Dear gem maintainers 👋

Rails 8.1 just dropped, but many gems can’t be used because of overly strict gemspec constraints.

Please don’t hard-restrict Rails versions, let us test early and report real issues sooner! ❤️

Thanks

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted.

Dear Rubyists: Shopify Isn’t Your Enemy

We now show a new "Mutual Events" tab when viewing an other person's @rubyevents.org profile!

Thanks to @chaelcodes.bsky.social for this great contribution!

I agree and even more so: what if the problem is us, the Ruby community, not contributing to our key nonprofit enough? We did not have ownership because we didn’t show up, and RC ended up being squeezed by a big donor because they did not have enough sponsors, stability and support.
*Taps sign* If you don't like it do something about it, and complaining on social media counts for nothing.
RE: Ruby Central funding, and a consolidation of power with companies like Shopify.

For years now the lead funder of Ruby and Rails initiatives has been Shopify, full stop. They've contributed heavily in both time and money, and through that have left a substantial impact on Ruby and Rails.

I waste way too much time binging random crap on Youtube. If I need downtime, I might just as well watch something useful, right?

I think I found a hack to help with that.

Now I just redirect to RubyEvents and watch some talk 😅

I just released Herb v0.4.3! 🎉

It's been another super productive week for Herb! This week I mostly focused on improving the formatter and fixing bugs in general!

It's starting to take shape and feels great to use! I really love where this is going! ❤️

I would like to improve the user experience on RubyEvents for watching content. What would be the killers features for you to make it your default viewing platform.

Please comment with what ever ideas you might have everything is always valuable

I think that an achievement for @rubyevents.org is that I see more and more people sharing links to a talk on RubyEvents rather than YouTube

As announced at RubyKaigi today, I've been working on a new HTML-Aware ERB Parser that I just released today.

Introducing Herb — a fast, modern, and HTML-aware ERB parser, designed from the ground up for smarter developer tooling.

Great to see @adrienpoly.com and @marcoroth.dev with Ruby Video trending on trending on HN today after the Ruby Concurrency talk by @jpcamara.com hit the top spot yesterday.

Ruby’s having a good run right now and it’s not even Christmas yet!

It is now live in prod will get a look tomorrow at @appsignal.com to see if we had any free performance improvements 😋
RubyVideo was successfully deployed to staging with rc1 and I will promote this to prod as soon as github action setup-ruby is updated. Not issues at all from what I could see 👏

Ok this wasn't expected...

I removed spring from my main app. We got to a point where our boot is much faster thanks to Rails 8 and some optimisations, so spring wasn't worth anymore.

Unexpected consequence our CI on Github went from about 10min down to 7min 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯.

don't ask me WHY
