People jumped to conclusions about this RubyGems thing

Have now received multiple apology emails from people who called my previous post a "hit job." First time for everything. https://justin.searls.co/links/2025-10-09-people-jumped-to-conclusions-about-this-rubygems-thing/

@pointlessone yes! Started with that.

Ruby pals - I seem to have used a very old email address I no longer have access to for creating a RubyGems account forever ago. Someone’s asked for a gem name that I’m not going to use. But I can’t signin/connect to add an owner.

Thoughts on how to reclaim an account in this state?

@adarsh I know I asked you. But when were you in school?
@adarsh GO BLUE!

What a crowd! What a kick-off! 🤩

We're so grateful to the community for being here and to Matz for keynoting #RubyConf this morning.

Remember to tag us in your photos!

Matz even touched on this idea in his keynote! We are a very close community with very direct access to him and the other people building the language. It’s a great aspect of the language and ecosystem. #RubyConf https://ruby.social/@pushcx/113477083641699490

Very odd experience at #RubyConf, I’m sitting in a talk on Ruby history, explaining Matz’s influences, motivations… and Matz is sitting in the front row, nodding along. I expect it is even more odd for him! The speaker even threw to him for a question about how booleans were handled early on.

@rubyconf unsolicited advice: turn the lights down/off in the presentation rooms for improved slide contrast and visibility

good for the presenter and audience

@alexch not helping.
