90 days. New codebase. Shipping value while still figuring out where the service objects live. Andrea Fomera's field report on AI-assisted onboarding is the playbook you didn't know you needed. Get your early bird ticket still! rockymtnruby.dev/tickets
This year's @rmrubyconf.bsky.social is looking like a good one (that first talk excluded with my face next to it) rockymtnruby.dev/sessions/ But if you're able to, you should come to my talk too. I'll try to make it worth your time

Philly folks! Join us on Tuesday at @indyhall.org for our July meetup: Powerful Data: Making Rails Apps Faster with Aggregation by Neha Abraham 🚀
Hanami 3.0 wouldn’t be so full of goodness without the support of our sponsors. Rubyists deserve choice, and these fine companies are helping make it happen. Thank you to @mike.contribsys.com, @baweaver.bsky.social, @honeybadger.io, @fastruby.io, @appsignal.com, and @serpapi.com!
Hanami 3.0 is here and in full bloom 🌸 This is our most complete release yet: mailers, i18n, and Minitest now built in, your apps faster by default, and plenty more! hanakai.org/blog/2026/06...
Our friends over at @fastruby.io have posted a nice compatibility matrix for JRuby versions, covering Ruby and Rails compatibility. Check it out to learn how the versions line up or if you haven't already discovered how JRuby can help you run Ruby and Rails better! www.fastruby.io/blog/jruby/r...
JRuby & Rails Compatibility Table - FastRuby.io | Rails Upgrade Service

Maybe @github.com wouldn't have so many stability issues if their "report content app" actually worked? I was simply trying to report this spam comment: github.com/DatabaseClea... #spam
