In 2016, I thought about writing a conference talk about CORS, just that. "You'll finally understand and remember everything you need to know about CORS". I never did it, but a decade later, I still want to have this talk somewhere, every time I get confused and need to relearn the same things 😅

Something special happened last September. Our plushy seats hosted over 130 bright folks who came to see the happening which we call Friendly.rb. youtu.be/bUjVCueMaI0

Just discovered sweetfont.com in the Ruby Weekly newsletter. It's so neat! 😍 I love it!

tiny ruby #​{conf} will return on the 1st of October 2026!  More information to come, but for now you can sign up to receive email updates on our site: tinyruby.fi #tinyruby #ruby #conference #helsinki #finland

Pues en mi particular historia de desamor con @bilbostack.com, este año tampoco podré ir 😢 ➡️ Regalo entrada a alguien de un colectivo infrarrepresentado: mujer, lgtbiqa+,... y/o si no podías ir por motivos económicos (dm y te la mando, sin preguntas).

Hola! No podré asistir a @bilbostack.com , ¿alguien necesita entrada? Gracias!

I had two conferences to choose from this weekend, @fosdem.org and @bilbostack.com. Mochi is not allowed at FOSDEM, unfortunately, but she is allowed at Bilbostack (in Euskalduna centre!), so I had to choose Bilbo 🥹🐶🐾

In my last couple of "easy" runs (easy = conversational pace, there's nothing easy about running IMHO 🤣), I listened to this new podcast I discovered called "impolyglot | French Podcast, by Lionel Junior", to keep my French active. I found it pretty good, would love to find a German equivalent!

Mañana tenemos @madridrb.com con Alfonso Alba compartiendo técnicas avanzadas de Git. Nos vemos a las 19:30 en Lingokids Inscríbete en www.madridrb.com/events/janua...

Foreigners usually think of the sun and Mediterranean beaches when they think of Spain, but the country is *so much more*: deep forests, rugged mountains, non-stop rain, snow, and large deserts 😊 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate...

Oooh! It's snowing in Madrid! And a bunch of people in my narrow, typical-Lavapiés street are on the balconies taking photos and recording the snow 🥹☃️ We get snow once or twice a year, at most (plus the once-in-a-lifetime-snowpocalypse of 2021 🤣), and it's mandatory to get excited about it 🥰

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

¡Hola! Este año no podremos ir a la @bilbostack.com 💔 Si alguien quiere, necesita, o sabe de alguien, tenemos dos entradas 🎟️🎫 Se agradece RT 😄 bilbostack.com

Today, on my long run, I listened to a ton of episodes of the BBC's "The Radio 2 Book Club" podcast, and besides getting some great ideas for books to read, I felt a lot of nostalgia about living in the UK 🥹❤️🇬🇧

It's Burns night, and in celebration of the Bard the first round of tickets to Haggis Ruby 2026 are now on sale! ti.to/haggis-ruby/... The website hasnae even been updated yet you lucky people. 2 days, in Glasgow, with brilliant speakers, a ceilidh and workshops. Whit more could you want?

We’re revealing this year’s Balkan Ruby venue 💎 Ruby is coming “home” to Sofia’s 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗺 “𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻” —a world of rare minerals, gemstones, and giant crystals. This May, we’re adding our own gems: bold talks & hot takes 😉 Make sure you're there: balkanruby.com

The 2nd, epic episode of Recordables is out dev.37signals.com/moving-mount... This one features the smartest person I've ever met: Jeremy Daer. I've been in his team for almost 9 years, and I just can't get used to it 🤣 I'm amazed that I'm allowed to work with him, it feels like too big of a perk 😅

There is only one week left to submit your talk proposals for Rubycon 2026! Do you have a cool Ruby hack, a Rails success story, or an insightful deep dive to share? Submit your proposal and join us on stage. Submit before it's too late: rubycon.it/cfp #Rubycon #CFP #AleaIactaREST

Calling all frontend engineers. It's the perfect time to become a Martian. We’re looking for a JS dev who respects CSS, UX, and design and can work independently on a fully remote team. Join the team behind PostCSS, Nano Stores, and OKLCH. Apply here: evilmartians.com/careers/fron...

A good thing about neglecting a project for months because of working on other stuff is that it gives time to browsers to catch up 😆 Somehow I missed that Firefox 147 will have support for ES modules in service workers, the fix landed about a month ago! 🥳 bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

I signed up for a full marathon in 2026 😅😱 Madrid's, which is quite hilly and miserable 🤣 I've run only one marathon, Valencia in 2022, and I thought I'd never do it again because it was so hard, but I've mostly forgotten the pain now 😆 I started a training plan for it 7 weeks ago(23 weeks total) 💪🏻

Man, if I wasn't planning @blueridgeruby.com, I'd be submitting a "hot takes" talk to @balkanruby.bsky.social. I've already got the outline for a spicy (for me) talk on Hotwire ready to go. 🌶️

This was a pretty good year in sport/running for me 🎉🏃🏻‍♀️ the first time I followed a training plan to get faster! I really embraced being uncomfortable and loved the discipline of it 💪🏻🥰 PBed half marathon but didn't achieve my other fitness goals: 2 strict pull-ups and full front splits. For 2026!

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby. A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more! Demos below ⬇️

Si estás pensando ir a @bilbostack.com o conoces a alguien que necesita una entrada, porfis, ponte en contacto conmigo que tengo una entrada y no puedo ir. 😞 ¡Gracias!

My self-gift for Christmas this year was the clear/blank keyboard for my framework laptop frame.work/es/en/produc... I got the whole input kit because I also switched to ANSI from ISO. It looks so cool! I'm not as good at typing on it as in a regular labeled keyboard but close enough

Oh wow! Spain is doing better than the other EU countries at something 🥹. This aligns with my anecdotal, personal experience. Wasting food in Spain is very frowned upon. Pretty normal in restaurants to be told (without asking!) that you've ordered too much and that you need to change your order 🤣

My favourite artist this year was Dutch! MEAU music.apple.com/es/album/een... I'm obsessed, love all songs and know many of them by heart. And I knew about her thanks to a playlist that @lucianghinda.com shared! I'll go see her next year for sure, maybe when/if she goes back to Antwerp ❤️🤞🏻

My favorite talk!! @jpcamara.com used Yjs and @anycable.io to build a collaborative text editor in a Rails app, and it was super fun trying it out live with other folks during his talk.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ruby and the release of Ruby 4.0, the first 32 talks from the SF Ruby Conference main stage are now live on YouTube! This includes keynotes from @marcoroth.dev, @palkan.bsky.social, and @paolino.me. We’re working on uploading the rest next week.

Well... I had the absolute worst couple of days 😔 But a very nice 12km run to clear my head. I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.

Happy Ruby release day!

Rocket Validator has always been a European startup, and with these latest changes, we're now closer to our European customers. #a11y #europe #webdev rocketvalidator.com/blog/hello-e...

This video series just launched, and the first guest is one of my dearest workmates, one of the best programmers I've ever met, and someone I always talk about when I try to explain how incredibly special some people I work with are: Jeff Hardy ❤️ dev.37signals.com/the-rails-de...

Did you still need more reasons to come to RubyCon Italy? 🤩🤩🤩

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...

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-...

This makes me so happy! 🥳 I'm so proud of you, @marcoroth.dev! 🙇🏻‍♀️👏🏻

The Christmas period can be super hard for a bunch of reasons, especially family problems and loss. For me, December is by far the worst month of the year 😔. So, this is for all those of you who are on the same boat: I hope you make it through these days the best you can ❤️ (I work and train a lot)
