Today is Raffa's final day after nearly sixteen years. He's been in heart failure for a few weeks, and reached the point where we'd be keeping him around for us and not for him. Having, loving & losing a dog feels both ridiculous & deeply profound. Lots of tears at my place today.
Got all travel booked for @brightonruby.com. First time going on the Eurostar from Brussels, I'm really excited about this! 🚄🌊 And even though organising last year's dinner on the spot with 17 people and a fan 🪭 was fun (😆), this year I've made a reservation for 10 people at Dishoom's Permit Room 😋
It's only five weeks away! Are you going to be there? I'm talking, of course, about Brighton Ruby. I'm really excited to hang out with Rubyists near the ocean. Also, pubs. brightonruby.com
Brighton Ruby Conference

Made a new blurg post about AI + OSS security. I was going to just complain on here, but I figured a short blog post would be better for my complaining 😂 tenderlovemaking.com/2026/05/06/r...
Rails Security, AI, and IBB
For quite a few years the Rails project has been working with the Internet Bug Bounty (IBB). The IBB is an organization that awarded cash to security researchers that reported issues to OSS projects p...

We made a game for Rails devs based on the conference! You can play your way through real places in Albuquerque, interacting with real people from the community. Choose your gem and face your destiny! game.blastoffrails.com
Blastoff Rails: The Game
A retro RPG for Rails devs. Squash bugs, earn badges, board the rocket.

I wrote some more as a way to fight jet lag, hopefully it's still readable 😅: byroot.github.io/ruby/bundler...
The Missing Bundler Features
Over the last few months, there has been a lot of talk about making Bundler faster, both by improving it directly, or by reimplementing it in another language, and while it may surprise some, that did...

Brighton Ruby Conference

Excited to be speaking at @brightonruby.com this June! Looks like quite a lineup for Ruby/Rails builders. I'll also be hosting a workshop the day before on AI adoption with your team. Ruby friends — who's going?
The inflection trilogy ends. (Much less cool than it sounds, but still useful) andycroll.com/ruby/teach-...
Teach Rails Irregular Plurals with Inflections
Use inflect.irregular to teach Rails non-standard plurals like criterion/criteria.

Booked to speak at 2 conferences this year. Both in Europe! Topic: AI (obviously). Wish me luck writing talks that aren't out-dated by the time I'm on stage 3 and 6 months from now 😬
