Also for the Ruby people in Madrid. That mountain chain in the back is called La Pedriza and it is absolutely beautiful. I’m thinking of organising a one day retreat with Ruby people. Hiking plus Ruby talk.
Please let me know if you’re interested!

Last 6 months I’ve been working so much that I forgot that I live in such a beautiful place.
Two weeks ago I started to work less and started to go back to running twice a week.

When you have multiple stimulus actions on an element for different controllers do you order by the trigger or by the controller? I initially ordered by trigger but my project partner called it out in PR review to order by controller. I think they both make sense but I'm curious what others do

I'm pretty certain, though I haven't had the time to develop a proper data scraper to confirm, that Ruby articles are appearing more frequently on the front page of Hacker News this year.
I'm specifically referring to technical articles.

Working at @shortruby.com brings a great feeling, especially seeing some #Ruby blogs that haven't posted in years start sharing content again.
I don't know their reasons, but I imagine, perhaps they now have more time or have renewed faith in the community's growth.

There’s a lot of discussion about using LLMs to build applications, including generating test cases. It’s interesting to read people’s experiences and see how LLMs are affecting software development.
Opinions on the usefulness of LLMs range from very positive to negative

When using LLMs in software development, generate either tests or code, not both, to avoid risks. For complex problems or business logic, stick to one choice.
