I'm so, so sorry you lost your wife to cancer. Cancer is cruel, in so many ways.

> but the road to “better” is built on the shoulders of those who came before

This really resonates with me. I appreciate you sharing it. I'll be sharing it with my family, too.

My sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October (48 years old) and died in June from it.

I'm glad to see a drug like this developed for people suffering from pancreatic cancer. I don't wish what my sister went through on anyone.

Damn if I don't wish it had come a little sooner.

My uncle gave me his used (!) Bosch dryer 12 years ago. It’s outlasted every other appliance we’ve bought since then.

As a Ruby developer I resonate with this. I love a LOT about the Laravel ecosystem, but I also still really love Ruby and Rails.

Jason McCreary from Laravel Shift made a tool called Tailwind Converter which will convert Bootstrap code to TailwindCSS. It's pretty wild. https://laravelshift.com/convert-bootstrap-to-tailwind-css

jmcharnes — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 16:37:47 +0000

I still love my self-hosted WordPress instance. I wanted, for so long, to not use WordPress (for stupid reasons).

I keep a minimal set of plugins activated and my blog just works. It allows me to focus on content instead of trying to do a bunch of "dev work" on it.

New comment by jmcharnes in "RubyMotion Moving Forward Under New Leadership"

jmcharnes — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:27:05 +0000

I did a prototype app with RubyMotion a couple of years back.

The iOS gems made getting an app out the door easy if you were already a Ruby developer. Android, not so much. The support for Android was still fresh. The APIs to interact with Android were there, but not very many gems for Android + RubyMotion at the time. However, there hasn't seemed to be much progress with RubyMotion + Android since then.

React Native was a good alternative and appeared to pick up more steam. Likely because of the rise of React. Since this targeted iOS and Android better, it was more exciting to put effort there.

As a Ruby developer, I'm excited to see what's to come! I'd love to give RubyMotion another chance.
