Lately I feel the haters eating away at my confidence -- they scream out my failures, and whisper my accomplishments.

Software Development

The harsh reality of real world software development is that software is often created with intentional, or unintentional, complexity and a disregard for maintainability, testability, and quality.

The end result of this unfortunate reality is software that can become increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain and that fails sporadically and even spectacularly.

Late Bloomers of the Arts

For all of you who’ve felt even for a second that it’s ever too late:

1. Charles Bukowski had his first book published when he was 49

2. Leonard Cohen was 33 when his first album was released

3. Marina Abramovic’s career as an independent artist wasn’t solidified until she was 42

4. Julia Child’s career started when she was 36

5. Van Gogh started drawing when he was 27

6. Monet painted Sunrise when he was 33, but wasn’t producing his best work until his early 40s

7. Kazuo Ohno started dancing when he was 27

8. William S. Burroughs had his first novel published when he was 39

Rack::Request and URIs

I frequently forget the different paths that you can retrieve from a Rack::Request object. I promise that from now on, I'll remember... via a bookmark to this post. $ curl http://localhost:4567/a/long/path?with=some&query=parameters **request.path** "/a/long/path" **request.fullpath** "/a/long/path?with=some&query=parameters" **request.path_info** "/a/long/path" **request.query_string** "with=some&query=parameters" **request.scheme** "http" **request.url** "http://localhost:4567/a/long/path?with=some&query=parameters" **request.host** "localhost" **request.host_with_port** "localhost:4567"

Marina Abramović and Ulay, Death Self, 1977

To create this Death self, the two performers devised a piece in which they connected their mouths and took in each other’s exhaled breaths until they had used up all of the available oxygen. Seventeen minutes after the beginning of the performance they both fell to the floor unconscious, their lungs having filled with carbon dioxide. This personal piece explored the idea of an individual’s ability to absorb the life of another person, exchanging and destroying it.

Ulay and Abramović collaborated together for over a decade, upholding an intense and intimate relationship. In 1988, the two began a spiritual journey to end their relationship; each started at opposite ends of the Great Wall of China, walked 2500 km over a span of 90 days, met in the center, and said good-bye.
