Interesting info on Shopify and the latest rubygems controversy. To me, the most interesting bit is how Tobi is the primary driver of Ruby adoption (to the dissatisfaction of some staff), which makes Ruby even more tenuous than I’d previously thought, and thus more dependent on Rails. Dang. https://byroot.github.io/opensource/ruby/2025/10/09/dear-rubyists.html
Dear Rubyists: Shopify Isn’t Your Enemy
I’ve been meaning to write a post about my perspective on Open Source and corporate entities. I already got the rough outline of it; however, I’m suffering from writer’s block, but more importantly, the whole post is a praise of how Shopify engages with Open Source communities. Hence, given the current climate, I don’t think I could publish it without addressing the elephant in the room first anyway.
