He's pretty tight lipped about his opinions. He does seem to get along with DHH and Tobi though, he shared a stage with them at one Rails World... Also I doubt the culture warriors are going to get what they want from Matz, he's

From what I've seen it's popular for startups in general. I'm using it for mine... More YC companies use Rails than you'd expect relative to it's "popularity". And yeah, in Japan Ruby is homegrown tech

RC gets paid money to run a service. It's not about the code.

Honestly, I have a few favourites and just use those. Low level stuff, my go-to these days is Odin. Just super pleasant to use. Also super easy C-FFI, so it can interact with most code out there with a small amount of effort. Web stuff, r

I'm excited for libghostty. Ghostty has a few design decisions I'm not a fan of, but being able to make my own terminal program or embed a terminal into any app with libghostty is a potential gamechanger.

Nice to see my beloved R still has some mindshare... Also Ruby.

Ruby was super hyped 10 years ago. Now all the hype-based programmers are on to TypeScript and Rust... Ruby is IMO at a nice level now; able to avoid some of the worst ideas that hype based programmers like to inflict on people, but still

Do a Google search for Sidekiq DHH. First link is about migrating from Sidekiq to Solid Queue. Third result (for me anyway) is a Reddit thread where Perham talks about trying to make Basecamp a customer and that he wasn't able to...

Except Matz is aligned with DHH, Tobi and others. I think lots of people confuse "nice" with "supporting every weird American left-wing cause pushed by certain corporations". Keep in mind most of the people who actuall

If you know anything about the ecosystem you'd know that Ruby Central runs the website/servuce AND maintains the gems, bundler included. Which is why I mentioned both.

Probably the fact that DHH introduced Solid Queue to Rails which can replace Sidekiq. Of course they're not going to say that, it'll be some excuse about his lukewarm European politics...

On one hand, I think it's hype and a waste of time, but on the other, I fully support people doing what they want. On the plus side, it IS a lot easier rewriting things that exist than solving novel problems.

Honestly, apps that require the web to actually do the thing you want, but also work offline, are more or less useless. You're basically just faking that it works offline, it doesn't do the thing you want, and it's a PITA fo

No one's implying it's fake money or resources, only that will no clear path to profit eventually the money will stop flowing and valuations will implode.

I think it started when PewDiePie released his Arch/Hyprland video, then DHH jumped on the train and made it super easy to install, now everyone can feel like a hacker/ricer easily. Maybe I'm boring but I'm sticking to D

Wow Musk really lives rent free in your head eh? My comment literally about the fact that space travel predates Musk's ambitions by generations, and y'all just double down... Fun fact, the first person to mention colonising other

The whole point of Mars (or any other second planet) is redundancy. If something happens to earth we have a backup plan, as a species.

It's literally their own governments who buy the software to spy on them. In the Islamic world, governments privately have relations with Israel and publicly condemn them to keep the populace distracted. Apart from Iran, who of course
