The Phlex on Rails course outline is complete! Here's where it landed: 1. Integrate Phlex w/ existing Rails apps 2. Building forms with Phlex components 3. Using with Hotwire 4. Build a Rails app 100% from Phlex There's lots more, but those are the major points.
me: know what! I'll use the `:` as a delimiter instead of folders in ffmpeg. Case closed! macOS: 🤡
I bet I'm not the first person to say this, but ffmpeg is the worst, even with LLMs helping out. If you're encoding HLS, you pretty much have to forget about using folders to store variants. Instead you're stuck with delimited like `:`. Gotta keep it flat apparently.

When I first saw @TrustVanta at a YC CTO demo day many years ago, I thought "this is going to end up being a consulting firm" I was completely wrong 🤣 They've done an amazing job productizing SOC 2 and compliance certifications.
When we started Vanta in 2018, “automating” a SOC 2 seemed hard, and no one had done it. We thought about building AI to answer security questionnaires instead, but that was impossible to do reliably in a pre-LLM world. Today, Vanta AI drafts over 80% of questionnaire answers,…
Just emailed a @BeautifulRubyHQ Phlex on Rails customer a kazoo! It wasn’t this one, but if you pre-order the class I’ll email this one to you.
Remember when they immediately started banning accounts that linked to other social networks? Today you still can't link to an external website in a tweet without reach being penalized. Freedom!
