Does anyone know why RuboCop suggested specifying development dependencies in Gemfile instead of in gemspec file as the default behavior? I know that RubyGems.org shows development dependencies as well, so isn't that kind of defeating the purpose? docs.rubocop.org/rubocop/cops...

I've been doing this for 10+ years and it's always the same thing — feature spec is expensive, don't take all permutations using feature spec. Less feature spec = less records need to be created in database.

I'm a fan of minitest myself, but isn't the recently popular post about moving from RSpec to minitest reduced test suite time from 14 min to 4 seconds a bit misleading? Creating fewer DB records + parallelization will of course improve realtime. Let's blame the testing method, not the tool.

Someone really should make a case study on how Election Commission of Thailand tries their hardest to make sure people are unable to vote in the general election, causes people's votes to become "invalid", or misinforms people that the candidate has been disqualified. It's so amazing 🥲

I'm actually surprised that this is not a syntax error in Ruby >> x = [foo: "bar", baz: "boo"] => [{foo: "bar", baz: "boo"}]

It seems so silly seeing many recruitment ads for (English-speaking) Senior Ruby Engineer for around 10M JPY annually while it's pretty common to see ~15M JPY annually for other languages like Java or Python.

Trying to cheat my way through in CASSETTE BOY and managed to fell out of the world through the waterfall 🤣 I’m actually surprised there is no death pane down there. #CASSETTEBOY

Played the demo and bought it. Looking forward to see what secret's inside this game.

I thought that Module#delegate is already built-in to Ruby, but apparently it's not (you need to require core_ext/module/delegation from Active Support). Kind of wondering if they'd considered adding this to Ruby core?

CASSETTE BOY is finally out. Years of graphics, programming, and sound all done solo. Huge thanks to the publishers who supported me, and to my family. This game is my idea of what a ”game" is. I hope you enjoy it. #IndieGame #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameLover

This game gives me so much FEZ vibe.

@bsky.app still waiting for an ability to delete and re-draft a post if post editing is not possible to be implemented in atproto 💙

Ruby 3.2.10 has been released. ruby-lang.org/en/news/2026... This version applied past CVE fixes and fixed build errors and issues with OpenSSL 3.6.0. Ruby 3.2.x will be released with same fixes in March and will reach EOL, so please plan to update to 3.3/3.4.

I really like the fact that I no longer need to enter my PIN or scan my face at medical institutions after they start accepting My Number Card in Apple Wallet. Such a game changer.

I extended my AirPods Pro’s Apple Care+ for another year for 10.49 USD (≈ ¥1,700) and then got my right AirPod replaced due to a broken microphone. Out-of-warranty repair would have cost me 13,091 JPY for one side. I’m glad I didn’t have to pay OOW fee, but it feels like the math doesn’t work out?

We are loading out media locally in 2026. We are putting our fruity little bandcamp purchases on tiny portable players. We are running baby media servers connected to our routers. This is the year of FLAC.

"17 years with Ruby on Rails" 🫠

Did some "research" by watching my old talks and I just amazed by how much "ummm" and "uhhh" was there. Definitely needed more rehearsal.

Looks like sakura is going to bloom exactly around the time RubyKaigi is happening in Hakodate this year. What a perfect timing! #RubyKaigi

It's easy to dismiss the Lego Smart Brick as just sounds kids could make with their own mouths — but it's way smarter than I thought. This has legs Lego Mario never did. I shot and edited this to show you:

Funny seeing this rate limit from @github.com just to realized that they probably rate limit me based on my 6to4 CGNAT IP address. Maybe it's time to turn on native IPv6 support?

Apparently @1password.bsky.social brought back the ability to disable 1Password autofill on a particular site (domain?) but it's now hidden in the context menu...? Glad that I can finally disable the prompt on the 3D Secure page 🙏

Funny how it took this long before someone decided to come up with a MagSafe battery pack which also has a magnetic ring to stick your wallet back to it. Yep, take my money.

lol, lmao. Okay I’m going to explain this hack because it’s pretty clever. Non-technical people should know that this is a fun thing that a user created and there’s nothing wrong with it per se, but it’s not exactly standard

Dear Bluesky, if you are not going to give me an "edit post" button, please at least let me "delete and re-draft" it like Mastodon.

Looks like the next version of Rails will have a built-in support for `.env` file? Maybe I'll try to add in `.env.local` support after this got in unless someone else beat me to it. github.com/rails/rails/...

It's Christmas so you know what's coming! Congratulations on version 4.0! 🎄 www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025...

I love how when I ordered a large iced coffee at the coffee shop this morning the barista was like "it's (a) cold (drink), is it okay?" like I made a mistake ordering a cold drink when it's 10°C/50°F outside.

69: nice number 67: meme number 🆕 68, you are next.

The official Ruby documentation site is also renewal at this year. ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025... Thanks @st0012.dev !

I'm surprised that str.to_time doesn't use Time.zone.parse, and there's no clean way to force it to be in Time.zone (No, `Time.use_zone(Time.zone) { str.to_time }` still doesn't work)

I wonder if we're going to get Ruby 4.0.0-rc1 before 4.0.0 on Christmas? Looking at www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads... it seems like RC comes out before the final version sometimes.

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays all, hope you find time this week to apply for a Gem Fellowship, applications close on 1/1! 💎 🎄 https://gem.coop/fellowship/

I published the context and concept for redesigning www.ruby-lang.org. www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025...

Seeing this popped up on my LinkedIn feed. Sounded like Apple is using Ruby on Rails in their services team for ... "internal quality evaluation tools", something like a feature flag system? 🤔 jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail...

I don't think I should start Tears of the Kingdom until late next year.

In the other unrelated news I finally “finished” Breath of the Wild over the weekend. I refused to go do the Ganon fight until I finished all the shrine and korok seeds, so total time was just a shy of 210 hours (lol). Well, I am glad I can finally put this to rest.

I'm today reminded by the existence of `Enumerable#filter_map`. I actually thought that this isn't a thing because it's not in the documentation for `Array`.

I guess I have to update `omniauth-csrf-protection` to support `Sec-Fetch-Site` huh ... I wonder if it's working OOB because I included `RequestForgeryProtection` directly, but I guess we'll see!

I'm using RSpec at work every day because that's what they've been using since forever, but minitest is always my goto for projects that I own. I'm happy to see that it's still being well-maintained.

Congratulations to the minitest team on releasing version 6.0! Looking forward to running test based on the line number and trying out minitest/complete!

I’m very honored and grateful. Rails has given me a lot, and giving back through open source has always felt like the natural response. Looking forward to continuing the work. ❤️ I wrote a short note on my blog: marcoroth.dev/posts/rails-...

We were very proud to present @marcoroth.dev with the Rails Luminary Award 2025. And yes, I was on a secret mission to Zurich 😀. rubyonrails.org/2025/12/17/m...
