After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life. I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness. Join me in building a better future: okayfail.com/2025/in-prai...

we have got to primary these fuckers

Filipa’s long essay about DHH’s transformation is one of the best I’ve read so far and you should read it too (yes, the whole thing). It’s been nearly two months since “As I remember London” and people are still posting about it. Maybe we’re finally at an inflection point?

omg there’s nobody else in my row section, almost makes up for the 1.5 hour delay

omg someone just boarded my plane clutching a FFXIII edition PS3. fuck yeah

“We’ve heard rumors that our takeover of RubyGems and Bundler was orchestrated by Shopify, DHH, and The Rails Foundation. We understand your concerns and hope that our addition of a Rails Foundation board member to our Open Source Committee helps clarify things.”

Cope harder bitch

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

PDX ✈️ SFO 📍Portland International Airport / Portland / OR

Mamdani won. prop 50 passed. every district in VA swung left. is this hope???

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

I saw they called with with less than 2% of votes in and was like “wait, how?”. Now I get it. Makes sense.

pretty good day so far. don’t fuck this up, California

YESSS HELL FUCKING YES

never thought i’d be this heavily invested in a local election on the opposite side of the country, in a city i’ve only ever visited, but god damn do i need Mamdani to win

welp, a cat hit me in the eye and now i gotta take eye drops every four hours

bought a kabocha squash earlier this week and it’s already molding. never seen that before

「OK」ですか？

returning to my fave roaster 📍Push X Pull / Portland / OR

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles. Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

> The judge wondered, “Did the plaintiff bring a lock and a beer can?” (The plaintiff did not.) She appeared to be quite disappointed when it was clear there would be no live shimming demonstration in the courtroom. the judge probably just really needed a beer too

so many people tweeting "how are 40 million Americans on food stamps" the supplemental poverty rate is ~12% and there are ~350 million people here, do the math why does nobody google even the most basic facts about reality man

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

I wrote my most personal blog post to date. It summarizes some of my personal feelings and experiences in the Ruby/Rails community. afomera.dev/posts/2025-1...

Did you know #hanamirb has a discord server? It's a great place to learn about Hanami, Dry, and ROM!!

The team that managed rubygems was formed by building social connections with people that cared enough to work on rubygems in their free time. It is at its core a trust based team of equals. This is why corporate takeovers that take advantage of that trust hurt so much. Trust is all we had.

Remember how @nataliethenerd.com made the Lego Game Boy play carts for real? She's going to sell a drop-in kit. It's called the Build a Boy. Everything I know right here: www.theverge.com/games/805673...

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?...

oh my god i thought i’d been losing control of my hands or something

the hollow, superficial corpospeak continues
