Upgrade Rails immediately, kids, this is a big one. github.com/rails/rails/...

This was such a great talk! All about using DragonRuby and Rails to build the game Authentication Hell! Which you should play (on desktop). authenticationhell.com

Authentication Hell

The security course every new hire has to clear before their accounts go live. Get up to speed on how we protect logins here — passkeys, two-factor codes, passwords, and the rest — then press play and work through it at your own pace.

This week I spoke at @RubyConf for the first time. This conference has been a big part of my life the last 10 years so it was really cool to take the stage for the first time and share what I’ve been working on.

Hello #rubyconf (and everybody else) — I've got a promo code for you! 40% off all Ruby or Rails titles at PragProg.com with the code "RUBYCONF2026". Including, say, Programming Ruby 4 (pragprog.com/titles/ruby6/pro...)

We love ruby events and we want to support their growth. These guides are a fantastic resource for new organizers and those looking for new ideas. Thank you to all the organizers who contributed, and @hansschnedlitz.com for putting these guides together. Welcome to the team, Hans!

RubyEvents Guides is now live. Over the last few months, I talked to Rubyists who want to help the community keep going. Some want to restart a local meetup. Some are organizing their first small conference. Some already run events and want to make the next one better.

Have you tried making a GitHub view yet? @marcoroth.dev showed me this: docs.github.com/en/issues/pl... It's for issues, but I made a custom view for reviewing RubyEvents PRs! github.com/rubyevents/r... It shows me all the open PRs made in the last 4 weeks that weren't authored by a maintainer! 😍

I am so incredibly excited to see this! Organizing an event is incredibly difficult work, and this will make it easier for new organizers to get started! ✨

Last year, we decided to bet on the community and host our first conference in SF. We put it together in six months, and the result was even better than we could've imagined. This year, we're doing it again and are beyond excited. Get early access to tickets in the link below.

We are doing this!!!

Save the date, mark your calendars, and decline the invite to the All Hands meeting! The second edition of SF Ruby Conference is happening Nov 10-12. Our first confirmed keynote speaker is @realgarrytan.bsky.social, president and CEO of Y Combinator and longtime Rails builder.

Programming can feel weirdly lonely sometimes. Especially when you’re remote, deep in a strange bug, quietly wondering if everyone else has this more figured out than you do. One thing Ruby community spaces do well: remind us that other people are figuring it out too. New Podcast episode out now

A New Host Has Appeared!

Rachael Wright-Munn returns as a guest host to introduce the new regular host of the podcast: David Hill

If you haven't upgraded yet, Ruby 4.0's garbage collection is generally much faster than 3.4. This patch release fixes the one area there had previously been a notable regression (allocating/freeing Classes).
