Shoutout to @marcoroth.dev for Herb. Just fixed a bunch of small typos in our HTML that it found. Browsers are pretty good at fixing these issues automatically, but I'd sure rather be sending correct HTML instead.

When people complain Shopify is too prominent, only main company donor in RC, etc. WTF folks. As if that was their choice! Where are the other companies pushing Ruby and Rails with real money and resources to be on par? Talk is cheap.

A few months ago, I recorded a podcast with Jack from @tuple.app 🥹 It's an episode in their Distributed podcast (tuple.app/distributed/). I talk about async work, long-form writing, Slack withdrawal symptoms, and my personal approach to work. If you're interested: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X9h...

Just listened to @jremsikjr.bsky.social on the Remote Ruby podcast with @excid3.com - XO Ruby sounds like it's going to be an incredible time. Small conferences are the best! I hope everyone that made it to Chicago loved it. Starting to recover from my Rails World FOMO and now I've got XO Ruby FOMO

Just updated sellrepo.com with better instructions on how to create a GitHub token. They're quite confusing and I couldn't find the right page on GitHub again, so now it's as simple as clicking a link in the setup instructions. 🎉

FerrumPDF now adds custom renderers to Rails for a much cleaner integration. You now call "render" just like you would for JSON or HTML and out pops a PDF of the page. @gorails.com lesson on this soon!
