Sure, by migrating it to Azure they made it less stable, but don't forget they also migrated the UI to React so it's slower too. Enterprise-ready™!

I recently cut my first Gem Fellowship check to @jaredwhite@indieweb.social from the @bridgetown@ruby.social project. He’s in Portland too so we got a pic. Congrats Jared! https://gem.coop/updates/2026-fellowship/

@drahardja@sfba.social @deepfryed@fosstodon.org with great power comes great responsibility. Leaders need to be assertive about their values and who they choose to work with.

Mysterious warning to Ruby app maintainers: “bundle update rack” asap.
I see many AI proponents advising "Use it to build all of your own tooling". This falls apart when people and orgs depend on those tools. Total cost of ownership is:
TCO = Cost of creation + (Cost of annual maintenance * years)
Does AI make maintenance cheaper? Is it easy to maintain a big pile of AI generated code? GitHub's downtime chart would suggest the answer is "NO".
Same reason I moved the Sidekiq wiki to Sidekiq.org a few months ago. Everyone should be reducing their dependency on github right now.
Hello, my fellow nerds!
@sidekiq@ruby.social 8.1.2, Sidekiq Pro 8.1.1 and Sidekiq Enterprise 8.1.1 are now available. The major change is the new `kiq` terminal UI now available.
Upgrade and try `bundle exec kiq` to see it in action!
From a compsci POV, they are forcing non-determinism into the software development process when you want it to be predictable and deterministic. GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Config flags are a bane https://00f.net/2026/04/11/config-flags/ (this article remains me I should search for config hacks to remove for Sidekiq 9.0.)
`bundle up rack-session` if you use it. This is a 10/10 security bug for anyone that uses Rack::Session::Cookie. https://github.com/rack/rack-session/security/advisories/GHSA-33qg-7wpp-89cq
This retrospective music video from Razor 1911 is a legitimate banger if you knew the warez, mod, demo and BBS scenes in the late 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dybkLM-1eQo
Einhorn 1.1 was released yesterday with some dependency updates, no more native gem dependencies by default! https://github.com/contribsys/einhorn/blob/main/Changes.md#110
Ruby 3.4's new `prism` parser is 2.5x faster than the old `parse.y` parser, according to @eregon@ruby.social. Nice work!

@johnl@mastodon.social @hejsna@ruby.social the core tenet of supremacy is “rules for thee, not for me”. That explains the hypocrisy: rules and laws only apply to plebs.
@adarsh@ruby.social I read he performed at trump rallies.

@jan@toot.io @evanphx@ruby.social Not bad. I have a customer doing 22 billion per day, 250k per sec.
@adarsh@ruby.social This is what I saw https://bsky.app/profile/melodyschreiber.com/post/3mhewfv2zk22r apologies if it is social media slop
Replying to
@christine@ruby.social big layoffs in engineering and no new high touch customers requiring support. No new features and no support means low personnel and high profits. AI is their focus.
