And that’s a wrap for XO Ruby Austin.

@marcoroth.dev it was an awesome talk, so excited for the future of rails frontend ❤️🔥

A screen in a night club with a three banners that read Ruby Kaigi, RailsConf, and XO Ruby.

A surprise appearance by @marcoroth.dev live from Switzerland at XO Ruby Austin.

We got a sneak peek at Herb v0.8.0.

Thanks, Marco!

@jremsikjr.bsky.social thank you for putting together such an awesome XO Ruby in Austin! 💎🌵
The warmth and generosity you bring remind me exactly why I fell in love with the Ruby community. ❤️
MINASWAN always ✨

Social media gave everyone a printing press, then we discovered that most people use printing presses the same way they use bathroom stalls: to write inflammatory things they'd never say to someone's face...

Correct, YJIT, ZJIT, ruby lsp, prism are some of the big ruby projects that Shopify in all fairness contributed to community and still fully control

He’s not meaningfully involved in gem development including Rails. He had 4-5 non-meaningful commits this year, but he is the BDFL. He engineered the core team and Rails Foundation (and now Ruby Central) to be chess pieces on his board.

I hear you, I can’t blame you. It breaks my heart that I had to make that decision, but as a US citizen and an immigrant I personally can’t live with myself if I continue using his tech. Sometimes our values have to come before our comfort zones.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this man will ever just shut up. At this point it’s time to put Ruby and Rails behind us. He’s drunk on power, a fascist who gets a dopamine kick from dehumanizing people who disagree with him. He’s part of the global problem in every sense.

This. They’re attempting to dehumanize the marginalized minorities that said leader is attacking, a classical strategy by extremists to dismiss legit concerns. Very sad 😔​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What’s Ruby’s value proposition without the Rails ecosystem in 2025? Most of Ruby’s advantages came from Rails itself. Why not skip Ruby entirely for something with clearer technical benefits?

Support Plan Vert’s values but agree it won’t work. But curious about your new framework approach - how does it compete when developers leaving Rails could just learn Elixir/Go instead?

If the Ruby community doesn’t force Ruby Central to fix this, the community of thousands of open source gem maintainers should strike in solidarity.

No more `gem push`

The RoR community deserves better than a leader spewing political garbage. Rails is bigger than one guy’s culture war blog — it thrives because of its diverse, global community.

The Ruby community has a DHH problem The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

I used to think DHH was just an egotistical contrarian, not racist. But posting straight-up Islamophobia? So much for ‘no politics at work’ — open source leaders should stick to code, not spew political garbage.

Glorious 😂

This is one of those rare instances that I find my self speechless 😶😅

Fucking hell this is a mess! Ruby has one of the kindest communities, yet every few years we’re dragged into scandal!

451 all the way! 403 makes you a part of said government propaganda machine.

Woho! Freelensapp has landed on Bluesky. Go hit that follow button!

Been running Uptime Kuma and I can’t recommend it enough.
✅ Simple
✅ Flexible
✅ Feature-rich
✅ Easy to deploy
✅ Dirt-cheap to run

No reason to pay for a SaaS just to monitor uptime.

If you are not using Pagy for your rails app in 2025 you are doing it wrong!

Preach it 🙌🏻

Arab leaders are a bunch of cowardly traitors rats they will just bow down to the empire like they always do!

To say that I’m addicted to reading is an understatement

The founder Roberto Bandini is awesome and a true believer in the importance of community and FOSS I highly doubt he would ever change the license of FreelensApp
