😔😔😔

I'm very honored to have received this year's RubyPrize from Matz's hands in Matsue last Thursday, recognizing my work on Ruby and its development tools.

I can still remember how nervous I was asking Matz for a picture back in 2016 😂 Time really flies

However you see the recent announcement — please remember that there was an extremely passionate team of people who gave years of their lives to better the ruby community. This past month has been incredibly difficult and deeply hurtful.

Ruby community: Look, we can be angry about what's happening, we can raise our complaints, but under no circumstances should anyone _ever_ harass someone's families, coworkers, or friends.

That is completely unacceptable, and wholly against the ethos of the language. We must do better.

It's so painful to spend every waking second of the past few weeks thinking and working on ways to correct a bad decision, only to just be picked up and thrown away.

I'm so freaking tired 😫

I’m hurt, numb, crying, in pain, regretful of not doing more for my friends. The last few days have been a nightmare being played out in real time. No matter the original reason behind it, no one did anything that deserved how we were all treated. 😔

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

Could easily have Summers Ending Soon playing in background all day 🎶

I'm onboarding the very first Organization on rubygems.org in a few hours 🚀

Spent the week down in the Tasmania high country & Hobart
