A few months ago, I recorded a podcast with Jack from @tuple.app 🥹 It's an episode in their Distributed podcast (tuple.app/distributed/). I talk about async work, long-form writing, Slack withdrawal symptoms, and my personal approach to work. If you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9h...

My #RailsWorld talk is live if you'd like to watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lut2...

Just listened to @jremsikjr.bsky.social on the Remote Ruby podcast with @excid3.com - XO Ruby sounds like it's going to be an incredible time. Small conferences are the best! I hope everyone that made it to Chicago loved it. Starting to recover from my Rails World FOMO and now I've got XO Ruby FOMO

My office coworker, asleep on the job.

Updated JumpstartRails.com apps to Rails 8.1 beta and started running it in production. Everything is going smoothly so far!

Now that I'm home from #RailsWorld, just cut a new release of Noticed that adds support for Rails 8.1 github.com/excid3/noticed

May have went a bit off the Rails™ in my Rails World talk this year...

The more I work on my Rails World talk, the more ideas I get. Lots of good stuff I'm excited to share. Only 2 weeks away!

Found an 8 year old db snapshot collecting $0.06 a month for years on AWS. It was hiding in a region that's not used for anything else on this account. Love AWS.

@excid3.com thanks for being at my RailsConf talk and mentioning it on the Remote Ruby recap episode.

🚨 #RemoteRuby with @marcoroth.dev 🚨 @excid3.com & I sit down with @marcoroth.dev to talk: • The pain of ERB 😵‍💫 • What Herb is and why it’s spicy 🌿 • Formatting, linting, hot reloading & better DX • React components in your ERB?! 👀 • Conference stories & #Ruby ecosystem love ⬇️⬇️ Link below! ⬇️⬇️

After being on the other side and listening for so long, it was an honor to join Remote Ruby this week! We talked about Herb, Rails view templates, editor tooling, formatting/linting, the future of the Rails View Layer, and more! Link to the episode in the next post!

Thanks to @excid3.com and @andrewm.codes for having me! Listen here: www.remoteruby.com/2260490/epis...

I might have to port @gorails.com to Wordpress for April Fools. 🤔

Finally got around to revisiting @excid3.com's talk on Hotwire and the usage of different Turbo options (from @tropicalonrails.bsky.social) www.youtube.com/live/9LekwjC... [SPOILERS] Chris recommends: 1. Reaching for Turbo Refreshes FIRST 2. Turbo Frames next 3. Streams LAST Thank you, Chris 🙏

Just updated sellrepo.com with better instructions on how to create a GitHub token. They're quite confusing and I couldn't find the right page on GitHub again, so now it's as simple as clicking a link in the setup instructions. 🎉

This episode also has a massive argument between @excid3.com & I about whether @johnnunemaker.com should cut a 1.0 release of httparty.

Turnaround in record time, the Railsconf 2025 talks have been published! If you missed my keynote in person: here’s your opportunity. Now excuse me while I go binge all the talks I missed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-lq...

All the talks from the final RailsConf are now posted! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

💎 Cut a new release of Noticed with a --bulk flag for the delivery method generator + better usage instructions for custom delivery methods. github.com/excid3/noticed

FerrumPDF now adds custom renderers to Rails for a much cleaner integration. You now call "render" just like you would for JSON or HTML and out pops a PDF of the page. @gorails.com lesson on this soon!

💎 Cut the 1.0 release for ferrum_pdf Browser creation is now thread safe and I think we're settled on the interface, so figured it was time for 1.0! github.com/excid3/ferru...

Added a new lesson to Learn Hotwire for using custom layouts without breaking Turbo Frames. 🎉 learnhotwire.com/sections/mor...

Ruby 3.4.5 is now precompiled for @hatchbox.io users and I've updated @jumpstartrails.com as well. 🎉 www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025...

