So happy that the Triathlon is still on. This year's Spring Edition looks like a great opportunity to meet new folks and connect with the community. rubytriathlon.com

Everyone's building genuinely interesting and innovative products that nobody's ever going to use.

> The only thing that's still a reliable measure of "does this work" is manually testing the product. Congrats, you fucked yourself (and your company). mariozechner.at/posts/2026-...

Great news everyone. The Avo 4 Open Beta is ready for testing 🚀 Read more about that on our announcement and keep an eye out on the status page. avohq.io/blog/avo-4-... avo.cool/avo-4-status

Herb 🤝 Stimulus LSP

400 Passports are heading towards Tropical.rb and 50 for Rails Girls SP

Our organizer, Genadi, is getting older, but absolutely not wiser. Get 37% off any ticket purchases today with code: GENADI37. At some point, we'll get too grumpy and too cheap to do this every year. But not this year, enjoy! balkanruby.com?discount_cod...

200 Passports leaving for Brighton Ruby

Studies show that a Monday or Tuesday, around 3 months before your travel date is the best time to book. There are still early bird tickets left for Blastoff Rails so this confirms it! Now is the time to get yours! www.blastoffrails.com/tickets.html

It felt like Christmas getting this package from @adrianthedev.com. ☺️

You might have seen this one coming… ☺️ Today we're pleased to announce our latest sponsor for 2026! Avo (@avohq.io) is *the* Rails Framework for internal tools. avohq.io Thank you for partnering with us! 🙏

Last week 200 Passports were distributed with RuCoCo and 100 went for Wroclove.rb 🙌

I’m super curious about how the students going to look like. Is it going to contain architectural elements? The old city? The new city?

Can Avo run on a NAS using SQLite? It sure can! Our friend @julian_rubisch, tinkered a cool CRM solution and kept it close to his location. Check it out in his in-depth walkthrough. dev.to/julianrubis...

Big FOMO right now for the Ruby Community Conference in Kraków 🇵🇱💎❤️ with @adrianthedev.com as the MC in the prettiest venue. Ahhh I wish I could be there! Those of you attending: have a lot of fun! 🥹

🔥 I deployed a small Rails 8 app to my Synology NAS. No VPS, no cloud provider, no monthly bill. Here's why it works and what tripped me up. 🧵

Building AI Apps in Ruby and Rails with RubyLLM with @paolino.me started 🙌

RuCoCo in Krakow. LFG!

Some tips and tricks for working with #ClaudeCode batsov.com/articles/202...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Current state of how I used AI as an engineer for the past four weeks 🙌 Thread 👇

Today I learned about the Rip Van Winkle effect and that that's what I'm feeling regarding vibe-coding/agentic engineering. I feel that everything is slipping by me and I'm "sleeping on AI". youtube.com/shorts/G4-u...

Just updated the final speaker lineup on our site. This conference is taking off!

I'm brewing something for Rucoco

The new docsets build system for POSH TUI stands on the shoulders of my friends (and rails) - GenevaDrive gem from Julik - Avo gem from @adrianthedev.com - Webhukhs gem is a joint effort from me and Julik Thanks to them, I can focus on business logic.

Who's coming to Rucoco in two weeks? Krakow is an incredibly beautiful city, same as the Polish Ruby community. Let's make a Friendly corner for ourselves. 👇

Thanks to @adrianthedev.com we got Ruby Passports! These little memorabilia let you collect stamps from Ruby events worldwide. Just like a real passport! Grab yours at our March 5th meetup at Meister!

CSS import rules can cause poor performance, especially when each stylesheet is loaded from a new domain. Stylesheets are render-blocking, so visitors can't see any content before they load. And establishing a server connection takes several network round trips. www.debugbear.com/blog/avoid-c...

About 440 Passports left for US. Get them at @blueridgeruby.com, @blastoffrails.bsky.social, @rbqconf.bsky.social, and @xoruby.com 🙌 Special thanks to @jeremysmith.co for helping out with the logistics of it all 🫶

Ok. Trying out OpenCode. I was just getting used to CC, but the wishy-washiness is not cool.

Coming right up!

A very special package is on its way from Bucharest! 🎁🤗 My friend @adrianthedev.com, founder of @avohq.io and architect of @therubypassport.com project, has prepped our Ruby passport shipment! Can’t wait to get our embassy set up and issue these to Rubyists at @blueridgeruby.com!

100 Passports left for @parisrb and the greater French Ruby community. Thanks @julienmarseil for helping with distribution.

I see all these new vibe-coding projects which proud themselves for "never working inside an editor ever again", and they want to sell to developers. Why? Developers love editors.

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

I have to admit it. I'm a bit overwhelmed about what AI can do, and could do in the future. Business-wise, replacing-people-wise, and other balance-shattering things. It's just a lot to think about...

Quick PSA: If you're an event organizer who wants the Ruby Passport at your event, get in touch with me at least one month in advance. These things take a while to get made and shipped your way. ✌️

"I ran a moderately large opensource service and my chronic back pain was cured the day I stopped maintaining the project." - someone on Hacker News I can see that. I love open source, but not all open source is equal. Making money to making it sustainable is key IMHO.

Spot on! The companies who are advertising “we won’t need developers in the future” hire more than before. The duality is through the roof.

30 Passports left for Berlin for RUG::B

100 passports left for London. Get them at the next LRUG meeting.

Yesterday, 50 Passports left for Belfast RubyFest 🙌

Developers who will benefit the most from AI coding are the ones who enjoy reading PRs and PRDs 🙌

> ... are going to be a consumer of these tools or someone who understands them deeply and automates your job function? > Trust me, you want to be in the latter camp because consumption is now the baseline for employment. **consumption is now the baseline for employment**

Everyday I am more convinced that I should wait a bit after each wave of AI hype before I try to run with the wave. From "Developers are obsolete" to "OpenClaw is the perfect AI assistant and everyone should have it". The world has changed 🙌 1password.com/blog/from-m...

Hey hey, everyone 👋 Today we're looking at a few updates we brought to Avo 4. New theming, buttons, breadcrumbs and discreet information. We also talk a little bit about what we're focusing on next. Avo 4 Public Beta is closer and closer than before. youtu.be/FflnZwbJ-7Q

Yes, @therubypassport.com is a bit of a handful, but it's something that only the Ruby Community has (AFAIK). Check out what goes into 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
