All the world is a narrow bridge, and the important thing is to not be afraid. I used to keep the gems secure.

@sfgiants.com want to explain how you sell out of the item you advertised for Jewish heritage night before the end of the first inning and the manager can’t be bothered to take down the ad, much less apologize for making me walk all the way across the park for nothing?

@rideact.bsky.social what happened to the 3:29PM NL from Lake park & lakeshore to SF? It never showed up and I can’t find any evidence of a canceled run — maps told us to take that bus and it’s hard to now be a half hour late!

@rideact.bsky.social this morning while waiting for the NL to SF at Lakeshore and Lake Park I followed the instructions posted and went to the temp stop at Wesley. Stood for 45 minutes and two NLs failed to stop despite me flagging & calling in. What’s going on?

I try not to dwell on the fact that this is what happened. It’s still sickening to me what Ruby central did, that they have no conscience for the harm they’ve caused. I want to move forward, and ruby centrals view of the world is clearly obdurate and stuck in a miserable past.

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

The events of the past week have still been really hard for me to process. The only way I can describe it is a nasty breakup of a decade-long relationship. I know people in the community are (rightfully) upset. I just ask that you remember individuals were directly hurt too.

This is, at best, an extreme mischaracterization of what’s happened over the past week. As a member of the rubygems team for over a decade, Ruby Central’s actions happened without discussion with the maintainers team. Afterwords, the entire team spoke out against what had happened.

Today is my last day working full-time on RubyGems. While being able to focus on securing the Ruby packaging ecosystem has been a dream job, the time has come for me to move on from Ruby Central. I’ll still be maintaining RubyGems/Bundler/RubyGems.org, just not as my day job.

If you’re at the conference in Amsterdam and have time to post about the talks but not about the fact the man on stage giving the keynote has been using his platform to promote fascist ideals…. we notice that

If you saw a podcast named “The $x Podcast” where $x=open source project, would you expect the podcast to feature maintainers of $x?

For a tech conference in the US in 2025, what percentage of speakers from the CfP would you expect to be women? At what point would you be uncomfortable with that number being too low? Is 6/49 CfP speakers being women a red flag to you?

If you say you're looking for feedback, and then ignore anything that didn't come in your one chosen forum... do you want feedback or positive PR? I remember being taught the importance of meeting your customers where they are...
