I'm so hyped as we get closer & closer to the Christmas Day release of Ruby 3.2. Actually, there are so many great things in 3.2 that we couldn't wait for release day, but already deployed it for all Shopify storefront requests.
Allow me to do a deep dive on all the details 🧵
21 Dec 2022
All storefront requests are now served by the latest version of ruby with YJIT enabled! We are seeing ~10% speedups across the board.
YJIT that has been developed by @Love2Code's and team at Shopify.

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
ALT Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.

My team at @JoinDrop recently completed a migration, which reduced the primary server traffic by 67% and request latency by 80%.
The migration required nearly a million API calls, but with the help of @ShopifyEng's maintenance_tasks gem, it was a breeze.

I accidentally hit the "translate page" button in Chrome while looking at some Ruby code, and now I just can't stop laughing.

Over the weekend I became a maintainer of Rubygems.org. 🥳🚀 I'm excited to continue working w/ the community to make this amazing ecosystem even better & more secure. 🎉
Along with this we're launching the first phase of our new MFA policy today 🎉🥳!
13 Jun 2022
To better secure RubyGems, today we're introducing a new policy.
- Popular gem maintainers will see prompts to enable multi-factor auth.
- Starting Aug 15, MFA will be enforced.
This move will help us build a safer community inline with other ecosystems.

New week, new RubyGems.org maintainer ✨
From being terrified of contributing to OS 9 mo ago to becoming a maintainer feels unreal. Thanks to the RubyGems.org maintainers my team for getting me here.
Excited to continue to work on and level up RubyGems!

Many deaths AP documented in Mariupol were of children, despite Russia’s claims of not attacking civilians. “Why? Why? Why?” a mother wailed after her son's death.

Lorinda Cherry, creator of bc, eqn, and other tools, was truly a pioneer. I am most grateful for her kindness and acceptance when I was starting out. Rest in peace.
If you’ve never heard of her, take the time to read Doug McIlroy’s tribute.

New study finds that the average carbon footprint in the top 1% of emitters is more than 75-times higher than that in the bottom 50%. The top 10% are contributing almost half of all emitted CO2. nature.com/articles/s41893-0…

Gem authors: I'd like to understand more about why you don't use MFA on rubygems.org.
Is it because you haven't got around to it? Don't like the extra step to login? Some other reason? Please let me know.
