The recording from my talk at @sfruby.com is up! It's about exploring the DX of 3 programming games, and what lessons we can bring back to our Ruby DX. www.rubyevents.org/talks/play-w...

#rubyrelease30th I’d like to introduce Aliki, RDoc and docs.ruby-lang.org’s new theme 😄 railsatscale.com/2025-12-22-i...

Deployed -- omg my little Rails app actually works!! 😭 travel-heatmap.onrender.com Vibe coded entirely in my browser in ~6 hours. Sign up, create your own travel heat map, and share it with your friends!! 🗺️

I'll stream Lobsters Office Hours in about 40 minutes. I'm going to take a holiday break (happy holidays!) so the following stream will be Monday Jan 5. There's some PRs from @chael.codes to improve dev setup, plus some controller maintenance. Drop in anytime for the next couple hours.

The new website looks so good!! I think it looks even better in dark mode on mobile! The animations are so smooth and so good!!

Last call! Program Committee applications close on December 22. If you're passionate about shaping RubyConf’s content — from keynote visioning to speaker selection — this is your chance to have a meaningful impact. Apply here → docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

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-...

Hey! If you bought your ticket to Blue Ridge Ruby, go add yourself to RubyEvents, so we can all see who's going!

I'm going!! I'm so excited to see Blue Ridge Ruby return!

RubyConf isn’t just a conference—it’s community-built. Our Program Committee thoughtfully shapes the talks that define RubyConf each year. Want to be part of it? Applications are open through December 22. Help shape the conversations guiding Ruby into 2026 + beyond. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'M SO EXCITED THAT BLUE RIDGE RUBY IS BACK!!!! I put it on my calendar! ✨

Bank of America more than tripled my mortgage payments right before the holidays… If you’re still looking for gifts (or maybe something for yourself), consider buying them from my friendly little game store. Happy to make recommendations! 🥲💖 opalgrovegames.com

Me to the 3 year old: Yeah, that's what missing someone means. Missing someone is when you wish you could go and you always want to be with them. But sometimes, you can't go with them. Like right now, even if she wants to go and she'll miss us, alligator can't go with us to the grocery store.

I hope this means Blue Ridge Ruby is coming back!!🤞 I had so much fun last year and regretted missing the first year!✨

This was a great read. So many insights for launching something new. www.actiondigest.com/p/to-launch-...

RubyConf 2026 is headed to Las Vegas; off-Strip! We’ll be at Red Rock Casino Resort, surrounded by mountain views, quiet spaces to connect, and easy access to Red Rock Canyon. We chose it for the balance of convenience, nature, and room to recharge. More details soon!

Update on this- It is infinitely easier to do AoC while laying in bed instead of while chatting with 30+ people concurrently and adopting their suggestions. github.com/ChaelCodes/a...

I love this!!! 😍 This first-person narrative of an AoC solution is so delightful and fun!!

The next version of the Herb Language Server will ship with "unnecessary diagnostics" for all ERB control flow tags! It dims any branches or expressions that are unnecessary, helping you quickly see which parts aren’t used or executed. 🌿

CC and I both have pink eye and I've had a nasty cold for over a week now. Stream Thursday is cancelled, and I'll probably have to take AoC offline this year. :/ Sorry friends. :(

I had an incredible time at SF Ruby Conference! The venue, talks, and conversations were all top tier. See why in this blog! ✨ www.chael.codes/blog/2025/11... #sfruby #sfruby2025

The Ruby community needs to know what happened last week in San Francisco at @sfrubyconf.com last week 🙌 blog.adrianthedev.com/sf-ruby-202...

Back home from a fantastic @sfruby.com conference and 10 days in San Francisco. A packed schedule of talks, hack day at #angellist and many great conversations. The #ruby community really still is something special. Thanks @inazarova.bsky.social and team who put in so much in to make this happen.

