we're working on more posts for the Spinel blog in the spirit of open source, if you'd like to critique one I've written before it goes out, you can do so here github.com/spinel-coop/...

I've been loving working at @spinel.coop for the past year. It's exactly what I've been looking for, for a long time: people who are obsessive about Open Source, who also want to be roaming Staff Engineers that help multiple companies. You can meet us here spinel.coop/blog/meet-sp...

a nice rv.dev win: I just dug up an old app that was on ruby 3.4.5, a ruby version I'd deleted. `rv ci` installed ruby and all gems in < 10 seconds.

`sentiero` browser session tracking/recording Ruby gem is finally up. Took a while; added (basic) error tracking & analytics features too Its a Rack app so can be used standalone, or mount as Rails engine. It tries hard to have privacy respecting defaults & opt-outs. github.com/stevegeek/se...

GitHub - stevegeek/sentiero: Browser session recording for Ruby. Like Hotjar etc. Works with any Rack framework. Privacy-first defaults. Rails integration by sentiero-rails.

ruby oldheads scoff at rv being in rust, but it's because it can enable a new era of rubyists to join us by vastly lowering the barrier to entry. precompiled downloads with dependencies are table stakes in 2026

Hey #Ruby friends: Do I know someone who could introduce me to someone working at Scalingo, the PaaS in Europe?

My @blueridgeruby.com talk got stealth-posted! I’m very proud of this one; it’s a dense one, but covers a bunch of ground & still manages to find a good (if frenetic) cadence. Plus, it’s got an all-timer bit for me. youtu.be/CxQgGgngWCA

@st0012.dev do you think there's a way we could add a command so debug can step into a block? I just want to see what's on line 2 here, I don't want to see the internals of transaction before it hits its `yield`. 1 transaction do 2 yield 3 end

It's Balkan Ruby week, and everything is coming together. We are waiting for you amongst the gemstones at the Museum of Earth and Man in Sofia on the 15-16 May. We'll do a few pre- and post-event activities: balkanruby.com/activities. Tickets are still available. See you in Sofia! 🙌

RailsConf 2024 - Riffing on Rails: sketch your way to better designed code by Kasper Timm Hansen

YouTube video by Ruby Central

Testing in Rails usually forces a tradeoff. Factories are flexible but slow. Fixtures are fast but messy. Kasper Timm Hansen built something that tries to fix both. Oaken is a different way of thinking about test data entirely.

Huge news for our corner of the Ruby world, and the culmination of a multi-year effort to align our people, our code, and our presence on the web. Go check out the new site, it’s stunning! Deepest of thanks to @aaronmoodie.com and @makenosound.bsky.social for co-creating these wonderful visuals. 🙇
