Ok #ruby nerds, we have MINASWAN for - Matz Is Nice So We Are Nice.

But we need one for the terrible DHH. The Ruby community needs to fork Rails already. Keeping DHH around does a disservice to MINASWAN and all the good will of the Ruby Community.

DIADASWF - David Is A Dumbass And So We Fork

Whats your suggestion?

If you don't understand why DHH is the same as raw sewage there are many examples, but today's is: https://world.hey.com/dhh/gender-and-sexuality-alliances-in-primary-school-at-cis-97f66c06

In "holy-crap-that-was-too-difficult", reworked the Jekyll build script to work using the `ruby:alpine` container. I just want the site to build without having to go through the hoops of installing `ruby` and getting `bundle` to do what I want it to. A nice Docker Compose file gets it done nice and quickly without fuss. Also I don't have random gems installed around my system.

I just released the first, experimental, version of Haparanda, a new pure-#ruby #handlebars parser. This gem's main goals are implementation of the full handlebars feature set and, most importantly, fast parsing. It uses Ruby's rexical lexer and racc parser with lightly edited upstream handlebars lexer and parser definitions

ZJIT has been merged into Ruby

https://railsatscale.com/2025-05-14-merge-zjit/

"ZJIT is a new just-in-time (JIT) Ruby compiler built into the reference Ruby implementation, YARV, by the same compiler group that brought you YJIT."

Could finally find some time for #eventsourcing and #ruby today. Made good progress with some APIs that make it easier to stitch data projections into workflows (A.K.A TODO List pattern)

Only programmers and The binding of Isaac players will understand

Welp, #Ruby just can't quit #Rails. Or the corporate sponsorship dollars which are totally "ick" you might say.

The problem with niche markets—like Ruby—is if you don't stand on moral principles and core values, uh, what is the actual point? I can just pivot to TypeScript and be in the programming mainstream, messy and regularly unethical as it is.

Ruby as a community has lost all appeal. MINASWAN is nostalgia, not present reality. You can have your DHH and your AI!

I'll have no part of it.

Too bad that 'tiny ruby #{conf}' ➙ https://helsinkiruby.fi/tinyruby/sponsorships/ is on November 21, 2025. That's too close to the other conference (hint: #AgileTD) I'll attend. — I hope for more time between them next year. I'd love to return to #Helsinki again. #Ruby #Testing #ConferenceClash

Educational Bootcamp!
It’s a unique chance for junior Rubyists to gain knowledge and hands-on experience in Ruby and Rails — absolutely free.

I'm still angry and trying to recall the things I love about #Ruby and #RubyOnRails. 20 years ago, when I was pondering Ruby vs. Python, Rails vs. Django, I actually read _why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. (1/?)

Ruby Talks: DHH will be joining the FINAL RailsConf for a special fireside chat

Also, important PSA if you're working with #Rails, (and this may actually be a #Ruby thing, or maybe a #PostgreSQL thing, or combination):

I was trying to run a seeds.rb file to load data into my test env db. That script references an external (local) file with a bunch of items, each line being correctly formed data for an ltree path.

I kept getting errors on line one. I tried a bunch of things, and none worked.

Turns out my text file had a UTF-8 BOM, and script no likey.

3+h of madness.

I'm pleased to see that @kou made a proof-of-concept rubygems plugin to support specifying external dependencies in the gemspec and have them installed from the package manager, instead of Fat Gems where every C extension vendors a copy of the C library they bind against.

@kou, @flavorjones, and myself discussed how this might work and all of the edge-cases, but never got around to submitting an RFC.
