Joking aside, if I were to ever leave Ruby / Rails for another language and framework, I would go for Elixir / Phoenix.

I agree, but it's occasionally good to venture out and see what else exists though.

Onur Ozer @onurozer.me · 15h

Yeah, I don't think any other language would spark as much joy either.

I never thought it would come to this, but all this Ruby drama is making me explore *cough* JavaScript *cough* other languages.

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.

I can swear that the number of people who use “you’re absolutely right” casually in speech has increased since Claude.

My basic solid queue setup on Rails 8 is using 450MB+ memory. Is that normal?

supervisor: 74MB
dispatcher: 83MB
worker: 159MB
scheduler: 141MB

Every time I think about how bad things are, I imagine how much worse they would be if we lived through the Peloponnesian wars, and I feel better.

I'm trying to change my information diet. Less social media, more long-form reading. I even installed an RSS reader like it's 2015 🎉

Not to be that guy, but the original novels are so much better than the show. There are a lot of layers and depth to the story that are kind of lost on TV.

New: the world of Ruby has gone completely off the rails over the past few weeks. Developers suddenly locked out, corporate pressure, and claims of a "hostile takeover" of one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure for the internet we all rely on everyday

Eloquently put, exactly my sentiment as well. Also thankful for thousands of contributors over two decades that make Rails what it is today.

Olly Headey @olly.world · 15d

Thought about this latest Ruby drama a lot. I ❤️ Rails and I’m thankful for it, so by association to DHH even if his political blog posts wind me up. Frankly, what he chooses to write is his business and I don’t think it affects Rails. Don’t read it if it gets you worked up. Life’s too short, srsly.

After listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know about the RubyGems takeover.

Shopify, pulling strings at Ruby Central, forces Bundler and RubyGems takeover

Ruby Central recently took over a collection of open source projects from their maintainers without their consent.

This is becoming an increasingly attractive thought for me as well.

You have to be able to ignore the parts of a person's identity and focus on the quality their work, if you want to collaborate or get things done. Especially those you disagree with. What constitutes a red-line depends on the individual and the context.
