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.

This must be one of the best articles about #RuboCop I ever came across https://lovro-bikic.github.io/300-days-of-rubocop/

It made really proud of the work we've done with the project, and the great community around it!

Well, today is the day. I'm finally "sorta happy enough to pull the trigger" on publishing the book I've been working on for a very long time. It's a technical history book: by a techie, for techies (although I think that between all the code samples, there is plenty of meat for "tech-adjacent" and "tech-interested" people). It tells the story of the Lisp programming language, invented by a genius called John McCarthy in 1958 and today still going strong (to the extent that many people see it as the most powerful programming language in existence).

And this is a time for shameless self promotion, even if you don't plan on buying the book, please repost :-). Self-publishing is self-marketing, so there we go.

If you do buy and read it, please let me know how you liked it!

The book landing page, https://berksoft.ca/gol, has links to all outlets where you can buy the book,
