I'm in the UK at least once a year and I can also come around without a conference happening. Also feel free to ping me in case you're in Switzerland at one point. 😉

@cooperx86.bsky.social thank you for mentioning @whysfoxes.bsky.social in Ruby Weekly 🙏 I'd love if you will also write/draw into it one day.

🤗🫠🙏🏼 Likewise Rosa: I'm sure that I'm speaking for everybody in the Ruby community, when I say that we are incredibly lucky to have you! 🙏🏼 You're a perfect example for #MINASWAN and that some people are just as amazing off stage as they are on stage. You are a real 💎 Gem.

Yes. Keep in mind that this is not a port from Microsoft. Also some prior have been doing stack ports anyway. 😅 Before AI, I would've said something like "but is the performance win of 6.9% - 8% worth it?" but nowadays reading code is probably becoming less important.

Hey, Rails peeps. Hot Cell is a suite of gems that helps you secure Active Storage against image library zero-days. I just released v1.0! mike.daless.io/posts/2026/1... Links to Rails World video and slides as well as the project repo and docs are in the post.

Hot Cell v1.0: Securing Active Storage in the age of AI

Hot Cell v1.0 moves Active Storage's image, video, and PDF processing out of your Rails app and into a locked-down sidecar container.

Btw it's also pretty cool to see raw photos of posts in the wild. See Nick's post as an example: bsky.app/profile/schw...

The vast majority of entries is still to be published. Please bare with me. 🙏 It's more work than most expect. A real scan for least distortion and best quality. Then I fix the orientation and colours because of poor paper quality. Every page and every pen colour leads to a different contrast.

In my Spanish bubble people are often torn. Even which might be the best dub. It seems that the Mexican dub is pretty popular amongst people who are watching The Simpsons 😅

I hope that it's okay that I stole your screenshot and posted it on the other network.

Today is a big day for Herb! It's built into Rails 8.2 by default for all HTML+ERB views. My talk at #RailsWorld in Austin today answered three questions: What is Herb? What ships in Rails 8.2? And what does this enable? Herb v0.11 and ReActionView v0.6 released alongside it.

@hola-soy-milk.online You're coming to Switzerland at the only time I'm not here! 😭

Exactly. You got it: it is not tolerated. Which place in Europe do you know where this behaviour would be tolerated? Also DHH's numbers regarding "Danes are the minority" don't add up at all. His phrase does completely fulfill the typical "re-populating" (German "Umvolkung") propaganda though. 🙄

Hey folks, which conferences are you still attending this year? I haven't made up my mind about the next ones but I still want to bring the @whysfoxes.bsky.social conference guestbook somewhere. 😅

👏🏻 you can be proud indeed 😊 Congrats to her

Would you mind elaborating how and where you're using them? I think that it's super underrated to have non-US and non-Chinese models at hand and knowing where they fail and where they shine.

Alexander Adam @alexanderadam.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

So @jamie.schembri.me we hopefully might see the 'step down' in regards of pricing next year again. 😉

Alexander Adam @alexanderadam.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

This is also one of the things that created that nice mix of Rubyists. Some of my friends didn't attend to EuRuKo conferences even when the journey and/or accommodation is too pricey. I'm sure that there must be very good reasons for that pricing.

Alexander Adam @alexanderadam.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

My memory might be off but it felt like most ticket prices were once between 50 and 120 Euro. It is, or was, the type of conference that's not enterprisey — where you don't have to beg for your employer to go.

Alexander Adam @alexanderadam.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I remember #EuRuKo being pretty affordable for people from not-so-wealthy countries. I guess 🇨🇿 #Czechia hit inflation too for #EuRuKo2026. It was nice that most #RubyConferences were affordable for everybody. It made you meet people that otherwise wouldn't have come.

I realized it has been ~1.5 years since I concluded my series of post on JSON optimization. So I got curious how much faster it became since then. 2.7.2 was the last version before I took over maintainership. 2.9.0 was the version I released at the end of the blog series.

I don't understand why "it's only downhill from here" means things are going to get worse. Imagine fighting an uphill battle only to find out that it's only downhill from here
