What I have found gripping

  • Ruby Object Mapping (ROM) is an open-source persistence and mapping toolkit for Ruby

  • In Hanami, confirming that the database_url setting is working as intended requires running the command bundle exec hanami before calling the database_url method on the application's settings object

  • Building a RESTful API in Go means carefully considering which database to add to it

What I have read

  • We Don’t Have to Choose Between Ethical AI and Innovative AI, Reshma Saujani

  • The Value of Mentorship | Creating Opportunities for People of Color, Dr. Waajida L. Small

What I have watched

Featured quote

Right now, we have an opportunity to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and help the world’s most vulnerable communities. But it will require a willingness to take bold swings, put people first, and cooperate across sectors, industries, and political parties. — Reshma Saujani
