I have published a simple ActiveModel serializer called Barley. It is very, very fast, easy to use, and it comes with caching and type-checking baked in. Here is a little introduction... #ruby #rails #barley

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.

Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.

@rubycentral.org leadership (rubycentral.org/about/) What are you gonna do about this? I think it's clear it shows Marty Haught knows little-to-nothing about open source, the Ruby community, proper communication and already broke trust beyond repair.

no, software is getting aggressively worse and affordances that have always been there have been silently disappearing overnight bc most of our software isn’t versioned any more
I have been feeling like I was turning into my parents as my experiences with new apps is “why is this not intuitive”

But maybe it’s not me!

More or less my experience with LLMs.

A powerful addition, not a revolution.

I really, really like #zed. I really hope to see it rise as a true, non-GAFAM-funded VSCode replacement for the dev community. It has everything it takes to do so.

But #emacs is the organic extension of my brain and of my fingertips.

Non-determinism in software development isn't a good thing. It might be a leap off the page, but it's leaping into art rather than an industry leap ahead. This is why so many commentators are confused and think themselves increasingly irrelevant, whereas they should just be patting LLMs on the head.
