....you didn't have to do us all like that Jerry, too far man.

Slack went boom, here we go

Don't suppose anyone has connections to folks that work on Prettier? Seeing if I can get a PR in to make it less collapse-happy on destructuring and multi-line calls: github.com/prettier/pre...

Anyone have connections to urban planning, especially around housing and transportation, in NYC? Have a senior engineer I know looking to get their foot in the door.

On the list of petty things I have done is grabbing the `bw` gem entirely for vanity, but also to start putting all the little tools and snippets I keep on collecting into one gem that I can just install and have a kit to play with: github.com/baweaver/bw (It's empty now, mostly parked name atm)

Give @lorencrary.bsky.social some love, PSF made a hard call, but they made the right call: pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... If you have the means consider a donation as well.

That's how you lead with integrity.

Sounds like Ruby is going 4.0 for Christmas this year. Wonder what the final breaking change was that got it over the line for a major bump. Coincidentally it's also the 30th anniversary of Ruby.

How are Ruby folks dealing with larger-scale synthetic testing data creation? Thinking multi-record build-outs with system/domain events to get them to a point as a testing stage. Currently thinking orchestration layer around FactoryBot, but curious what others are up to.

Remember last Friday's wave of US govt accounts joining? Sure enough, mass blocking and ignoring them works, haven't seen anyone mention them in anger in the past day. Starve them of oxygen. it works.

Regarding the recent Ruby Discord drama I've had Molnar blocked on sight across multiple platforms now and nothing of value has been lost. He's more interested in incendiary politics and starting shit than he is actually talking tech. Block and move on, he's not worth the time.

#hugops to AWS right now

Started today knowing basically nothing about Opus Dei. I do not want to admit how many tabs I have open somewhere deep around pelagianism.

It's no secret: We are proud sponsors of the #Hanami framework. ♥️ They recently launched their new sponsorship program and they're actively looking for new sponsors 👉 sponsor.hanamirb.org

Alright, I'm in... ☺️ Who else will I see at SF Ruby?!

They did. We call it Ansible now.

I swear migraine Fridays are becoming a thing.

Rule #1 for me anymore: don't post angry.

Hanami 2.3 beta1 is out! This release introduces Rack 3 support, plus a wide range of improvements and fixes. We’d love your help with testing. Please give it a go! hanamirb.org/blog/2025/10...

the reason I advocate for projects to have a code of conduct is because harassment is never okay. not only is harassment never okay, harassing families and coworkers is even worse. get out of here with that.

Hear hear. Critical public commentary on people's public views is one thing, going after people in their personal lives is wholly unacceptable and undermines any legitimate cause.

this is fucking beyond. written criticism in public is fine, this is absolutely 100% kick-you-out-forever behavior.

there's enough harassment and hate brigading from DHH and his cronies, we don't need to help them by doing it to ourselves and each other

Harassing people’s families over “ethics in open source” is literally Gamergate shit. What the fuck is the world coming to when white men are harassing black women for insufficient defense of DEI? Look at yourselves.

Yeah, this isn’t okay.

Ruby community: Look, we can be angry about what's happening, we can raise our complaints, but under no circumstances should anyone _ever_ harass someone's families, coworkers, or friends. That is completely unacceptable, and wholly against the ethos of the language. We must do better.

i haven't been to an in person conference since... 2019! i'd love to apply to speak at a js conf about all the things i learned making interactive comic websites! what are everyone's current fav javascript events?

a C shanty is what you sing while you wait for a gem with native exensions to compile, right

This. At the end of the day the folks involved want the best for Ruby, and while I might not agree with them I know that that's their end goal. Keep this front and center when navigating everything going on right now.

@nateberkopec.bsky.social DM me when you have a bit.

....did I just drop my apple pencil? Right on the tip? The night before I have a 5AM flight? With hours of art to get done tonight? To best buy it is!

So let me get this straight: we're now at the rumor mongering stage of "it's about ethics in open source!" coming from community leaders who should feel at least some tinge of hypocrisy considering who's ethics they're suspiciously always silent on. I'm disappointed in you all.

I may not personally support it but I find it incredibly telling that the loudest folks trolling PRs and coming over to Bluesky to start things are no-names with no presence whatsoever in the community parroting on about how they outnumber them. Block and ignore, easy, that's all they deserve.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Vert is well intentioned but doomed to fail. I agree with Joel here. Like it or not rails has critical mass beyond anything that could reasonably be forked and maintained without substantial investment (> $10m) and time. By all means prove me wrong, but I don't see it happening.

I just realized the doughnut place nearby is open 24H. This does not bode well for me.

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.

While our sponsorship drive may be ending, you can support us at any time! Join us as we enter our new era. hanamirb.org/blog/2025/08...

It's going to be a long week in Ruby land, but at this point I fully believe Ruby Central is in the wrong here.

As an autistic person this is an inexcusable oversight.

One of the most surreal experiences using AI is when it starts citing your own blog posts and writings back to you to answer questions that you wrote a decade ago.
