I had fun prototyping a TUI for running and monitoring Procfile-based applications, similar to `foreman` or `overmind`, but built with the Charm Ruby libraries ✨

I'm trying something new… need to add in-app purchases to your Hotwire Native app? 👉 purchasekit.dev

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 ⬇️

If you're going to write semantic CSS classes in 2025, don't call them .btn or .card. Use a ui-* prefix: ui-button, ui-input, ui-badge. Here's why naming matters more than you think...

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.

Well, my wish came true 🙌 www.writesoftwarewell.com/rails-combin...

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

ActiveRecord has become practically synonymous with SQL database access in Ruby, but it's not the only way to talk to SQL stores. Today we'll explore Sequel, a wonderfully rich tool for interacting with many different SQL RDBMSes. graceful.dev/courses/tapa...

It's disappointing that auto-insertion of "end" after typing "def foo<enter>" isn't implementable via LSP "on type formatting". Ruby LSP makes it work with VSCode, but it relies on snippet syntax to bring the cursor back inside the method body, which isn't in the spec. So, it doesn't work in Zed.

🌶️ #nobuild is a solo developer philosophy masquerading as universal advice. The append-only CSS problem that drove teams to Tailwind? Nobuild doesn't solve it. It ignores it. Let me make the case for #lowbuild instead...

Wanted to write an article, but can't install Jekyll anymore because EventMachine fails to build native extensions. I guess it's time to migrate to Bridgetown 🙂

Have you noticed how great the Ruby docs looks like for the master? docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/ Thank you @st0012.dev and the entire team contributing to RDoc for these improvements.

@fractaledmind.bsky.social Cool idea to prefix affordance classes with ui-* from your article 👍 We're not using distinct naming, which makes it harder to decouple from Bootstrap. I think this plus components is our ticket out of those legacy shackles. BTW, you're missing a Bluesky profile link 😉

Ever forget whether it's "change_table" or "alter_table", "remove_column" or "drop_column", "set_column_null" or "change_column_null"? You don't? Well, I do 😄 So, I thought it would be cool if Ruby LSP could autocomplete schema statements in migrations ✨ github.com/Shopify/ruby...

Fabulous post from @robzolkos.com www.zolkos.com/2025/12/03/v... We use a lot of these techniques in Web Awesome. Color-mix, :has, css nesting, layers, etc CSS and HTML continue to get more and more powerful , and we all benefit as a result. A rising tide lifts all boats.

South Park is no longer watchable if you’re not from USA.

This is just what it’s like to review PRs in GitHub now. There’s only a small chance to see the code, it’s not guaranteed — assuming you can even load the page. Well done GitHub. 👏 You had one job.

@vinistock.bsky.social @st0012.dev I'm implementing autocompletion for schema statements in AR migration files. However, having trouble detecting whether I'm in a migration file. E.g. for `class CreateUsers < AR::Migration[8.1]`, `index.resolve("CreateUsers", []).parent_class` returns `::Object`.

I never used Solargraph, and when Ruby LSP came along I saw it as a modern successor, but didn't realize people are missing YARD support. I haven't used YARD in any of my gems, and stdlib doesn't use it. I believe YARD annotations are powerful, but aiming for (inline) RBS seems more future-proof.

Excited for the new Universal Indexer 🤞 I found it interesting how Ruby LSP's indexer is written almost as a separate gem, I'm curious what the reworked indexer will improve.

@adamwathan.com The FAQ for Tailwind Plus doesn't mention the new custom elements package. I almost wasn't sure whether it's included in the license, even though I knew I read it in the article 😄 I'm considering buying Tailwind Plus almost exclusively for that library, as we don't use React/Vue.

Workspace symbol search on Ruby LSP should be working much smoother now on 0.26.3, @vinistock.bsky.social and I made a bunch of fixes recently 🤘 github.com/Shopify/ruby... github.com/Shopify/ruby... github.com/Shopify/ruby...

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! 🌿

The Ruby extension for @zed.dev just got better! Huge thanks to @marcoroth.dev for adding `zed-comment` support (including all ERB languages) and RBS inline syntax highlighting! You can find full release notes at github.com/zed-extensio...

