DHH and Omarchy: Midlife crisis

blogs.gnome.org · Nov 06

Couple weeks ago Cloudflare announced it would be sponsoring some Open Source projects. Throwing money at pet projects of random techbros would hardly be news, but there was a certain vibe behind them and the people leading them. In an unexpected turn of events, the millionaire receiving money fr...

"I think there is hope, but it demands more voices in tech spaces to speak up about how having empathy for others, or valuing diversity is not some grand conspiracy but rather enrichment to our lives and spaces."

"This comes hand in hand with firmly shutting down concern trolling and ridiculous “extreme centrist” takes where someone is expected to find common ground with others advocating for their extermination."

Reading along to blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/ and this quote really resonated:

“Is it any surprise that such a person later would find the most minuscule kind of opposition as an all-out attack on his self-image?”

You can tell a *lot* about a software community by how it handles criticism.

We don't *all* get more conservative as we age, so a while back I had to find a better way to phrase it. What I came up with: we crystalize into a clearer view of who we already were.

Anyways, good post interpreting Ruby on Rails founder DHH's slide into fash as midlife crisis. Mainly sharing for the amusing alternate titles of the dude's recent blogging history.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’

theguardian.com · Nov 06

Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Zohran Mamdani: A European takes over New York?

Certainly, many of Mamdani’s policies are familiar, normal & hardly radical on this side of the Atlantic.... what makes Mamdani radical in NY is an index of how US society's rampant individualism has emasculated the state & rendered 'impossible' things that are not just possible but expected in Europe.

Never was political geography so starkly revealed!

The thing abt minutiae that led to sandwich guy being acquitted (this is fr @mollyroberts.bsky.social's account), is you'll be able to match it side-by-side w/the debate at SCOTUS abt tariffs less than a mile away, that may determine the fate of the Republic. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/sand...

Adapting to the new reality of search

It’s obvious at this point that the landscape of search traffic for publishers is rapidly changing, and not generally for the better. Every SEO I know is complaining about the same patterns: Google results getting swamped by low-quality content; the rise of quick fire-and-forget AI-generated SE...

You Should Write An Agent
----
- an hour ago | 20 points | 4 comments
- URL: fly.io/blog/everyone-write-an-
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: Thomas Ptacek argues you should personally build an LLM agent, not just read about them. With ~30 lines of Python using OpenAI’s API and a simple loop, you can create a chatbot that remembers history, then extend it with tools—like a `ping` function—that the LLM autonomously decides how and when to use. This exercise demystifies “context engineering”: managing the limited token space by splitting contexts, summarizing, or chaining sub-agents. Building your own beats relying on opaque frameworks like MCP and gives hands-on insight into open design questions—balancing determinism, grounding truth, cost, and orchestration—all solvable in an afternoon of experimentation.
