summary
Quick demos and concrete tools: a Chef Browser Sinatra app that reads a Chef server, authenticates via knife user list, shows flattened JSON paths, live filters and saved knife searches; a tiny gem method_struct (10–15 lines) that enforces naming, dependency injection and callability for service objects and is used in production; a reproducible Mersenne Twister attack showing 624 outputs recover state and predict future RNG values; plus short notes on React+Hexagonal JS glue, Wi‑Fi at conferences and an RVM fundraiser that raised $51,000.
