I've followed, but kept rather quiet about the Ruby Central stuff so far. I'm just some guy who is unqualified to pick it apart, but I will just offer a couple of thoughts. Firstly, most people involved in the discourse care deeply about Ruby, or they wouldn't be engaging in the first place. n/∞

Given today's announcement. Would it be acceptable that the ruby core team assumed stewardship of Rails to ensure the continued health, stability, and growth of the Ruby ecosystem for years to come ?

the rubygems and bundler projects continue to change hands with nobody having ever explained how they came to be in the possession of ruby central www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025...

Awesome energy around the Hanami project right now. Props to Ryan Bigg for breaking down the different parts of us who have severe cases of Rails-brain.

YAML is weird. And not in a good way That’s why I maintain Ruby Schema, a collection of config schemas for the Ruby community. Our i18n schema prevents this boolean problem, helping the YAML LSP show errors. github.com/yippee-fun/r...

For the first time in a long time, I have a professional CV! (100% hand-coded HTML of course, and the PDF was itself printed from the HTML via a print stylesheet.) 😎 I'm looking to make a major impact on a fast-growing team with high-stakes full-stack architecture or design system planning […]

And here's a newsletter/blog post noelrappin.com/blog/2025/10... Part one of a likely two-part series about the languages that influenced Ruby. This time, Perl, with all of its shortcuts and syntax quirks. The things Ruby took and the things Ruby left behind...

What tool would you recommend to email marketing? I'm just getting started with my investigation, but there seems to be a lot of options: Kit, Bento, ButtonDown, Podia, etc I'll appreciate if you can share your own experience, tips, tricks or anything that would help me decide.

Periodic reminder: @rubycentral is smearing Andre in public so they can justify their hostile takeover of the rubygems/rubygems repo after the fact. An actual community-focused organization would have followed the RFC process which was already in progress.

Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I don’t think they’re representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...

On RubyGems & Governance: pup-e.com/blog/on-ruby... Many programmers have no interest in formal governance processes, but letting people act and speak on our behalf without our input is what got us here. The path forward is for the community to speak up and take direct ownership of what we make.

Hey folks. I'm still trying to reconcile the news today. 1. We are not selling any private info. RubyGems.org policies permit that, but gem.coop doesn't collect anything. 2. We need to have good leadership, elected transparently, with transparent finances. We're publishing our governance for that.

This is an interesting take on AI assisted coding: hojberg.xyz/the-programm... I can relate with most of the article and specially with this quote: "I want to drive, immerse myself in craft, play in the orchestra, and solve complex puzzles"

Just finished my weekend project: making Papercraft templates work in Hanami apps. Here's the story: noteflakes.com/articles/202... #ruby #hanami #papercraft

I wrote a little about it on my site. martinemde.com/2025/10/05/a... I can't wait to make more chicken puns with you all.

announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!

Hanami 2.3 beta1 is out! This release introduces Rack 3 support, plus a wide range of improvements and fixes. We’d love your help with testing. Please give it a go! hanamirb.org/blog/2025/10...

I reached 1K followers! Thanks everyone for being around, looking forward to keep having a good time in this corner of the web.

I think it's a brilliant: "A public record is an accountability measure and provides visibility into who is asking what, and what questions get official responses from Ruby Central and which are left unanswered."

+1 to just using a PASS (Heroky, Fly.io) to get started and want to launch a fast MVP. You can worry about efficiency and costs later when needed.

cold take: ruby central, the organization, deserves to die the board members betrayed the community, individual developers, and sponsors who were not evil grasping control freaks. and they won’t step down the mission can’t be done with zero trust the org should be over.

I have a comment on one part of today's RC post. "we focused first on contacting the team members directly affected" They revoked access, took 6 days to say what they wanted, then kept changing their demands as soon as we got close. After multiple rounds of that, they demanded people be removed.

"Ruby Central acted in bad faith — not just towards the RubyGems maintainers, but also to the wider Ruby community, who they have ignored and mislead over the last week."

Hotwire devs! October 6-10 is the week for solving these: - turbo-streams, trubo-frames cleanup - the Rails Way for edge cases in Hotwire - complex screens - morph surprises - janky interactions - third-party UI components, and more Pricing & details: hotwiresupport.pascal.works

There's a lot to be excited about in the world of Ruby, even if the three-guy has some truly shit opinions and won't stop sharing them. Let's some love to the folks that are making this community better and get behind those efforts. skillissue.jardo.dev/archive/...

After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

Good morning. I wrote an article on how to prepare for a technical interview with some recommendations. Please share and let me know if you have any other good tips. www.rubynewbie.org/how-to-prepa...

"No matter what they say: we keep moving forward" - @yukihiro_matz Ruby is getting better. We keep making value. Value is more important than popularity. "We keep making value because of the community. The greatest treasure of us"

I came across "The DHH Problem" today (tomstu.art/the-dhh-prob...) I felt identified with this quote: "The ruby community is large and diverse and thoughtful and that is why I love it" Looking forward to building a diverse and welcoming #ruby community with ya'll despite the current atmosphere.

Hey Rails friends. I'm trying an experiment. Can you help me send this out to our industry friends? "A week of Hotwire Office Hours, so you can finally tweak your Hotwire-based app." Part group training, part accountability, part hangout with friends. Details soon👇 hotwiresupport.pascal.works

I've been building rubynewbie.org website using @pagecord.com and it has been a great experience so far. If you're looking for a blogging platform to get started with all the batteries included but still simple to use, give it a try. It's also powered by #ruby #rubyonrails Kudos to @olly.world !

I wrote a post with multiple options to participate on the #ruby community. Let me know if I missed something to include it! www.rubynewbie.org/10-ways-to-p...

When you're getting started it's easy to get lost or you can get stuck when trying to work on an exercise or project. I created a small guide on where you can reach out for help: #ruby #rubynewbie www.rubynewbie.org/how-to-get-h...

I agree with this take on how fundamentals are now more important than ever and why measuring team outcomes is the way forward (same as before) www.swarmia.com/blog/code-fa...

We're excited to offer scholarship tickets again this year for those not otherwise able to come. We're great for early career Ruby devs to build professional relationships locally and expand their perspectives. If you'd like to be considered: forms.gle/HW6Q5ZVzftzw...

I just published a guide to setup any ruby version in minutes using mise-en-place: www.rubynewbie.org/install-any-... Please reach out if you have any feedback or to share what you use to setup dev tools.

This is a very cool idea and a great way for people to try out rails without installing anything.
