Congrats Roy. Enjoy the break. Glad to hear youβre returning as CSO (Chief Stroopwafel Officer) π
Back home from a fantastic @sfruby.com conference and 10 days in San Francisco. A packed schedule of talks, hack day at #angellist and many great conversations. The #ruby community really still is something special. Thanks @inazarova.bsky.social and team who put in so much in to make this happen.
Thanks Kerrick! Will take a look at this and update. Cheers
Yeh love it!
In a fast moving world of AI, self driving taxis and robots, I love that my favourite cafe in San Francisco hasnβt changed since I was a regular when I lived here 20 years ago. Literally same menu, same pastries, same guy behind the counter. Great to be back! #sanfrancisco #caffetrieste
Heading to San Francisco today for @sfruby. Looking forward to seeing #rubyfriends and catching up with old friends in the place that was home for 10 years! #ruby #sanfrancisco
π see you there!
Happy Birthday Ray Charles. Would have been 95 years old today!
I wrote up one amazing and humbling day I had working with him in 2000 here mileswoodroffe.com/articles/thr...
Just arrived in Viana do Castelo for @euruko 2025. So far so good. Looking forward to the conference, talks and of course #rubyfriends. #euruko2025 #ruby #portugal
On my way to see this tonight!
Same here. Great isnβt it? π π€£π

Asked a bunch of folks at Rails World about this and even though an edge case, quite annoying if you happen to bump in to it! My current "solution" is bit questionable, but did mean I could use this witty title for the post ;) #rails #turbo #iframes

Fantastic work and gifts from @marcoroth.dev! Within the first 2 minutes of trying this, I can't imagine not having this rich set of tools for developing erb views, and it's only the first version! Thanks Marco for all you do and are doing π
Arrive in Amsterdam for #railsworld. Super cool hotel is a great start. This is a view from my window. Dylan on the turntable. Love it! Off out to find some lunch. Looking forward to see so many #rubyfriends and great talks. #ruby #rails
If youβre a Rails developer and interested in native apps, get this book now! I was lucky to tech review it earlier in the year and read every last word, typed every line of code. Itβs fantastic. Great work Joe π
Little known fact: the first solid chocolate bar is claimed to have been produced here in Bristol mid-1800s by Fryβs!
(edited a bit for character limits π )

Picked up my guitar for the first time since I tripped and broke a couple of fingers in March. Managed a few chords! Next challenge, get running again after smashing my knee in the same epic mishap π
OZZ/WARPED TOGETHER FOR ONE GREAT DAY! OzzFest 98 meets up with Warped in Wisconsin
I never met Ozzy, but always seemed like a great bloke from afar.
I did see him play from side of stage when I was working on the Warped Tour and it somewhat absurdly linked up with OzzFest in 1998 in a field in Wisconsin. It was dubbed "Skating meets Satan" as I recall!
RIP Ozzy. Brummie Icon π€
Not everybody⦠yet.. :) rubyfriends.app/profiles/BPRC
Interesting. Spent a while working on Cookpadβs Alexa skill and so many challenges with the previous model. One insight I got from observing folks cooking with Alexa at home is often they just wanted company, so would ask random things expecting Alexa to answer. Much more likely to work with Plus
Was headed to London for this tomorrow, so while gutted itβs not happening, more importantly get well soon Jeff! One of the all time greats.
Dont know about βbestβ but jekyllrb.com still just works for me at least. Super simple
Love how this is evolving @marcoroth.dev. Stellar work. Thanks for sharing the slides and vision.
Nice! We booked out a couple of carriages at Cookpad for Ruby Kaigi in 2023 and had about 60 on board. A lot of fun but seating made it a bit hard to mingle π cookpad.connpass.com/event/277569/
dang, went 20 years without ever seeing this biting feedback on IMDB from 'xordu1' until right this second. Thanks dude.. but probably correct π€£
".. There were musical montages with the worst of the worst ska music and it just bugged me..."
Sad to hear of Michael Madsen's passing. I had a loose connection with him as he was the star of a movie that I co-wrote some songs for and played on. Not exactly Reservoir Dogs calibre, but was fun and makes a good story that I reminisced about a while back...

This was fantastic. @rosa.codes obviously a fountain of knowledge on Solid Queue with some unique insights from Basecamp/Hey. @robbyonrails.com asking the questions right after I was thinking βI wish heβd askβ¦β. 10/10 recommended #rails #ruby
