Additionally to collecting stamps in your physical @therubypassport.com, you can now also collect and see these stamps on @rubyevents.org!

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.

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...

I agree and even more so: what if the problem is us, the Ruby community, not contributing to our key nonprofit enough? We did not have ownership because we didn’t show up, and RC ended up being squeezed by a big donor because they did not have enough sponsors, stability and support.

*Taps sign* If you don't like it do something about it, and complaining on social media counts for nothing.

RE: Ruby Central funding, and a consolidation of power with companies like Shopify.

For years now the lead funder of Ruby and Rails initiatives has been Shopify, full stop. They've contributed heavily in both time and money, and through that have left a substantial impact on Ruby and Rails.

I waste way too much time binging random crap on Youtube. If I need downtime, I might just as well watch something useful, right?

I think I found a hack to help with that.

Now I just redirect to RubyEvents and watch some talk 😅

Behind every great Ruby event is a group of amazing sponsors. 💎

@rubyevents.org now tracks and showcases the companies helping make our conferences and meetups happen worldwide. 🌍

I just released Herb v0.4.3! 🎉

It's been another super productive week for Herb! This week I mostly focused on improving the formatter and fixing bugs in general!

It's starting to take shape and feels great to use! I really love where this is going! ❤️

I agree 💯. Would you have some recommendations ?
One way I see would be to have some faceted search directly from the talks index so that we could from that page filter by topics

I would like to improve the user experience on RubyEvents for watching content. What would be the killers features for you to make it your default viewing platform.

Please comment with what ever ideas you might have everything is always valuable

I think that an achievement for @rubyevents.org is that I see more and more people sharing links to a talk on RubyEvents rather than YouTube

Thanks to both of you for putting this together. I had the same feeling looking at the doc it didn’t click to me. Now I can’t wait to see this video !

I keep finding myself slinking away doing tons of Open Source, and then I never really gather it up anywhere.

Our biggest real life stress test came from AI bots that really like crawling the site for the video transcribe. but nothing real fancy. 10/20 req per sec.
All is served from a 2vCPU VPS at 4€/per month

They are indeed not a lot of writes in RubyEvents. The only real write happening comes from the Ahoy gem as we collect our own analytics. So every page visit generate a write in the ahoy_events table.

Introducing Herb — a fast, modern, and HTML-aware ERB parser, designed from the ground up for smarter developer tooling.
