This is genuinely incredible! Reactivity like React for humans, and simple, clean html for agents and low-bandwidth users.
Today is a big day for Herb! It's built into Rails 8.2 by default for all HTML+ERB views. My talk at #RailsWorld in Austin today answered three questions: What is Herb? What ships in Rails 8.2? And what does this enable? Herb v0.11 and ReActionView v0.6 released alongside it.
There’s always something happening at WNB.rb! All month long, you can connect with an amazing community, learn together, sharpen your skills, and support your career. Come hang out! #WNB #WNBrb #Ruby #RubyOnRails #Rails #WomenInTech #NonbinaryInTech #TechCommunity #CareerDevelopment
AI Shuffle on Spotify (WHICH I NEVER TURNED ON) played Head-Shoulders-Knees-and-Toes in my lullaby playlist. 😠 The baby is happy, but I am not. 😒
Bonjour Montréal 👋 We're coming to town this October 17! Who should speak at the conference? We’re looking for new voices. Maybe someone who dives into a deep part of a domain that Ruby helped solve, someone who has a story to tell that’ll make us think about our AI age, ...
This is 75% off, so it's literally $4!
Today is the 4 year anniversary of One Dreamer! store.steampowered.com/app/1156380/... This is a beautiful, atmospheric, story-driven programming game, and I'm honored to voice Chael, Frank's programming mentor. I loved this game from the demo, and I recommend playing it!

I try to make this a little better every month and automate it a bit more so I can spend more time on little details and customizations. I'm particularly proud of this edition. ♥️
It's time for the August Newsletter! 📅 * Check out guides.rubyevents.org - an initiative from our newest team member - @hansschnedlitz.com ! * XO Ruby's CFPs are the last of the 2026 conference season * Balkan Ruby and RubyConf videos are released! www.rubyevents.org/announcement...
I saw this at Blue Ridge Ruby and it had me in stitches from laughter, and then on the verge of tears. I can't wait to see it again at Rocky Mountain Ruby. ♥️
Welcome to Hours Unlimited. Meet powerfuLLMachine. (Plot twist: it's all actually about humans.) Kevin Murphy's creative reframing of agentic practices will change how you think about LLMs (and your team!) 🧑💻 rockymtnruby.dev/tickets
YES!! FINALLY!! I've been using the gh-image extension, but fetching the token is fiddly in containerized environments. Native support for attaching images is so exciting!

I spent a lot of time and effort building custom generators for RubyEvents event data only to have AI ignore them in favor of MCP tools and direct editing. I started to think about turning my generators into MCP tools. Carefully wrapping each one and invoking it.
I saw that happen earlier this year at RubyConf. Joining me today on The Ruby on Rails Podcast are guests Rachael Wright-Munn and Andy Andrea to talk about how it all came together. Listen here: www.therubyonrailspodcast.com/548
Going to Rails World this year? There is a great block of presentations you just have to see! Track 2, Sept 23rd. Starts with @jeremysmith.co @1pm, then @chael.codes @1:45, wraps with mine @2:45 - This year my topic is Hifumi - Rails App Generator. See ya in Austin! rubyonrails.org/world/2026/s...

Feeling a sense of validation as event after event (@xoruby.com) people pull me aside a tell me they haven’t been able to go to a conference in years for one reason or another. So many parents, caretakers, and otherwise location locked have been left behind.
YES!! I basically live on the Mutuals and OnlyPosts feed and now it's in the app itself. 🥰
v1.130 is live! Want to follow someone for their posts but not their reposts? Now you can — turn on "Hide reposts in feeds" for any account you follow.
I'm trying this out today. Maybe it'll help train the robots to write more ruby.
Going back to agents and making them write scripts in Ruby (which is just an excuse for me to share more Ruby code) you can just write this into a system prompt:
The Rails security team published attack details and -- more importantly -- tools and agent skills to run a forensic investigation to help you determine if you were exploited. Be careful out there. discuss.rubyonrails.org/t/cve-2026-6...
[CVE-2026-66066] Attack details, and tools to perform a forensic investigation
Hello there, I’m writing as a member of the Rails security team about CVE-2026-66066. As mentioned in the advisory, GHSA-xr9x-r78c-5hrm, we held back details about the attack vector to allow applicat...

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! ✨
