Oh! I have a good idea. I need to quickly add a new feature on my movie database app.

Why can't I access my raspberry pi? [5 mins of troubleshooting]
...Oh darn, router has apparently changed the pi's IP address. Well, no biggie.
[random setting file editing]

Ooh! #RubyLang 4.0 is apparently out.
[rvm furiously compiling for 10+ minutes]
...Might as well upgrade to #RubyOnRails 8.1 while I'm at it, doesn't look like a massive change.
[hit da button to make bundler redownload a whole bunch of gems for ages and I don't even know if it's successful yet but I hope so]

...right, where the hell was I?

Just released the first "stable" version of doing, a rust clone of the ruby gem doing by @brett. I would love for you to take it for a spin, especially if you've used doing in the past.

Today I needed to write a passphrase generator and I was looking around for a good word list for this. The EFF publishes a list of words that are a good fit for passphrases for reasons they explain. Very nice!

https://www.eff.org/dice

Dead-simple Ruby code to generate some passphrases that are 3 words long, include a digit, capital letters, and dashes.

words = 3.times.map { word_list.sample.capitalize }
ix = rand(words.count)
words[ix] = format("%s%i", words[ix], rand(9))
words.join("-")

Probably the most useful piece of code I've written to make my life easier is an Enum generator for Ruby.

Enum types in Ruby

When I start a new project in Ruby, the first module I copy over is my custom little enum.rb. Many popular programming languages have built-in support for enums. C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Rust, Swift, but also looser-typed languages like PHP and Python. Ruby doesn’t have native support for enum types, but it’s not hard to add and add some clarity and cleanliness to your code.

In this article, I explore the modern Ruby CLI stack — Thor, TTY Toolkit, and more — and show how to move from simple scripts to polished terminal applications.

👉 If you build developer tools, automation, DevOps utilities, or internal platforms, this ecosystem is worth knowing.

Ruby on Terminal is real — and it’s powerful.

Ruby 4 isn’t only about experimental features.

It also brings a set of “quiet improvements” that directly impact everyday code:
Set as a core class, Array#rfind, improved inspect control, multiline logical operators, high-precision math functions, and subtle performance refinements.

Small changes — real practical benefits.
