After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness.

The events of the past week have still been really hard for me to process.
The only way I can describe it is a nasty breakup of a decade-long relationship.
I know people in the community are (rightfully) upset. I just ask that you remember individuals were directly hurt too.

Nothing says "we will ignore everything that is said in a Q&A" like scheduling it over Rosh Hashanah.

This is, at best, an extreme mischaracterization of what’s happened over the past week.
As a member of the rubygems team for over a decade, Ruby Central’s actions happened without discussion with the maintainers team. Afterwords, the entire team spoke out against what had happened.

Today I’ll be mourning what’s happened to projects I have poured a third of my life into.
Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.
Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.

Today is my last day working full-time on RubyGems. While being able to focus on securing the Ruby packaging ecosystem has been a dream job, the time has come for me to move on from Ruby Central. I’ll still be maintaining RubyGems/Bundler/RubyGems.org, just not as my day job.

Is 6/49 CfP speakers being women a red flag to you?

My views are my own, and clearly not those of my employer but: it sure doesn't feel great to be told to be excited about the latest headliner for our organization's conference. Feels really gross, in fact.

When @segiddins.me needed jruby-openssl features that were missing compared to the CRuby version, he just called into Java's security API from Ruby and added them! That's a true "power of JRuby" story!

A poem
Today I witnessed a miracle
A short ride from the most evil place on earth
Grounds forever stained with blood and tears and horror
There still stands a building
Yes, there is a cemetery outside
Yes, the cemetery has graves
Yes, the cemetery carries the whispers of our foreparents
Today I witnessed a miracle
A short ride from the most evil place on earth
Grounds forever stained with blood and tears and horror
There still stands a building
Yes, there is a cemetery outside
