In celebration of @rubykaigi I released Herb v0.10 today! 🌿
It ships with new primitives and provides the foundation that we need to build out production reactivity in ReActionView!
Along with a new Diffing Engine and ActionView-specific static analysis!
2 weeks ago, I attended RubyConf Austria in Vienna. A first day AI panel left me wondering: if programming languages are becoming irrelevant, will Ruby conferences still matter? Then, the next day, I noticed what looked like clues pointing to an answer. radan.dev/news/ruby-conf-at?…
Save the date, mark your calendars, and decline the invite to the All Hands meeting! The second edition of @sfrubyconf is happening Nov 10-12.
Our first confirmed keynote speaker is @garrytan, president and CEO of Y Combinator and longtime Rails builder.
Ruby on Rails is the common ingredient in success stories like Shopify and GitHub. Last year, we brought together the people building with Rails and the companies shaping its future. This year, we're doing it again in the home to some of Rails' biggest wins.

The thing about people talking about building with AI is that they always talk about how they’re building, what tools they use, and how much they use them.
Much less is said about what they actually built, or what impact it had.
The tool becomes the job. And the purpose.
🎙️ Remote Ruby: Blue Ridge Ruby Insights & Experiences
David recaps Blue Ridge Ruby, open source motivation, and why smaller Ruby conferences lead to better hallway conversations and lightning talks.
We also get into Rails Stripe lessons.

I've been seeing posts all over about the state of CTFs post-LLM. I've seen many attempts to explain why this is just a new evolution of CTFs, but I fundamentally disagree. I believe the original spirit is gone and I've written why in my blog.

What can I say in retrospect of @balkanruby 2026? I had a blast, the talks were good, the venue was unique, the treasure hunt was top-notch, and the children played. It was a communal experience, and I cannot imagine us ever topping the museum. Maybe we shouldn't.