Cut a new release of FerrumPDF after all the help from Hack Spaces at #RailsConf. We addressed all the issues and PRs and released it as v0.4! github.com/excid3/ferru...

"We want this to be a welcoming place for people who bring kindness, curiosity, and care." This is why when @timriley.info asked if @honeybadger.io would be a founding patron of the @hanamirb.org project, I said please take my money.

Hope you all had a great final @railsconf! We loved hanging out with you all. 💖

Getting quoted in this week's issue of Ruby Weekly is doing wonders for my ego 😄 But seriously....WHEN ARE WE SWITCHING TO @honeybadger.io

I had a blast at #RailsConf! Thank you so much for all the support for and kind words about my presentation on the history of deploying Rails apps. Your appreciation for my work on the faker gem was overwhelming and really touched me. ❤️

Selfie from the #RailsConf stage!

I’m so grateful for @rubycentral.org and #RailsConf: It was great to meet old friends and make new #RubyFriends! It’s amazing to be part of this community, both inspiring and inclusive. I hope we can meet again soon at other regional conferences! ♥️ #RailsConf2025

doodlingdev.bsky.social won #railsconf day 3, as proclaimed by Railsconf World Champion Aaron Patterson. @tenderlove.dev I’m so proud of my keynote speaker and their well-deserved standing ovation!

Thank you for all the hard work you and the other Ruby Central folks put in @excid3.com @ufuk.dev! ❤️

To everyone at RailsConf (#railsconf): It’s been a privilege to work, learn, and laugh with you over the past two decades. It’s been so touching to hear your stories over this last week and it’s a point of pride that I can call you all friends. See you all on the flipside. 🥳🥰

"AI is basically suggesting McDonald's for your code." - @tenderlove.dev

Final day at the final #RailsConf. Last presentation before the last keynote. @excid3.com and @ufuk.dev saying thanks to everyone who makes #Rails and #RailsConf2025 possible.

Thank you @rubycentral.org for having me. It was a beautiful last RailsConf. 19 years. Not bad for a hobby project 😁❤️

We had a blast pairing with folks at the #RailsConf Hack Spaces! 🚀 We ♥️ our community and #OpenSource! #RubyOnRails #Pair #Philadelphia

So many puns in the keynote of keynotes by the one and only Aji Slater. The audience is loving their freshly baked memes! I don’t think @tenderlove.dev will be able to keep up with all their puns. We will see later today! #RailsConf #RubyOnRails #Philadelphia #RailsConf2025

A fun announcement, @davidhill.dev and I are hosting a new podcast from @rubycentral.org. We dropped the first episode at #railsconf. @chadfowler.com joined us for the first episode on how this all got started.

Board game night at #railsconf was packed!

Hundreds of rails devs hacking at #railsconf. Inspiring! #railsconf #railsconf2025

The Ruby Podcast Panel is happening now at RailsConf with @davidhill.dev‬, @drbragg.dev, @excid3.com‬, and Stephanie Minn. #RailsConf2025

Day 1 at #RailsConf2025 and it’s already amazing! 🎉 Loving the energy, insightful talks, and reconnecting with so many familiar faces. RailsConf 2025 attendees if you’re a DNSimple customer, be sure to say hello to our team members @anthonyeden.bsky.social and Laetitia. #RailsConf #RubyOnRails

I'm excited to help with the panel tomorrow at #RailsConf! See you all tomorrow morning!

Starting off community day at RailsConf with the community panel. 🎉

Solid advice by @kaspth.com: Anyone can contribute to #Rails and any #Ruby gem. It’s not so much about reading the source code of the library, but mostly about interacting with it and actively debugging library code. #RailsConf #RailsConf2025

It's been an incredible Day 1 of #RailsConf so far! 🤩 We kicked everything off with remarks from our new Executive Director, Shan Cureton, and the Ruby Central staff, our sponsors Cisco Meraki and Power Home Remodeling, and co-chairs Chris Oliver and Ufuk Kayserilioglu...
