Jared is awesome and so frickin' smart. You want Jared on your team.
Wow, what a weeknotes: website writing, fellowship writing, JRuby improvements, a bunch of fixes and releases, Puma 7.1 in Hanami, i18n planning, and one very helpful bout of procrastivity on our repo-sync.

Weeknotes: resourceful routes, another batch of contributions (including a new bin/setup, plus a little something just for our friends at gem.coop), speaking at open summit, and a cool new open source Hanami app!

Excellent piece on who's being unreasonable about Covid mitigations and on who carries the burden in the end.
“Instead of complaining that disabled people are asking me to participate in normalizing COVID mitigations, why don’t I acknowledge the absurdity and severity and difficulty of this situation? Why don’t I participate in changing the culture before it’s my turn to suffer as others ignore me?”
Must read.

Long term…
If the "only" thing which comes out of the #Ruby Central debacle is we end up with officially decentralized gem hosting along with namespace support at the package level,
that's actually a huge win.
But I'm positive we're going to see other innovations.
It's a lie that growth only comes from top-down BDFL-style orgs. Not only that, it's often the opposite. Innovation comes from—oh yeah, here we go—diversity.
Ever heard of Loose Coupling? Works for culture not just codebases.
