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.

Apparently they're rolling out a change where you need 2FA just to use the crosswalk. That's right, you gotta have street creds

Heading home from RubyConf. I had an amazing time. I met lots of old friends and made new ones too. I especially enjoyed helping folks get a CRuby dev environment up and running. We added Array#second, then added an Oxford comma to Prism, and studied YARV. It was really fun!