Also coming in Herb v0.8.0, the long awaited Tailwind CSS class sorting feature in the Herb Formatter! 🌿 Here is a demo of that working in @zed.dev using the new `.herb.yml` configuration file! 😍

I can’t accept importmap-rails downloading and vendoring JS packages. I feel like I’m back in the pre-Sprockets era.

...and it's up 🤘 github.com/Shopify/ruby...

I'm excited to share that I became a Ruby committer today! A 10 year goal since RubyKaigi 2015. Huge thanks to @bernsteinbear.com for the JIT mentorship and nomination, @k0kubun.com for years of guidance, and everyone who supported me along the way. Looking forward to improving Ruby and its DX!

Inline RBS is the only gradual typing for Ruby I can get behind. Sorbet’s RBI was way too verbose, as it had to be valid Ruby, but at least it was inline. RBS was more compact, but required separate files. Inline RBS is just comments, and I imagine it has advantages over YARD.

It seems I've developed a newfound interest for language servers 🙂 They have just unlocked for me recently. It started with a contribution to Stimulus LSP, afterwards I wanted to fix issues I've been experiencing with Ruby LSP. Kudos to Shopify for solving difficult problems like indexing 🙇‍♂️

With all Ruby LSP fixes for workspace symbol search underway, I would like to take a stab at adding a new feature. Rails.vim had a neat feature where you can follow render calls in view templates via `gf`. I'm exploring adding the same feature to Ruby LSP Rails via "go to definition" 🤞

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?...

We're using Chamber for application secrets/settings at work, and probably the only that's keeping me from switching to Rails credentials is the ability to override any value with an environment variable. That's really a killer feature, both Chamber and AnyConfig support it.

So, the reason why project symbol search isn't working reliably in Zed is that Ruby LSP: 1. returns malformed results for method aliases 2. doesn't support request cancellation (Zed doesn't debounce atm) 3. searches gems as well, which is 3.5x slower, and adds up because of 2.

The 37signals team must be patting themselves on the back during this AWS outage 😄

I wrote about some of my thoughts on the lessons we can learn from the RubyGems situation and how we can move forward. blog.peterzhu.ca/open-source-...

If anyone using @zed.dev has also been experiencing empty symbol search results from Ruby LSP, please give this a 👍 github.com/zed-industri...

I was trying out Stimulus LSP in Zed, and was consistently seeing duplicates in controller autocompletion. I didn't know whether the bug was in Zed, the Zed extension for Stimulus, Stimulus LSP or stimulus-parser 😅 It seems like it was the latter – github.com/marcoroth/st...

The Herb Linter by @marcoroth.dev just works™ It caught both the fact that we're missing double quotes and that we've used `<% %>` instead of `<%= %>`. And it automatically produced GitHub-compatible output 👌

Look at me making contributions to the Zed ecosystem 😌 github.com/vitallium/ze... github.com/zed-extensio...

Balanced take on passkeys, and a direct response to DHH article on failing to go all-in on passkeys. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP-7... Key takeaways: offering passkeys as 2nd factor is good for security, allowing passkey login makes for super fast login experience.

My team at Plane is hiring experienced full stack engineers. We use Rails, Postgres, Phlex, Vite, TypeScript and Svelte. I don’t have a full job description yet, but drop me a DM if you want to know more.

It's empowering to give AI a failing test because then iteration is no longer on you. AI: I'll try to fix the problem, let's run the test… AI: I used the API that doesn't exist, let me try to use the correct API… AI: that API doesn't exist either, I'll search the docs… Me: yeah maybe you should

Bundler belongs to the Ruby community andre.arko.net/2025/09/25/b...

I have fact-checked Ruby Central’s claims here joel.drapper.me/p/ruby-centr...

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

There's got to be a better way to do dynamic nested fields in Rails than replacing a placeholder in a HTML string. github.com/stimulus-com... I wish the `<template>` tag was more powerful, that it supported some kind of interpolation. I know there is Handlebars, but I want something native.

TIL about the "hidden" attribute for HTML elements – developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... Why am I still using a "hidden" CSS class then? 🤔

I've done my best to summarize the situation and offer my initial thoughts here: skillissue.jardo.dev/archive/ruby...

The summary of the situation is: - the RubyGems and Bundler team had their access revoked, un-revoked, and re-revoked w/o being told why - the Ruby Central board supported this - the Director of Open Source implemented it - it took TEN DAYS to get an explanation - the explanation makes no sense
