Letting Puma auto-set your worker count is the easiest way to go for 90% of usecases.
Currently, you can only do that with WEB_CONCURRENCY=auto, but we'll also make this possible in the next puma version by using `workers :auto` in your puma.rb.

If you are using Concurrent.physical_processor_count or Concurrent.processor_count to set your Puma/Unicorn worker counts, that is wrong.
Use Concurrent.available_processor_count. It takes into account cpu quotas in envs like k8s/docker.

The most valuable part of docs is the example. The worst part of an example is if it is wrong.
A doc test solves both these problems.
I want a default gem that all libraries can use. A standard for shipping examples with docs that are guaranteed to work

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.

Environment variable based configuration for CLI tools and frameworks is handy:
E.g. “BUNDLE_PATH=lol bundle install” is equivalent to “bundle install —path lol”
I’m looking for non-Ruby tools that have behavior like this. I’m curious how they support boolean values or special cases like infinity.
