@headius Wow that's wild. I can assure you that did not happen for SF Ruby - we all very much respect your work and think JRuby is awesome 💚

Call me paranoid, but I'm starting to see signs that there's folks actively sabotaging my work on JRuby... advising conferences not to accept my talks and projects to drop JRuby support. So disheartening to me after dedicating so many years to the Ruby and JRuby communities. 😢

Hi @drummer, @tian_zhi_chen, @imohitbhatia, and @kyeung_ 👋 Sorry for the cold outreach. I'm the sole maintainer of github.com/twitter/twitte… but I lost my access to the repo recently without explanation. Is this something you can help me with? Thanks in advance!

@JesseBremner @NFL @NFLPlus Hahahahahahahahaha no

@NFL @NFLPlus Could you imagine how easily the 49ers would have won this superbowl ?

@andrewculver @palkan_tula React is great, and so is inertia, but I don't think they are the future of the Rails front-end. I've been trying to promote LiveComponent as a React antidote instead: livecomponent.org

Rails people, is Inertia Rails the real future of the frontend on Rails? I am hearing this more and more.

@excid3 @remote_ruby @andrewmcodes Sweet! Looking forward to it!

@camertron @remote_ruby @andrewmcodes Yes! I'll send you a link.

Hey @remote_ruby, @excid3, and @andrewmcodes 👋 This is always awkward but... what would y'all think about having me on the show to talk about LiveComponent? Thanks for considering! livecomponent.org

@schwabsauce @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github I see the allure, and perhaps when the dust settles GitHub will have an app that its hundreds of engineers can more easily contribute to. I also wonder about the many things the company could have built instead, and all the existing systems they could have maintained better.

@schwabsauce @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github Because that's what ended up happening. GitHub isn't just rewriting small bits and pieces, they're rewriting huge swaths of the site. Issues and pull requests were the biggest two in-progress I knew about before I was laid off earlier this year.

One of my intentions with the Short Ruby Newsletter was to create an archive for these types of discussions. So, next time someone suggests that Rails might be the problem at GitHub, here are two people who can confirm it was not.

@schwabsauce @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github Why unsympathetic?

@camertron @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github This is rather unsympathetic, and makes me feel way more vindicated than I probably have any right to be

@bradgessler @github Right. Frameworkism, especially on the front-end, isn't delivering. As Alex Russell says, the answer isn't a new framwork; it's the courage to do engineering.

Some interesting history on how @github ended up with React in their stack. I've been in similar situations where I didn't want to say "No" to a team under the "use the right tool for the job" doctrine. I've since learned to say "No, a new framework won't solve the problem"

@bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github I wrote up my thoughts on that a few years ago @camertron/111394216953156643" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ruby.social/@camertron/111…

@lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer I'd like to know why @github felt it was necessary to switch to React.

Hey @kodykendall, I've tried to email you a few times over the last week or so about speaking at the SF Ruby Meetup coming up this Tuesday 9/30. Please let me know if you're available!

Yo @joinsimplify! I had to click no less than *449 times* to go back far enough to enter my birthdate. That feels like too many times? Probably should let me use my keyboard #protip

Yo @RavensburgerNA, is it normal to have 65 (!!) duplicate pieces?? They made this already challenging 1000 piece puzzle (Bizarre Bookshop 2) much more difficult. But more concerning... is there some poor soul out there trying to put together their copy missing 65 pieces??

@keithschacht Finally, convincing people to switch to another templating language is always a tough sell. For example, the tooling around ERB, Slim, HAML, etc is way better than Rux. But also, all you really get from it is nicer-looking templates. Most people don't care.

@keithschacht Some additional thoughts in no particular order: 1. I have some local changes I've been meaning to push up. 2. I'm working on another project that uses Rux. 3. Rux works (at least in dev) by monkeypatching Ruby internals, which always made me hesitant to recommend it.

@camertron What ever happened with your Rux project? It’s a cool concept but looks like there’s been no activity for the past year. Any reflection on what worked/didn’t work with it in order to gain more widespread use of something like it?
