@harpaa01 i got scared and don’t understand what messages are private on mastodon. I looked for a goodbye post in slack, but didn’t see anything.

@harpaa01 oh no! Layoffs are so unfair. Yeah! Little one is here! I am sleep deprived, but starting to come back to life. Yeah, ill DM you a phone number or something.

@harpaa01 nope! Staying home for this one sadly. End of an era for Rails conf. Have fun though! I think other Hubbers will be there.

I converted my RubyKaigi 2024 talk "Finding Memory Leaks in the Ruby Ecosystem" into a blog post.

In this blog post, I introduce RUBY_FREE_AT_EXIT, a new feature in Ruby 3.3 that @HParker and I worked on.

I just published a blog post about Autotuner, a gem that analyzes your app's traffic and provide suggestions for tuning the garbage collector to improve response times, decrease memory usage, and help you save on server costs. railsatscale.com/2024-04-24-au

@eightbitraptor added you on Zwift. Maybe we need a “Ruby Riders” group.

@eightbitraptor i struggle with the Kaweko sport pens digging into my finger too hard. Maybe my grip it too low, but either way i struggle.

@joeldrapper oh do you do pre compilation for nested templates? That is kinda neat!

2024-02-06

@joeldrapper oh! What are you making?

@darkspy it is good. Shopify has a blog post i believe. Seems worth configuring it and trying it in most cases. railsatscale.com/2023-09-18-ru
