Whoa nice! If you're hesitant to try @jj-vcs.dev because you're a Magit user maybe try this out

Announcing the winners of the 2026 Gem Fellowship! gem.coop/updates/2026...

vtuber is short for vpotato

@andycroll.bsky.social is there any chance there will ever be more physical copies of the poignant guide? I have just seen the conference guestbook copy and now I really want one of my own 😅

gem.coop has news! we've just released dependency cooldowns (in beta), a strong defense against supply chain attacks gem.coop/updates/4/

if my favorite author is jane austen, does that mean i have regency bias?

"wifi" is short for wireless fireless

Hyped to see rv reach v0.4 - spinel.coop/blog/rv-clea... - I've been enjoying working on it with @indirect.io, @adamchalmers.com, and the @spinel.coop folks!

rv 0.4 can install your project gems now. Locked gems only so far, but that's still super exciting. Try it out, and tell us what you want next! spinel.coop/blog/rv-clea...

last night on this boat the 7yo was trying to give a clue for "YouTube" and screamed "the opposite of Netflix!!!". I am still trying to recover today

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charm.land's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby. A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more! Demos below ⬇️

i dove into a soft soap dispenser from 2003 🐟🐠🪸 (jk this is raja ampat 2025)

merry christmas, and happy ruby 4.0! rv.dev has Ruby 4 ready to try in about one second: `rv ruby install 4.0.0`. enjoy!

Why is it called a bug log when you log in the bug of out hot eat the bug

rv 0.3 is out, adding code signatures, automatic install during run, and ruby 4.0.0-preview2 (as well as ruby 0.49, why not). check it out! github.com/spinel-coop/...

@indirect.io: san francisco’s getting upzoned me: what’s upzoned? indirect: not much, what’s up with you?

Reminder, this Friday all my open source code is available at a 50% discount!

i never realized that i had an aspiration to be a cto until today when i learned that bandai has a chief tamagotchi officer

very frustrating that GitHub has set an official runner policy that macOS open source projects can’t build for users once their OS is 13 months old

browsers should be allowed to display the <li> in a <ul> in whatever order they like

time to pay for a subscription to defector based on one article

Took this moment with my iMac being down to instead use `rv` by @indirect.io and team. Holy wow that thing _flies_.

"By doing things voters wanted, he set unrealistic expectations. Soon, voters will expect ALL politicians to represent their interests. Then where will we be?” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/yea...

well fuck

Holy shit what a banger

sudden intrusive thought: stack overflow is just the oral tradition, kept alive by programmers who only know how to speak in posts

Karl Marx failed to anticipate build systems

the former maintainers of Bundler and RubyGems have a proposal: we want to move Ruby forward andre.arko.net/2025/10/26/w...

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?...

closing all my tickets as wontfix because the software is provided as-is

I'm very excited to see more tooling inspired by `uv` for Ruby. @rubyelders.bsky.social just announced Ruby Butler: rubyelders.com/writings/202...

address: 東京都世田谷区北沢２丁目２７−10 open 1-7pm today!

today is the last day to see @shirleywu.studio’s and my interactive ceramics & data science art show at such as gallery in shimokitazawa, tokyo!

I genuinely can't believe people are boosting the "ruby core has taken ownership of bundler" thing like it's supposed to smooth everything over. all it does it reinforce the fact the bundler team had their project stolen with ruby central acting as a fence

thought exercise: on what grounds would the node foundation be able to take control of npm. if you're hailing the bundler takeover as obviously good, you ought to have an answer to this question

i’m so proud of us!! @shirleywu.studio and i set up our collaboration art show at suchas gallery in 下北沢, tokyo which will run through 10/19! it’s an interactive ceramics installation that shows how sakura bloom dates and maple & ginkgo color change dates have shifted over the past 7 decades

It’s getting very difficult to contort any sort of story that could explain good faith from Ruby Central at this point.

4. It hasn’t explained to the community what kind of pressure it was under to perform this takeover or who were pressuring them. 5. It hasn’t rescheduled the Q&A that was promised to the community. 6. It has refused to come to the table and negotiate with the maintainers and/or community members.

As of right now: 1. Ruby Central is *still* in possession of the GitHub organisation and gems that it stole. 2. It hasn’t published any kind of justification for this. 3. It has threatened an ex employee for responsibly disclosing that it left him with root access to live production systems.

Every step of the way, we have engaged in good faith. Every step of the way, they decided to treat us as disposable and shit on our reputations. Ruby Central needs to take a real good look in the mirror, stop digging themselves into a deeper hole, and make some very significant and public changes.

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...

This is the first release since I started contributing! A lot of my changes, like tests, fuzzing, benchmarks, nushell support, Intel Mac support and parsing the new download format for 3.3.x, are now released. It's been fun working on a new open source Rust tool.

rv.dev version 0.2 is released, adding support for bash, fish, and nushell, as well as macOS on x86 and linux on ARM. we have added Ruby 3.3 as well as 3.4, and compiled in YJIT support for every version. try it out! github.com/spinel-coop/...

just realized the dril drunk driving tweet also works for regular driving

We're so very excited to have André Arko (@indirect.io) with us today presenting what makes and keeps an app production-ready. ... and I hear he'll be back on the stage for lightning talks too!

A generational fumble by Ruby Central is now complete. Anyway, I'm happy that the people who disagreed decided to get up and Do Something By Coding. I love to see that and can 100% get behind it 👍

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