This is a huge release for TruffleRuby. It’s our first under our new org. If you’ve been hesitant about contributing because of the CLA, please note that we no longer have one. We can also release more frequently so please report bugs or open PRs.

Hey Ruby consultants, freelancers, and agencies! Quick reminder: we have the Ruby Consultants Quarterly Gathering (over Zoom) on Monday, 1pm ET! Come talk shop with other Rubyists. (It's not widely publicized, so if you don't have an invite, DM me and I'll add you.)

Just published this year's version of my "Ruby Changes" project: a full annotated changelog for Ruby 4.0: rubyreferences.github.io/rubychanges/... Goals: Full, comprehensive, concise, well-structured. Examples, explanations of reasons, links to docs, all of it.

In 2025, we hit the conference circuit—RailsConf, Laracon, ElixirConf, to name a few. We shipped smart "Just Enough APM™" dashboards, Insights Alarms, an EU data region, plus integrations with @incident.io, @rootly.com, and more. Thanks for a great year. See you in 2026! 🧡

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

🌸 Here’s your State of Hanami for 2025. We took our first steps into a new era: we made a substantial release, began unifying our ecosystem, launched our sponsorship program, and saw a real uptick in community activity. Read all about it! hanamirb.org/blog/2025/12...

What’s really amazing about vibe-coding is how people are replacing programming languages which are strictly deterministic with human speech which is highly ambiguous and expect programming to be faster and better.

I spent the last few days migrating Sidekiq’s wiki content to a new @bridgetownrb.com app. I loved reading the docs and learning a totally new to me Ruby tool. That knowledge is literally the value I provide as a senior engineer. Why outsource that to AI?

I became a software engineer because writing code is fun. Thinking through hard problems, designing elegant solutions, seeing the things you’ve built working for the first time… these moments are all deeply satisfying, so why in the world would I ever surrender them to AI?

SVG icons have been "solved" myriad ways, but I find them all lacking. Inline SVGs? Bloated DOM. <img> tags? Can't change colors. Icon fonts? Blurry at certain sizes, a11y issues. CSS background-image? Still can't change colors. But, today there's actually a perfect solution...

@indirect.io When I try to add spinel.coop/news/ to my feed reader, it says no feed found. Would love to see RSS support, couldn't find the source in github.

Ruby 0.49!?

I’ve been frustrated with how we write and manage software for years now. Next week, @miren.dev’s vision of a better way begins!

Am I missing something or did they just say “we can’t release our bylaws because we don’t know how to add content and we’re redesigning our website”?

Cooperative identity, values and principles. If you’re interested in open source governance, cooperatives match well with an egalitarian group of project maintainers. ica.coop/en/cooperati...

@amandabrooke.bsky.social Hi Amanda, can you point me to the Rails Foundation Form 990 for 2024? It appears to be overdue?

🔥 XO Ruby is seeking sponsors for our multi-city tour! Help us bring Ruby developers together across 6 cities. Your support strengthens the Ruby community nationwide. www.xoruby.com/firestarter/

This is leadership

The assumption that she has absolute authority over our communal resources is absurd. She really does not seem to understand that Ruby Central exists in service to Ruby developers. It is an administrative role, not governing.

What comes through loud and clear from Shan is the lack of respect for open source authors. She actually says it’s none of my business why I was removed from rubygems. I don’t know where you got the audacity but you should put it back. youtu.be/nKpo68g9dEk?...

After a year hiatus, my series on all things Ruby concurrency is back! This post digs into the interrupt mechanism in Ruby threads. These interrupts revolve around bit masks, so it's got some Ruby bit work as well! Expect more regular updates from now on 💃💃💃 jpcamara.com/2025/10/22/b...

Ruby Association has 16 Platinum sponsors and roughly $100k in annual income. Platinum sponsorship is ~$3200 (500,000 yen). I think they could add a zero to their Sponsorship tiers and pay for a few ruby-core members to work full-time. Their 2025 budget […]

Ruby Central took what wasn’t theirs to take, and they must immediately hadn’t it back. We can talk later about the lying and gaslighting that followed. But what they must do right now is hand back the GitHub organisation and open source packages to the maintainers.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

The way that certain people in this community attack André, while turning a blind eye to DHH’s (objectively far worse) behaviour. It’s fucking disgraceful.
