Now Heroku is drifting away... running your own servers is fine right? rubytshirts.com/products/serve…

@PurpleRiver_Dev @hatchboxio I'm extremely narrow in my marketing efforts on the way to the world's dominant provider of nerd t-shirts. One customer at a time.

@andycroll @hatchboxio Amazing!

Running your own servers doesn't have to be scary. Spinning up a new service for every side project is draining. Instead, deploy everything to one server with us — it just works. Auto deploys, multiple apps on a single box, and way less money out the door each month.

@hatchboxio I have a fair few t-shirts which say "No Servers Allowed" from when I was working for a company that was pushing serverless hard. Can we get a "Servers Aren't Scary" tshirt? Maybe BigScary himself @andycroll could help? (with rubytshirts.com)

Just to say we're up to a very healthly 2,400+ organisations on usingrails.com. You can thank @marcoroth_ for a bunch of those :-)

@andrewculver And you get to feel like a giant.

Guys, I’ve been using a Mac mini, Tailscale, Screens, a folding keyboard, and a MagSafe wallet stand to use macOS on my iPhone and for two seconds I thought maybe it was too much, but after a few hours I think it’s frigging awesome.

Good morning to everyone except the accountants who send you password protected pdfs and then you need to open it 3 years later and can't get into your own file and you're thwarted by every attempt to get the password off the stupid thing

The sponsorship prospectus is available. Reach hundreds of Ruby developers in one go in June. Without sponsors I have to have a very difficult conversation with my spouse about why the hell I do this at all. And probably videos don't happen. brightonruby.com/files/brighton…

You can still get reasonably priced tickets, let's get on that, prices will go up once more because early (and large) purchases are manna from heaven for events. ti.to/goodscary/brig…

Opening the CFP for Brighton Ruby 2026. All the videos are up for last year. Tickets still on sale. Please sponsor. (PLEASE)
