Eloquent Ruby 2nd Edition is on the way with Pragmatic Programmers! @russolsen.bsky.social and I have started work on modernizing this Ruby classic for the next generation of Rubyists to enjoy.
Russ Olsen@russolsen.bsky.social · last yr.I'm thrilled to announce that @baweaver.bsky.social and I have just kicked off work on a second edition of Eloquent Ruby, to be published by our friends at @pragprog.com. The idea is to keep the basic structure of the book the same while updating it to Ruby as it is used today.
Raising VC as a technical founder, I’ve learned this: engineers build magic and forget it’s magic. Other engineers learning how to fundraise: don’t forget your investor audience is quite likely *extremely* non-technical. You need to demonstrate how much magic you’ve built. They won’t see it.

I was reminded of Noah Gibbs’ talk on ‘The Forty Year Programmer’ If you have, or are considering having, a career in software then I think this is worth 30 minutes of your time. Lots of wisdom here even for those of us similarly long in the tooth www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPkJ...

Just found out a good friend and mentor, Noah Gibbs, has passed away. Rest in peace friend, the Ruby community is poorer in your absence.
Noah embodied a lot of the things I love about the Ruby community. We were very lucky to know him and I will miss him. If you knew Noah please share your memories with his family via @nateberkopec.bsky.social
@nateberkopec.bsky.social · 2y agoNoah Gibbs (codefolio, YJIT team, Rebuilding Rails author) has passed away. His big dream in life was to help build the Ruby community up. He wanted to be like the folks who worked to create the railroads during the industrial revolution.
