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!

I have just a few extra-small t-shirts (fitted and unfitted styles) at #RailsConf. My kids love these—they make a great conference souvenir. Come by the @honeybadger.io booth and grab them!

I brought five of our original #RailsConf Portland 2013 stickers with me. These may be the last five in existence. Lmk if you are feeling lucky. :)

Y’all:

If you’re still on X, this would be a great “tweet” to screenshot and post over there, assuming @nmeans.dev is OK with that?

Don’t directly mention “Bluesky” by name because it triggers deranking by X’s algorithm.

I’d post it too but I already deleted my account there. 1/3

#RubyConf attendees: now is your last chance to grab a shirt. I currently have sizes from XS-XL, but they’re going fast.

Find us at the Honeybadger lounge near the coffee station in the exhibit hall downstairs.

This is the last drop!

The shirts have a cream-colored base with a vibrant turquoise blue accent, and showcase an animated honey badger character rendered in black and grey with distinctive pink tongue details. The design includes small orange bugs or insects that appear to be interacting with the badger character. Several stickers can be seen scattered in the background on the black table surface.

There are a few t-shirts left from today’s drop at the Honeybadger Lounge in the #RubyConf exhibit hall on the lower level. Get them while they last.

I’ll be doing a second drop of shirts tomorrow, so stay tuned. :)

#RubyConf2024
A trade show or conference booth setup featuring Honeybadger's brand display, consisting of two main elements: a vertical banner stand and a table with a black tablecloth. The banner stand showcases three key features - "Exception Monitoring," "Uptime Monitoring," and "Logging & Observability" - along with descriptive text and the company's website URL, all accompanied by an illustrated mascot of an armored, aggressive-looking honey badger. The table is draped with a black cloth bearing the Honeybadger logo and lightning bolt emblem in white and orange, with what appears to be rolled-up t-shirts or merchandise arranged on top. A Honeybadger company booth at what appears to be a tech conference or trade show, showing two team members engaged in casual conversation. The setup includes the same vertical banner detailing their services (Exception Monitoring, Uptime Monitoring, and Logging & Observability), and a table with black branded tablecloth. The two people are wearing matching black t-shirts with company designs and are seated casually - one on a bright orange cube-shaped ottoman and the other on a standard chair, with a small round table between them. A close-up shot of rolled-up t-shirts displayed on a black tablecloth, featuring Honeybadger's mascot design. The shirts have a cream-colored base with a vibrant turquoise blue accent, and showcase an animated honey badger character rendered in black and grey with distinctive pink tongue details. The design includes small orange bugs or insects that appear to be interacting with the badger character. Several stickers can be seen scattered in the background on the black table surface.

Did I just buy the first copy of Camping? Can’t wait to load this up and get coding.

(Is Karl here yet? Couldn’t find him to tag him.)

#RubyConf #RubyConf2024 #RubyCamping
A photo of a person’s hand holding a clear plastic case with a blue background featuring the word "CAMPING" in stylized text at the top (partially visible in green) and a white triangular logo design below it. The back of the same case, containing software or documentation for "CAMPING," which is described as a Ruby framework. There's a label indicating it's "Ruby's pocket-full-of-gems micro framework" and includes licensing information stating it's "EST 2006, MIT License, Made with Ruby, CSS, HTML, some silliness, and a lot of luck" with the website "rubycamping.org" mentioned. The package includes what looks like cards or documentation materials inside the clear case, and there's a barcode with "CAPSULE.GRAPHICS" branding.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

First day of RubyConf is kicking off. That’s a lot of Rubyists!

#RubyConf2024 #RubyConf
A large conference or presentation room filled with rows of attendees watching a stage presentation. The room features an elegant coffered ceiling with recessed lighting and architectural details. At the front, there are two large projection screens displaying what appears to be gaming or streaming content with colorful character portraits. The stage is elevated and has a black curtain backdrop with red accent lighting. The audience, sitting in theater-style seating, appears to be predominantly young adults, and the room is at full capacity. Professional lighting and camera equipment can be seen around the edges of the space, suggesting this is a major event or convention.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Getting some good feedback on the new Honeybadger t-shirt/sticker design, lol

(Sam is a friend who owns a local coffee shop and is also a skateboarder)
a text message thread that reads: Simeon: Sam says if you ever bring Jimbo in, it’s free coffee for everyone… lol He’s still talking about it. You hit every mark he’s ever set up in his life Josh: hahaha I love that so much. I knew that the people who “get it” would REALLY get it. 😍 Simeon: His mind is still currently an explosion. You might as well have spoken to Jesus directly and had him draw something for you

This is so true, support is sales. I recently started working our stellar customer support into our marketing materials, too.
A marketing page section highlighting Honeybadger's developer support. The headline 'You've never experienced support like this' appears at top, with 'support' in coral. Below is an email thread between two developers discussing Vector service configuration, showing detailed technical help and the customer's grateful response. A marketing page section for Honeybadger's pricing. The header reads 'Simple, predicatable pricing' in large black text with 'pricing' in coral. Below is explanatory text about their forgiving pricing policy and a testimonial from Mike Perham. To the right is a chat conversation showing customer support helping a user named Sweta with load testing limits.
