"If you are trans, a migrant, black, overweight, childless, have ADHD, then in DHH’s view you are somehow inferior. Instead of raising up and supporting the marginalised and vulnerable, DHH choses to exclude and punch down. This is not something the Ruby community can continue to simply ignore." 🎯

The Ruby community has a DHH problem

The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

I was just going to say, git add -p totally changed my workflow when I learned it. I should use the stash one more often!

@joshuawood.honeybadger.io and I finally built the @ash-hq.org integration for @honeybadger.io, took 10mins with Claude Code to plan and build and bit more for testing the first version. Who ever said Ash extensions were hard to build?

I'm at @elixirconf.bsky.social today and tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up with old Elixir friends and making some new ones—and chatting about the latest in Elixir observability and monitoring, of course.

Say hello if you see me!

My favorite part from @bencurtis.com's #RailsConf talk was when he explained CGI environment variables and how they still show up in our systems today (including in Honeybadger!).

Fun memories from the days of early web dev.
