Also please don't restrict bundler and ruby versions like `bundler < 3.0` and `required_ruby_version < 4.0` 🙏
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

For Rails folks out there: should Rails have a built-in way to override `Warning.warn` to use the Rails logger (if defined) instead of `$stderr`? I assume someone must be already doing that but perhaps there's a reason why we shouldn't.

The Herb Linter by @marcoroth.dev just works™
It caught both the fact that we're missing double quotes and that we've used `<% %>` instead of `<%= %>`.
And it automatically produced GitHub-compatible output 👌

If you're like me and have Byebug's `continue LINE#` as muscle memory, it can be hard to remember that you can't do that in the Debug gem, you need to call `until LINE#` instead.
I wrote a snippet to make debug's `continue` work like it does in byebug; add this to your `~/.rdbgrc.rb` file:

@vinistock.bsky.social & @flavorjon.es so I discovered why `ruby-lsp` wasn't providing indentation for me in Emacs. My repo uses Rubocop and I use `indent-region` to indent an entire file (which ends up calling `lsp-format-region`). This comment makes it a bit obvious why that wasn't working! 😅
