Had a very enlightening customer interview today, and I've been wondering why I haven't done this earlier. It's so much easier to give advice to others than to follow it yourself.

Eloquently put, exactly my sentiment as well. Also thankful for thousands of contributors over two decades that make Rails what it is today.
Thought about this latest Ruby drama a lot. I ❤️ Rails and I’m thankful for it, so by association to DHH even if his political blog posts wind me up. Frankly, what he chooses to write is his business and I don’t think it affects Rails. Don’t read it if it gets you worked up. Life’s too short, srsly.

After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

I've always tried to separate the art from the artist, but it has become increasingly difficult in recent years.
Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

Super excited to be at @friendlyrb.com, quite possibly one of the best Ruby conferences ever. And to finally meet in person all the awesome Ruby people like @rosa.codes, @michaelkoper.com and @lucianghinda.com and many more that I feel like I've known for years.
