What if there was a man in the middle attack but the man in the middle was like, really chill. What if he was basically a chill guy who didn't mind if you sent a secret or whatever

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

As recently as last week, I was writing about the brilliance and impact of the art of Drew Struzan. Today, we learn he's passed. I'm gutted. His artistic genius and inspirational images will truly be appreciated forever. May we continue to treasure his work & the man who made it. Thank you, Drew.
Ruby Central dropped the ball here on securing the root account and effectively lost control of it for 11 days - however, that's nothing compared to changing the root password. If an ex-employee did that to me I'd be calling the police.

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted. byroot.github.io/opensource/r...
Dear Rubyists: Shopify Isn’t Your Enemy
I’ve been meaning to write a post about my perspective on Open Source and corporate entities. I already got the rough outline of it; however, I’m suffering from writer’s block, but more importantly, t...

The more I think about this, the more I wonder if the best way forward is to transfer rubygems/bundler ownership to the Ruby org. Then keep responsibility of rubygems.org. After all, rubygems is the only default gem that isn't owned by ruby itself: github.com/ruby/ruby/bl...

Bundler belongs to the Ruby community
I’ve spent 15 years of my life working on Bundler. When I introduce myself, people say “oh, the Bundler guy?”, and I am forced to agree. I didn’t come up with the original idea for Bundler (that was Y...

Spammers, scammers, phishers, card testing, malicious and mis-coded bots, AI… if you think the web is as idyllic as 20 years ago, it's because many people have worked hard to hide to torrent of threats from you.
Ahead of tomorrow's "Rails at Scale" event, I wrote up a perspective on the most pressing scaling challenges at Podia: jamie.ideasasylum.com/2025/09/02/p... (ok—I meant to send this revised version to @amandabrooke.bsky.social but it was still sitting in my drafts 🤦♂️ so I published it anyway)
Podia at scale
A description of some of the scaling challenges at Podia. It’s mostly about managing complexity rather than the traditional technical challenges you’d normally associate with Rails.

Anyone in the Rails community played with using Postgres row level security policies for multi tenancy without needing to set a tenant id?