Had an incredible time at @sfruby.com Fantastic talks, amazing people, and great vibes across the board So much to dig into and unpack around tooling, AI, development patterns and our collective ownership in the future of Rails Community day was such a great finish

The San Francisco Ruby Conference (@sfruby.com) just concluded and I'm incredibly honored and grateful to have been part of it. The conversations, ideas, and encouragement over the past few days were a reminder of how special the energy of the Ruby community really is! ♥️ #sfruby #sfruby2025

We need to be louder! Surprisingly few people in the broader engineering community understand that Ruby powers a disproportionally huge amount of Bay Area's most successful startups. From GitHub and Stripe to Chime and Stackblitz, Ruby powers teams that go HUGE with less.

Let's go to @sfruby.com !! This time I'm trying something new and all talks and posts will be replies to this post.

🚨 INTRODUCING: Ruby Around The World A YouTube series & newsletter aiming to bridge gaps between local Ruby communities globally, starting in Japan. 🇯🇵 My first guest (& newsletter collaborator) is @okuramasafumi.com, Chief Organizer of #KaigiOnRails! Subscribe 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQBU...

Lobsters Office Hours streams in about an hour. I've got that username UI to finish up if you want to watch maintenance, but mostly it's open door time, you can drop in with questions anytime. More info and archive: https://push.cx/stream

Friendly PSA for everyone travelling to @sfrubyconf.com: Bring your Ruby Passports with you 🙌

Don’t miss out on SFRuby next week! Whether you're a seasoned developer or brand new to the language, this is the place to connect, learn, and celebrate the ecosystem we love! luma.com/sfrubyconf2025

In the age of LLM agents, the intruder is already inside the house. If you're running Claude Code in dangerous mode, a prompt injection attack is one bash call away from exfiltrating almost anything that's unlocked on your machine, or using your (auth'd) gh cli to steal your repo

Herb v0.8 is here! 🚀 The biggest release yet, packed with new language bindings, Linter Autofix support, Linter Fix-on-Save, a new `.herb.yml` config file, formatter improvements, Tailwind Class Sorting integration, and a ton of performance, tooling and LSP improvements! 🌿

I'm getting my Ruby Passport at @sfruby.com !! 🛂🌐📕 I'm so excited! ✨

I can't wait!!! ✨

Jared's being way too humble here. If you're looking for thoughtful questions about tech philosophy paired with some metal riffs, check out Dead Code! You can find short audio quotes from recent episodes on @deadcode.website so you can sample it before you subscribe.

XO Ruby Atlanta was fantastic, and from the sidelines, the rest of them sound incredible too! If you get a chance to go to an XO Ruby event in the future - do it!

Ruby Central has opened board applications for next year: rubycentral.teamtailor.com/jobs/6723164... I’ll be rolling off the board to have another baby and stuff, so I’d really love if you’d apply and/or share this with anyone who’s interested in being involved.

It started when I interviewed 20 Ruby startup founders last year. Gave a keynote (!) at RailsConf. Launched SF Ruby meetup. Now it's coming together: the missing open source (AI, frontend), Ruby startups, Ruby devs. Learning from each other. Building the future. Together. In Ruby. At @sfruby.com

Guess who's got two free tickets to give away for the first edition of @sfruby.com? 👉 🙋‍♂️👨‍💻 👈 Just comment below the answer to this riddle to get a chance to get one. p [ [65, 118, 111], [105, 115], [116, 104, 101], [98, 101, 115, 116] ].map { |w| w.map(&:chr).join }.join(' ')

This was incredibly fun!

This month I'm focusing on Lobste.rs! I've been really enjoying @push.cx's Twitch streams, and now I want to contribute! All streams at 15:00 UTC. * 11/6 - @push.cx joins as a special guest * 11/13 - 🦞 * 11/20 - No Stream - I'm at @sfruby.com ✨ * 11/27 - No Stream - Thanksgiving 🦃

My PR on Mastodon finally merged!! Tbh, I had given up on this one so it was a nice surprise today! github.com/mastodon/mas...

I GOT MY TICKET!!! I'm going to Tropical!!! I've been wanting to go since the first edition, but between tickets selling out, and maternity leave, I haven't been able to make it. I'm so HYPED!! I can't wait to finally go!!!!

Another feature shipping in the upcoming Herb v0.8.0 release is the ability to disable specific linter rules using comments. The Herb Language Server will also include Quick Fix Code Actions to make disabling rules effortless. 🌿
