So I put a small site together. If you'd be interested in attending the Ruby Magic Conference in Orlando (hopefully late 2027), I'd love it if you'd visit the site and let me know: rubymagic.dev/

We are officially a go for next year. April 29th and 30th 2027. More info coming soon!
Now starts the process of looking for sponsors so I can determine what ticket prices and speaker budget will be. Please reach out if you are interested.
It isn't official until it is on rubyevents.org so today Blastoff Rails 2027 is officially happening! June 10-11 are our dates and our venue will once again be the wonderful Albuquerque Museum.
At this point I don't think we have to do the whole "I made- I mean Claude made this sweet tool this afternoon". Just say you made it. I get what you mean. You don't say "I made- I mean Vitamix made a great smoothie this morning."
This was a really good writeup from @mattsolt about the state of Ruby and Rails right now (prompted by the dhh keynote of course) with links to awesome writing from others. Took me all morning to get through it and I am very glad I did. Highly recommend.

Wrote a thing about last week's Rails World.

"people change slower than software."
Yeah I forget to accout for this sometimes
thanks for the long and detailed reply. I'll think about it more to give it the time it deserves. I think you're responding a bit more to David than to me, but that's OK. I don't think crapping out code is the endgame as I think my other tweets reveal.
I think a big part of the answer to some of your questions is going to be "what OSS communities will actually embrace and allow these kinds of drastic changes to be made?" people change slower than software.
What I am telling myself after the dhh keynote 😆
"It's a little weird but I wouldn't worry about it." @robbyrussell speaking my language at #RailsWorld
Rumor has it @jeremysmithco spent 140+ hours on this talk and it shows. So well done and so practical! 👏👏👏 xitter.cf/travis_code/status/210…

If you see someone with this shirt at Rails World next week it is either me or a coworker of mine. Either way you should say hello! Excited to see new and old friends!
Did a half marathon today. I am very sore but it was a beautiful day for a run in Albuquerque and I am pretty happy with the pace.
A fresh 'rails new' app pushed to GitHub is predominantly HTML 🤯
It's HTML - because of a few auto generated HTML pages (like error pages). Ruby is so efficient that a few pages of static HTML overweigh ALL Rails new boilerplate. Proof: github.com/irinanazarova/rai…
Because @github's language detector, Linguist, picks the primary language by byte count, a new Rails 8 application is classified as an HTML repository until its author has written roughly 13 KB of Ruby.
I'm preparing a PR to Linguist.
Forgot to mention this run was saved by @AppSignal. They didn't alert me of any errors during my run but they did fuel me with conference swag.
