I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Ruby Butler: It’s Time to Rethink RubyGems and Bundler

I genuinely can't believe people are boosting the "ruby core has taken ownership of bundler" thing like it's supposed to smooth everything over. all it does it reinforce the fact the bundler team had their project stolen with ruby central acting as a fence

As of right now:
1. Ruby Central is *still* in possession of the GitHub organisation and gems that it stole.
2. It hasn’t published any kind of justification for this.
3. It has threatened an ex employee for responsibly disclosing that it left him with root access to live production systems.

Every step of the way, we have engaged in good faith.
Every step of the way, they decided to treat us as disposable and shit on our reputations.
Ruby Central needs to take a real good look in the mirror, stop digging themselves into a deeper hole, and make some very significant and public changes.
