I rarely subtoot, but when I do just to say: if an open source project that your commercial project depends on breaks something in your software stack, causing you trouble, no matter how much, that's your problem and your problem alone.

#Accessibility is definitely an underrated topic.
I'm glad that @carmemias is raising awareness at @brightonruby.

The first slide of @valeriecodes's from @rubycentral / #heroku talk is already gold 😅

Every single talk that I saw from @rosa is just fantastic and highly recommended. 🤩

Don't panic slide on Brighton Ruby

Having @andycroll referencing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at @brightonruby is pretty cool.

Interesting analogy between AI coding tools and machine translation:

Today I learned that you can program #Minecraft plugins with @JRuby 🤯

A slide showing the yearly talks from Ruby conferences

Last year, in #2024, there were more :ruby: #ruby #conference #talks than ever before.

@marco's slide shows 712 talks, while the year that came second was 2015 with 549 talks.

Just in case you need any reassurance that #rubylang is more alive than ever.

Matz presenting a first draft for Ruby namespaces

Uuuh, #Ruby will likely get #Namespaces although the syntax will change because #GitLab already uses `Namespace` a lot and @matz doesn't want to break it for them.

But that is indeed a feature that I was missing from #rubylang.
