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.

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.
