I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

I'd love to, but I don't use Hanami for production work. That said, I do use and appreciate some gems in the Hanami ecosystem. It's exciting to see that the folks working on it have launched a patron program! https://hanamirb.org/blog/2025/06/03/become-a-hanami-dry-and-rom-patron/

v4 of rack-mini-profiler has been released!

Fascinating breakdown of Facebook's secret, very very illegal "localhost tracking" tech.

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion.

You just can't finish off Zuckerberg.

We've got a few slots open in July for our performance retainer service. Over a 6-month term, we show you the way to solve whatever perf problems you're encountering: latency, web vitals, scalability, uptime.
I'm looking for security consultant recommendations! I support a non-profit that’s building PII-storing open source software that integrates with government data storage systems, and they would like a third-party security assessment. This is *not* about compliance, this is straight-up wanting somebody to review their code and practices, try to break in, etc. If you've worked a small or single-person (read as: not really expensive) consultant you'd recommend for this, I'd love to hear about them.

We're doing a big audacious thing with Hanami, Dry, and Rom and we'd love your support.

Do you know of any companies that could be willing to be one of our patrons?

People told me 10 years ago Ruby was a dying language and to get out while I still could.

I'm still here. Do what you love.

We are so grateful for our founding patrons.

Thank you to @sidekiq, @baweaver, @honeybadger, @FastRuby, and @appsignal!

We would love for you to join them!

Thank you also to @rubycentral for serving as our fiscal host for our business patrons.
