Absolutely. I enjoy it so much that I wonder "do people actually NOT enjoy writing Ruby?" It's usually the first tool I pull out of the toolbox for DSLs, scripts, spikes, one-offs and the like. A lot of the time, the project will happily stay in Ruby unless there's a good reason to use something else. And then I move it - horses for courses.

I programmed professionally in C, C++, C#, Deplhi, and a few other languages well before I had even heard of Ruby.

Yes - this is exactly why aircraft use AM.

If I get a message on linkedin that pertains to a work issue, you had better believe that I'm going to be dealing with it on work time.

A better, better solution would be to stop using the service at all.

Due to me procrastinating with my notes, I was able to remember that I had touched on this before. According to my Obsidian notes:

Does the dowsing find water hidden in a random spot or is the dowser tapping into subconscious knowledge about the land to find it. The parent is talking about the latter.

Look up "Ideomotor phenomenon" in your source. It's right above the pseudoscience bit.

It's not like subconscious knowledge must be valid subconscious knowledge. The ideomotor phenomenon is an expression of internal belief, which may be little different than a wild-ass guess.

There's no evidence that the dowser is tapping into subconscious knowledge in a way that gives results any better than - or different from - chance.

Dress for the slide, not for the ride.

Always this.

Custom tooled leather accessories. I've been tooling leather (and selling some on and off) for years. It's possible to make a living with it, but it's certainly not easy. With the prevalence of fast fashion, people often get serious sticker shock when they see what a hand made item actuallly costs.

I'm waiting on new handmade leather shoes to arrive: https://www.quoddy.com/collections/mens-in-stock/products/me...

I prioritized handmade in the US. I live in shoes like this, so I was OK spending more for quality with the later ability for refurbishing/resoling.

Quite an art.
