Wow! Someone else blogged about how the Ruby #community isn't #nice and doesn't abide by #MINASWAN. This makes me feel very validated for all my recent 2025 & 2026 posts about #Ruby / #Rails #subreddit folks and companies like Shopify NOT being nice: po-ru.com/2026/07/29/i... #programming #dev

The newest #Ruby #Meme "One Bad Monkey Spoils The Bunch" is absolute 🔥!!! I laughed my @** off for several minutes after I saw the finished version! And, I keep laughing every time I see it again. LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Take a look at it before reading further posts in this post series. #memes #rails

While going through the recurrent Bystander Intervention training for my job, I stumbled upon "Persistent unwanted personal questions" as a form of verbal abuse. I have to confess I recently experienced that at a #Ruby #tech event. Continue reading: andymaleh.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-... #rails

Devs who obsess over AI are forgetting the DDD concept of bounded contexts and how it's important to divide and conquer Business Domain complexity by splitting it across small teams to minimize cognitive load. #ai #softwareengineering #ruby #rails #rubyonrails #programming #webdevelopment

One very positive trend I'm noticing in the #Ruby #community as a cause of #AI is that a number of #devs are exiting the Ruby community to generate code in Rust, TypeScript, and other "statically typed #programming languages deemed better for AI generation". #softwareengineering

At RubyConf Austria 2026, Dave Thomas called some people in the Ruby community "idiots". That makes it 100% OK for everyone to use that term too. Like in describing fake Rubyists who use React.js. #ruby #idiots #rails #rubyonrails #softwareengineering #webdevelopment #programming

#ai #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #artificialintelligence #software #dev #aislop #slop #ruby #rails #rubyonrails #artificial_intelligence #artificialintelligence

Some of the most hilaious tech posts I stumble upon play "Oracle/Shaman" by making big declarations like "We’re all heading toward a version of the future where all code will be generated...". LOL. No, we aren't! You are! Speak for yourself!

Master Software Engineers only avoid AI because it's not the most effective way to produce long-term maintainable software, to avoid seceding competitive advantage to devs who don't get this. #ai #competition #softwareengineering #softwaredevelopment #ruby #rails #rubyonrails

Rehearsing with my 2nd band.

My RubyConf Austria 2026 talk has been published on YouTube! What if your frontend was just... Ruby? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTuk... #ruby #rails #rubyonrails #webdevelopment #frontenddevelopment #softwareengineering #programming #softwaredevelopment #frontend #dev

I noticed that devs who like generating code w/ AI are the same ones that don't like fluid no-rules style of Ruby Software Development (aka The Ruby Way). They use Dry-RB/Operation libs to make everything bland following one structure, enforcing with Rubocop. The worst kind of Software Developers!!!

#RubyConf2026 discriminatory/mean organizers and all the benefactors who benefit from them treating people differently depending on whether they're in the in-group or out-group have turned the #Ruby #community from great to garbage. andymaleh.blogspot.com/2025/11/how-... #discrimination #rubyconf

Anyone not putting “no AI” as an option on the table isn’t a real Software Engineer. #ai #programming #ruby #rails #SoftwareDevelopment #softwareengineering

About to rehearse with my band. Our show 2 weeks ago filled the bar completely and got us great applause.

Go AL! Let’s Go Red Sox!!! Our American League won the 2026 MLB All Star Game 4-0! A great shutout!!!

Someone commented (attached screenshot) on my dev.to post of this writeup: dev.to/andyobtiva/r... Very insightful comment! I responded to it to answer the commenter's question.

Expectation regarding how #Ruby innovation works: 1- I stumble upon a problem at my job in our Ruby application 2- I build a solution for it in an open-source project (e.g. the ability to write the Frontend with a Ruby Frontend Framework instead of using an inferior JS technology like React)

#RubyConf2026 is no different from how the MLB used to mistreat Afro Americans and relegate them to the Negro league. Telling someone who can perform at the Major League level they are unaccepted as a player, but could attend if they want is #discrimination: andymaleh.blogspot.com/2026/07/ruby...

A reminder that the #Monreal.rb #Ruby #Meetup #talk "Building a Fediverse Presence with Jekyll, Ruby and WebFinger by Tom Brown" is happening this week on Wednesday, July 15 6:30PM at Anticafe Place Des Arts (Montreal, Quebec, Canada): www.meetup.com/montrealrb/e... #montreal #web #programming

Building a Fediverse Presence with Jekyll, Ruby and WebFinger by Tom Brown, Wed, Jul 15, 2026, 6:30 PM | Meetup

**This event is planned without a speaker. You can volunteer to present this topic. If no volunteers come forward before the event date, it will be presented by the Montrea

#AI is a hotbed of seceding #CompetitiveAdvantage to master #SoftwareEngineers who don't need AI to build great Software. That's because the use of AI is making devs forget the human element of understanding customer needs and requirements (devs just ask AI what to build). #artificialintelligence

Setting up early for a doubleheader show in downtown Montreal. I’ll drum with 2 bands. MusiArt then the Big Bang Band. #concert #music

Packwerk is an ugly kind of micromanagement that goes against The Ruby Way by limiting Software Engineers instead of keeping them free and responsible. #ruby #rails #rubyonrails #softwareengineering #packwerk #yagni #programming #softwaredevelopment #webdevelopment
