I have changed my last name to Alayce. If you’re curious about the story I wrote about it on my blog eileencodes.com/posts/where-…

It’s wild to me that Google Maps knows so much about me and yet does not have an AI chat or tool telling where I might want to go near where I am.

Got to see the Warriors win last night with some of the @PlanetScale team. What a game! Having a lovely time in SF meeting my coworkers and getting to know everyone better. I love working remote but occasional face time is so fulfilling.

If I had to repeat myself with a coworker as often as I do with Claude they would be unemployable.

There's a bunch of sub-100 follower accounts that don't understand what open source is and think my last tweet means I'm a moron. But life is too short to fight with people on twitter and that is what they made the block button for.

PlanetScale uses rails and we have out-shipped our competitors every year for the last 6 years

I wish @github supported sending PRs to private repos from someone outside an org. For example, if an agent found a security vuln it could send a fix to our private Rails repo so the fix doesn't get leaked - only the Rails security team can see it.

Then we wouldn't have to invite researchers / agents into our private repo. We'd just accept outside PRs to be sent. As more security agents are unleashed it'd be more helpful for them to actually fix things instead of just write multi page essays I'm not gonna read.

I'd take private PRs to public repos too but I suspect based on my experience with the GitHub monolith, that that's harder than allowing a public contribution to a private repo.

Me: "This method looks haunted, what's going on here?" Grok: "I'm rebuilding the SKU name by hand" Me: "wtaf 😑" I have an importer for the skus and rates and instead of fixing the importer to handle a new sku type it decided to guess the type by name, which is ass-backwards.

Am I writing more code than ever before with AI? yes and I really love shipping fast. But am I also seeing really bizarre decisions that avoid doing something the correct way? Also yes.

Got bored with the reading same takes over and over on my last tweet so limited replies. Y'all know you're not required to respond right?

I don't want to add more to the discourse in Ruby land. But I do want to say that I think English is wildly imprecise and I see us eventually developing a new spec/language for defining what we want with bots. Not because it saves tokens, but because it makes building easier.

Although on the other hand, if we keep using English to build with LLMs, maybe everyone else will get better at being direct and straightforward and I will no longer have to read between the lines of what someone actually meant?
