Major FOMO today. I wish I could have been at Ruby World. And SF Ruby Conf to see @inazarova.bsky.social vision come to life. And RubyCon Italy. So many great Ruby events around the world this year!

Debug technique I use in some occasions:

Define global variable $foo where you collect stuff, maybe in different places.

Then, at_exit { pp $foo }.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

During Hacktoberfest, I normally like to explore, push myself, and contribute to other people's projects.

Today on stream, we added a "Mutual Events" tab to a profile on RubyEvents.org, so you can see which events you and someone else are both attending!!

Super special thanks to @marcoroth.dev. ✨

I had three people from Brazil on a call recently because they wanted to start contributing to Puma but were unsure of where to start. This is something I've done for years and I've always loved it. We sometimes get really important new contributors from these convos.
