Just as GitHub was founded on Git, today we are re-founded on Copilot. From the GA of Copilot Chat, to the new Copilot Enterprise, to the Copilot Partner Program and so much more – we are expanding and infusing Copilot into every aspect of GitHub.

I believe that as important as how many hours you put in work is which hours you’re in the work. 9 to 5 don’t work for everyone and I’m glad I can start my work day at @ShopifyEng when I feel it is best to me and not when someone decided it is “best” to me.

@drnic I do, but it is not really useful. Better ways to review PRs, better ways to release software , better ways to interact with the community would be more useful than an AI trying to write code that I can write better.

@sstephenson Thank you so much for making our lives better with all your work. I think I already told you this, but if not I’ll say again, you are one of the people that inspired me to work on open source.

The beginning of this week has a lot of movement already for my team here at Shopify. Another great improvement for the Ruby community, culmination of years of research and development with the quality you already know you can wait from Aaron.

I merged auto compaction in to Ruby today. Now, rather than worrying about the election, I can constantly worry how badly I broke the build!

I’m excited about Ruby Shield, but even more exciting is how we’re accelerating innovation together. For our team, it’s not just about putting in the work, but also looking at how we unlock more means for the teams improving communities we care about.

@plataformatec @cantoniodasilva @josevalim and that lunch was the beginning of my career as Ruby developer. The rest is history. I’m who I’m because of someone accepted to have lunch with me. I’m glad I could do the same with other people and I want to continue doing that.

It seems the language they are actually using to build their software is missing is that list. Is that trying to say something?

@Pablo_C_O If you can, please do. I’m not here to tell you what you should or should not do in your projects. But you and I know that you can’t, so don’t brag about something you don’t have. Good luck dealing with Linus.

Lately I’m trying to learn more about digital nomads. Am I getting it correctly that some digital nomads are more like digital illegal workers? Most countries’ immigration laws don’t help much that lifestyle.

In the end, the lesson that stays after that tweet is: rewrite your millions of lines of code in a different language every year. Because you can’t improve a language to fulfill your needs, and your needs will always change.
