Going to do my best to share helpful updates about how to get the most from the Claude Platform: APIs, SDKs, the ant CLI and more.
If you have any feedback about existing API features you’d love to see, I’m all ears!
Pumped to be back in a position where there’s so much I’m excited to use and hype.

😍 If a request to the Stripe API fails, you'll now get a new property on the response called `request_log_url` which opens your request logs for the failed request.

This is huge. One of the main reasons integrations supported legacy Charges was ACH. As of today, you can rip all that old legacy code out and use ACH with PaymentIntents.
Great chance to upgrade to PaymentElement too :)
US businesses can now use ACH to debit customer bank accounts. (And it works with Stripe Checkout, Payment Links, and Invoicing!)
Bank accounts can be connected and verified instantly so your customers can pay without any wait. 🇺🇸🏦 stripe.com/payments/ach-dire…

One optimization I reach for is collecting ActiveRecord models into a hash of some_id => #<Model instance>.
TIL: index_by
Instead of:
User
.all
.map
.with_object({}) do |user, acc|
acc[user.deputy_id] = user
end
Do this:
User.all.index_by(&:deputy_id)

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
ALT Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.
