Hey @konnorrogers.com - not sure if you’ve seen the ruby gem / js package I’ve been working on github.com/jpcamara/yrby I just added a rhino example to the demo app in it and it seems to be working well - would be great to have you try it out!

"Yrb-lite" was a meh name. My initial intent was just to get the most basic thing out, but it's decently robust as it is and i'm having fun expanding it further. Yrb and Y-Ruby aren't available, so I renamed it to "yrby" ("yer-bee"). github.com/jpcamara/yrby

Currently in ActiveJob, `wait` in `retry_on` accepts a proc, but it is only handed the execution count. I think access to the error can also be useful when calculating the next wait time. If you agree, give it a like! github.com/rails/rails/...
Allow retry_on wait procs to accept error as a second argument by jpcamara · Pull Request #56601 · rails/rails
Motivation / Background Currently, retry_on wait procs can only accept the execution count as an argument, which limits the ability to customize retry delays based on the error itself. Some excepti...

“It’s 10pm, do you know where your children are?” I added this to my “when good threads go bad” post Does anyone else remember these ads?! May have only been a USA thing
It’s late, and you get alerts that web requests are failing. Page loads hang endlessly. The server isn’t responding, requests are queueing up. What do you do?! "When good threads go bad" is a deep dive into stuck threads, how to deal with them, and what to avoid. jpcamara.com/2025/12/30/w...

In Sidekiq, you can add a special method to your job class called `sidekiq_retry_in`. This method allows you to dynamically adjust retry behavior. For instance, based on the exception raised you can return a different duration in seconds. /1
It's actually happening! Gonna super busy for the next 139 days. 😄
Blue Ridge Ruby@blueridgeruby.com · 8mo agoHey, random question, but…what are you doing April 30 and May 1? 👀
@sfruby.com Day 3 was the perfect community break! Started with a Lucasfilm museum walk (thank you, @inazarova.bsky.social), then joined the Golden Gate Bridge bike tour with @kanejamison.com, @jpcamara.com, @jeremysmith.co, @adarsh.ruby.social.ap.brid.gy and so many amazing Rubyists.
Had an incredible time at @sfruby.com Fantastic talks, amazing people, and great vibes across the board So much to dig into and unpack around tooling, AI, development patterns and our collective ownership in the future of Rails Community day was such a great finish
I'm not sure @ankane.bsky.social is human - maybe some kind of open source being from the future 😂 I said to a colleague - "we'll see, but it's ankane, so it's entirely possible it'll get done soon". Less than an hour later, it was updated 🤯
If you are anywhere near SF Ruby Conf and haven't bought a ticket yet, the time is now! This conf is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

I finally got around to reading "How does Sidekiq really work?" by Dan Svetlov dansvetlov.me/sidekiq-inte.... Dang, it did not disappoint. What an enjoyable and in-depth read! A few things that stuck out to me 1/11 🧵
How does Sidekiq really work?
An investigation into the internals of Sidekiq, one of the most popular Ruby background job processors.
