s some legacy ones there, you can’t register new ones that clash with different cases, similar thing in the first 1k npm packages

Wooh! Most WASI phase 2 proposals now also have OCI packages published and are indexed by the registry:
Little by little we're making wasm components more accessible!

@andrewnez ooh! The setup-uv major version bump due to the caching change is possibly good addition to include!

This release disables the default cache cache pruning to ease the load on the PyPi infrastructure.

This one really touched a nerve, I’ve had a number of emails from real maintainers today sharing their stories that end up being way too similar 🥲

@andrewnez I mean Google meet reality is rarely done as Satire because it is so rarely happening. Usually it is reality meet Google and reality has to deal with the shitshow that Google did. Rarely the other way around
