Here, you will find posts, links, and more about code (primarily Ruby), business (bootstrapped SaaS), and a little of everything in between.
Today, I have the honor of sharing with you yet another step in our evolution. Drop has been acquired by Corsair.
They say the brand will continue, but unfortunately, its value has been ruined over the last couple of years.
I have had mostly good experiences with Drop, and I thought adding a desk accessory category recently was an intelligent move.
My guess is Drop disappears in less than two years.
Do you see RuboCop offenses after installing and configuring the Standard VS Code Extension?
To fix this issue, you need to disable RubyLSP's diagnostics:
rubyLsp.enabledFeatures": {
"diagnostics": false
}
This is likely the best post gem install message I have seen (well, next to HTTParty). Well done Stanard team.
Finished reading: Anything You Want by Derek Sivers 📚
A fantastic quick read that puts you in the right mindset to start a new business. I cannot recommend this book enough to any (current or future) entrepreneurs.
My biggest wish list item for my Peloton is starting to come true.
You can now stream shows during a ride.
YouTube.tv is a good start. Hoping we will see others (Netflix) shortly.
I mentioned yesterday that I enjoyed the Starrett's chapter on eating in Built to Move. I have been on a high protein kick for a while but was not always getting the 800g recommendation from the book.
I changed that with a set of microwave bowls (I already owned) called AnyDay (see CookAnyDay.com). I am sure there are other similar products out there, so search around (avoid plastic ones), but I enjoy these (do not buy the small ones, the size is not practical).
What I like about them is you can throw just about any vegetables in them and have them steamed in just a couple of minutes. I start most days with about 200-300g of broccoli and cauliflower.
I had seen them recommended by Chef David Chang. I am unsure if he is an investor or a fan (my guess is he is getting paid), but they are beneficial either way. He mentions cooking meat and fish in them, but I have yet to go that far. However, they do an excellent job of reheating almost anything and make for some easy rice and oatmeal dishes.
No referral/affilate here. I am only mentioning them as a recommendation to help you get some more vegetables in your diet quickly. 😁
Finished reading: Built to Move by Kelly and Juliet Starrett 📚
While the Starretts are known for movement and mobility, the chapters on breathing and eating are the two that stuck with me for weeks after finishing it.
Overall the book is filled with many great tips with no gimmicks, supplements, or additional purchases needed.
I am not sure what’s worse. The fact this exists or that some might find it helpful….I know the answer….

If you've ever faced the pain of migrating a codebase to a new framework or language, this project is for you.
We have a bunch of CoffeeScript that I would love to migrate. It is hard to justify the time because it works, but with the improvements made to modern JavaScript, I cannot imagine purposely writing more CoffeeScript at this point.
According to Peak (and my watch) I am at 2.2 million steps for the year. New goal - 5 million by the end of the year.
