I tweet from PlanetEfficacy. So if you can spell that, you can find me. And you'll find a lot of interesting Ruby content, political outrage, and Vermont progressive rock. on that Twitter stream.

Yeah, I've got a couple of picks, different categories. So first is a talk that I watched recently that maybe you all have seen already, but I recommend revisiting it. So Sammy Metz's RailsConf 2019 keynote, which is called Lucky You. And I think it's especially timely as we approach election season. And thinking about equality and issues of inequality in our country.

So I highly recommend that talk. It's amazing as all Sandy Metz talks tend to be. Then I have, when the pandemic started, we started working remote. I made a small investment in my work from home setup that I highly, highly, highly recommend. I went out and I got an ErgoDox split keyboard, having some wrist pain on the keyboard I was using.

So I know keyboards can be a whole other podcast, but check out ErgoDox. They make a really, really, really good product that's worth the price. And I've been a huge fan of it since getting it. And then my final pick, there's a book that just came out. It's a guilty pleasure. It's called The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie, a British gentleman.

And it is in the grimdark genre of fantasy literature. And I highly recommend it.
