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/...

I continue to fund @hanamirb.org because I believe in @timriley.info as a leader who will create communities that welcome everyone, not just a select few. He, to me, represents the heart of Ruby and I am proud to support him and Hanami.

Today's stream over at twitch.tv/ChaelCodes went well, despite some issues with connectivity. I added PgSearch to MeetAnother.day, and it was shockingly smooth and easy! You can now search for profiles by name or handle. PR: github.com/ChaelCodes/M...

Here's a write-up of @xoruby Atlanta! This was such a fun and cool event! www.chael.codes/blog/2025/09...

I was in the room with @mike.contribsys.com when we confronted Ruby Central’s executive leadership over their decision to invite DHH to RailsConf (which sponsors were not made aware of ahead of time). They knew that multiple sponsors had a problem with the continued relationship.

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

I've been iterating on "Play with your Code"! Programming games make programming fun through a joyful developer experience. We're going to explore practical tips for your day job inspired by programming games! I'm very excited! Please come see it!!✨

When considering any incident it is valuable to consider all perspectives and remember that at the end of the day we all love ruby and want it to succeed. apiguy.substack.com/p/a-board-me...

Inspired by @chaelcodes.bsky.social ’s @xoruby.com talk, and a love of Base16 as a color schema; I’ve put together a repo you can use to start making your own color schemes using the Tinted Theming project’s tooling: github.com/practical…

🌇 Atlanta, it's been real! Another XO Ruby event for the books filled with incredible speakers, vibes, and the best of what the community has to offer. We hope to see you at the next one and beyond. ❤️

I had such an incredible time at @xoruby.com today! I'm really grateful to @jremsikjr.bsky.social and the folks at @beflagrant.com for putting this together. Regional conferences and the energy from in-person events can't be beat!

Physically exhausted, emotionally over-stimulated. Wouldn’t have it any other way. People are awesome. They just need an excuse to break out of their routines and be encouraged to be curious of possible futures.

Still riding the high from XORuby 🐎 It wasn’t just the talks or the code—it was 𝐲𝐨𝐮. #XORuby #RubyCommunity #ThankYou

It's hard for me to believe that in 2 days I'll be on stage!! This is my 3rd full-length talk, and it's not perfect, but it exists, and I hope everyone comes away with at least one helpful tip to make their DX a little more fun!

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

I'm thrilled to announce @josevalim.bsky.social speaking at the #SFRuby conference on Nov 19-20. José will talk about how he sees programming languages evolving for AI, which is something we touched on when he visited SF last time. We want your thoughts on the topic! sfruby.com/schedule/#na...

Our Chicago Event is right around the corner on September 6. Come for the speakers and take away a load of benefits that may surprise you. www.xoruby.com/blog/the-une...

The context swapping between these two is real rough. Poor sleepy lizard. 💚

l'm glad that @rubycentral.org is going to be able to focus their time and energy on RubyConf, but I'm going to really miss RailsConf. I've been going since 2017, and I'm glad I attended the last one. ❤️

I've been really enjoying these streams by @push.cx ! He explains the technical decisions behind lobste.rs and how those impact the community and project. He reviews PRs and issues live on stream, often with the people who created them. It's always a good time!

We're traveling the country over the next 9 weeks bringing regional Ruby conferences to your backyard. Put your shoes on and get out of the house for a day to meet some #rubyfriends new and old. www.xoruby.com/events/ Follow us here or #Subscribe on the website.

"it would probably cost the government $10-20 per return are you sure you want a free filling option? 🥺" Yes dummy that's what my taxes ARE FOR. Go take the survey folks and watch out for the leading questions. www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs...

I'm speaking at XO Ruby Atlanta! The talk is about programming games! How rad and cool they are, but more importantly, what they can teach us about Developer Experience. @xoruby.com is a series of 6 affordable, regional gatherings in cities across the US. www.xoruby.com/event/atlanta

Stream was fun today! We're working on meetanother.day - an app for meeting up with friends at conferences. Today we started off refactoring and improving the UX for Friendship and discovered a privacy issue where profiles were visible to people who'd been blocked! github.com/ChaelCodes/M...

Ruby and Rails startups manage to inspire me every single day, thanks to @evilmartians.com. My dream is that they inspire YOU too. And it's happening! Here are the first ten Ruby startups that will demo their products at the #SFRuby conference in November, to inspire and connect with you all 💙

I'm speaking at @xoruby.com in Atlanta! The lineup is going to be amazing, and I'm practicing the talk over this week. It'll be my first one, and I'm *extremely* fired up to talk about how urgently we need to fix the juniors pipeline. www.xoruby.com/event/atlanta/

Community fuels our fun, creates career opportunities, and provides connection. Let's rebuild it together. These events are designed to make that happen. www.xoruby.com/

We'll be hosting small regional ruby conferences in Chicago, Atlanta, and New Orleans in September. Tell your friends! www.xoruby.com/blog/why-i-a...

I'm going to be speaking at @xoruby.com Atlanta on September 13th. XO Ruby is a brand-new (traveling) single-day Ruby conference. If you're a Rubyist in the southeastern US, you should check it out! (And if not, take a look at other 5 stops this fall.)

I'll be speaking at XO Ruby Atlanta! It'll be a full-length version of the lightning talk I gave at RailsConf on Programming Game DX! Tickets are $100, and as noted below, it is September 13th. This is a cozy event for 60-100 people like Blue Ridge Ruby was. Hope to see you there! ✨

August 3rd is my 6-year streamiverssary!! To celebrate, I'll be streaming on Twitch at 15:00 UTC. There's another reason to celebrate though - this officially marks my return to streaming! I'll be streaming at my usual time from here on out - every Thursday at 15:00 UTC!! twitch.tv/ChaelCodes

The recordings from the final RailsConf 2025 are now also live on @rubyevents.org! #railsconf #railsconf2025 @rubycentral.org

I'm speaking at @xoruby.com in Atlanta, you should come if you care about your team's survivability & the future of our language. 😉 www.xoruby.com/event/atlanta/ Also: first rehearsal of this talk came in at 19m, so I need to sloooooowwwww doooowwwwnnnnnnn

I'm thrilled to be bringing my workshop on how to deep-dive into Rails in person to SFRuby. Come join and let's get you upskilled 🔥

I'll be speaking on what we can learn about DX from programming games at this one!✨ I'm really excited!! It'll be about 600 ppl, and November 19-20 (with unofficial community events on 21st). Tickets are $450. Please come! ✨

The talk is here on @rubyevents.org: www.rubyevents.org/talks/the-mo... Or here on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTL2...

My RailsConf 2025 talk recording was just published in case you weren't able to attend the talk in person! I'd appreciate if you could give Herb a try on your app, hear your pain points with the current View Layer in Rails, and get feedback/ideas for what you think ReActionView should look like!

San Francisco Ruby Conference CFP is closed with 89 proposals (not including Ruby startup demo applications)–thank you all! The program committee is now reviewing them, and we plan to communicate the results on July 22. I'm excited for how it's coming together!
