@pfrazee.com I have the conference guestbook thing ongoing and I'm trying to bring it to Bsky but all the threads are only appearing in the "Replies" tab.
Only posts without a reply appear in "Posts"

Is this expected behaviour or am I missing something?

While working on the Ruby extension for @zed.dev, I needed to check gem deps often. Didn't find a `gem why` like `yarn why`, so I made one! Check it out: github.com/vitallium/ge...

Some time ago, I was asked to sign a copy of _why's book.

Got a notification from Mastodon (no longer there) that had a photo of it (ruby.social/@whysfoxes/1...).

@strzibny.name may I ask why you did chose `dealership/config/deploy.yml` instead of a --destination pattern like `config/deploy.dealership.yml`? 🤔

@rubycademy.bsky.social Would you be so kind and bridge your account into the Fediverse? 🥺

There are services like bridgy where you only have to follow bsky.app/profile/ap.b... and then your posts will be published automatically on Mastodon.

I think that I might have a neat idea for something at a #Ruby / #Rails #conference that people might talk about.

To do that I'd need someone to #sponsor this.
So please share this so that folks who might want have visibility at a Ruby/Rails #conf see this.

Enqueuing a lot a jobs really fast

Enqueuing via ActiveJob::Base#perform_later triggers callbacks and generates one round-trip for each job. Bulk enqueuing skips callbacks and enqueues all jobs in one step.

TIL: Rubygems.org offers a way to manage webhooks.

One way to do so, is through gem called "gems" (duuh).
