I did not survive the #Amazon #layoffs today.

If you’re looking for an energetic #Rubyist hamster who is interested in figuring out hard problems people haven’t solved before, with a track record of doing it at scale, hit me up. I’m also interested if you’re only looking for a fractional CTO to help your company out part time. Or some other collaborative role that might otherwise be hard to describe.

If you're a senior #rubyist looking to get #fedihired I have something coming up. My very stable, long lived team of 7 (most of us have been here 10-20 years) is adding a contract to perm position. Message me for details about how to reach out to the contractor. We're definitely not hiring directly without a contract period.

#vim is my code editor of choice, but my fingers still expect some emacs bindings to work in shell prompts. I configure `set -o vi` locally, but frequently access servers or containers where that isn’t the default, so my finger memory sometimes gets bollixed up at the prompt.

On a side note, I also prefer using irb as a tape calculator with history to a GUI calculator app for most things. I can’t be the only #Rubyist who does that either, right?

If anyone knows someone looking for a #Rubyist with OS, network, and infosec exp. for:

- CLI/GUI application, gem, or #DevSecOps development;
- #API or #SDK work; or
- #RubyOnRails backend or testing work, e.g. HTML, CSS, TDD, DevOps integration, etc.

please DM me. I rely on word-of-mouth to find the coolest #rubylang projects, and would especially love to work with some of the brilliant people I’ve met on this instance over the past year.

Hello fellow #rubyist at #38c3. 🤩♦️🎸🤘🏻

Whoever you are: thank you for this 🙏🏻
I was delighted to see this #ruby reference on #day0

I actually have accounts on multiple #Mastodon instances, with each account focusing on a different topic. I'm a #Rubyist, but I'm also a #cybersecurity consultant, a business owner, train service dogs, run a non-profit, sit on several boards, and write a lot. Oh, and I'm a gamer, too.

I separate accounts to keep my feeds relatively topical. It says something nice about the #RubyLang community that about 80% of my total #fediverse followers are on #rubysocial.

Thank you all for engaging!

I'm proud to be part of a #nonprofit #thinktank that's actively promoting the greater good through education and training about how to enter the #AI era safely and effectively. I'll be presenting on Saturday with my colleagues on topics including #aiethics, #aigovernance, and #dataprivacy.

Come for the workshop, the Q&A, or just to heckle a fellow #Rubyist. Actually, don't. But if years on #StackOverflow haven't prepared me for that, I can't imagine what would! 🤣

It's #wnbrb meetup day!! If you are a #rubyist who identifies as non-binary or a women, come join the community! https://www.wnb-rb.dev/ 
WNB.rb: A Virtual Community for Women and Non-Binary Rubyists

WNB.rb is a virtual community for women and non-binary Rubyists. We offer a variety of resources and events to help you learn, grow, and connect with other Rubyists. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, we have something for you.

@array #CrystalLang is great if you're looking for a systems language that doesn't feel like C or Java. There are areas where it's still "not quite there" but it's making progress! Even if it isn't the hot ticket right now, I think it's a tool any #Rubyist can pick up to add to their overall toolbox.
