I finally got around to writing about the recent rubygems.org security improvements we've shipped!

It's been an interesting few days ⛑️

The report documents what happened and where things went wrong. I'm focused on on what comes next

I joined RubyCentral to release a postmortem, and today I'm delivering my report on what happened. The hope is to provide more transparency and closure, 194 days since the incident on September 18.

I've named the incident "RubyGems Fracture." Read my report. #ruby

I've been heads-down behind the scenes helping maintain rubygems.org and strengthen its operations. Richard's report is thorough & transparent, which the community has long deserved.

rubygems.org is a pillar of the Ruby community. I'm committed to finding a path forward that works for everyone ❤️

Oooo what's your current build?

Botched my CFP submission and won't be able to speak about the Bundler & RubyGems unification project 😔

rv has a big release, with windows support and gem CLI tools! the fastest way to generate a rails app is now `brew install rv; rvx rails new`. check it out: https://spinel.coop/blog/rv-0.5-cli-tools-windows/

The Ruby community shines because of leaders who build, care for, and sustain it.

Great view of the aurora in Australia!

Hasn't it been like... counts on fingers ...a WHOLE YEAR?!

Willing to ship you 3-4 hours of Melbourne daylight. DM me your postcode ☀️

頑張って!! 🙌🏻

I'm very honored to have received this year's RubyPrize from Matz's hands in Matsue last Thursday, recognizing my work on Ruby and its development tools.

I can still remember how nervous I was asking Matz for a picture back in 2016 😂 Time really flies

Congrats! 🙌🏻

The fire to build great tools for the Ruby community still burns bright in my friends — check out gem.coop.

However you see the recent announcement — please remember that there was an extremely passionate team of people who gave years of their lives to better the ruby community. This past month has been incredibly difficult and deeply hurtful.

Well deserved! 🙌🏻

Ruby community: Look, we can be angry about what's happening, we can raise our complaints, but under no circumstances should anyone _ever_ harass someone's families, coworkers, or friends.

That is completely unacceptable, and wholly against the ethos of the language. We must do better.

It's so painful to spend every waking second of the past few weeks thinking and working on ways to correct a bad decision, only to just be picked up and thrown away.

I'm so freaking tired 😫

While it's been a very difficult week for everyone, I can promise that rubygems.org is safe, secure and operating normally.

I’m hurt, numb, crying, in pain, regretful of not doing more for my friends. The last few days have been a nightmare being played out in real time. No matter the original reason behind it, no one did anything that deserved how we were all treated. 😔

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

Congrats! 🙌

I'm onboarding the very first Organization on rubygems.org in a few hours 🚀

This looks so fun! Wish I could be there.

Cradle mountain, though we did drive down past the great lakes on the way down to Hobart.
