I'm personally really excited to see what the caring and talented folks at Ruby Central will do next. Sounds like they have some great ideas for supporting meetups and regional conferences! ❤️

Have added the smiling faces of this year's speakers to the website. Along with some words. You're welcome. #ExpertMarketing

The work Vinicius Stock (and I'm sure many others) is doing with the Ruby LSP is phenomenal.

Better editor support for Ruby is something I've wanted for years. It's becoming a reality.

Github has started rolling out macOS 14 on arm64 hardware ...

For my precompiling gem maintainers, I've started updating my pipelines to test both x86_64 and arm64, see here for details:

Once more for the people in the back: Ruby's performance has improved dramatically, please update your mental models

I just published a blog post about Autotuner, a gem that analyzes your app's traffic and provide suggestions for tuning the garbage collector to improve response times, decrease memory usage, and help you save on server costs. railsatscale.com/2024-04-24-aut…

We just released v0.16.5 of the Ruby LSP with the first iteration of method support for go to definition!

We will continue iterating to handle more method types and improve accuracy as much as possible. Please let us know if you have feedback and happy coding!

YJIT was enabled on rubygems.org today and our #rails P95 average latency improved by an eye watering 20%!!! All from a single flip of a switch. Amazing work from everyone at Shopify Developers for making #ruby better!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Open source does not need donations. They are never enough, and ultimately they cannot make a difference. First and foremost, open source needs companies to be open in return: be open about the open source you are using, endorse the authors, get your logos on their repos or…

Worth saying clearly and loudly:

v2 of the sqlite-ruby gem provides everything you need for:
1. IMMEDIATE transactions
2. A non-GVL-blocking busy timeout
3. Fair retry mechanism
4. WAL mode

And we’ll be getting Rails using these features by default soon.

I'll be at Hack Day during #RailsConf .

If you're a junior just starting out, I'd really enjoy talking and hacking with you. I'm a super approachable, just come by!

Have questions about autoloading in your app? Bring your laptop!

We can also talk watches! ⌚︎

This post by 🍻Meet Stephen in 🇺🇸Detroit Tu 07.05—Fr 10.05 on sqlite performance in Rails apps is just terrific:

The change to retry timing he mentions is in the new 2.0 release of the sqlite3 gem!

#ruby #rails #sqlite

If you have ever:

- Raised a round of funding
- Dealt with the pain of open source license compliance as part of that process

Please DM me. We’re building a thing.

Rubyists! sqlite3 v2.0.0 has been unleashed!

github.com/sparklemotion/…

This is a major release which ships a native Linux Musl gem, has some shiny new features, some perf improvements, and cleans up a decade of deprecations.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Who wants to see a Tigers game with me!?

I'm getting a group together to go to the Tigers game on the Friday after RailsConf. If you want to hang out with some Rubyists and watch a ballgame, let me know!

Friday, May 10th, 6:40pm against the Astros

I'm really excited for RailsConf in Detroit next month. I'm helping organize the Hack Day, so let me know if you want to hack with me!

I'll be working on my open-source backlog which includes Rails HTML sanitizers, sqlite3, the precompiled gem toolchain, nokogiri, and more!

ICYMI: Working at Shopify has been a blast, but I've resigned, I don't have any immediate plans, and I'm looking forward to taking bit of a break.

Are you skeptical about the value of conferences for your career? I used to be, but that's changed for me in the past few years. I just got home from Sin City Ruby on Sunday and have been thinking about what it did for me. (BTW, thanks again Jason Swett!)
