Workflows are like a specialized tool for developers building Expo apps. They add the glue between all the steps you need to deliver your code to your users.

🚨 Launch Party day 3: Announcing "Workflows" preview Workflows is a tailored CICD service that allows your team to be more consistent, to ship faster, & to reduce the amount of CICD surface area that you maintain. Check out the blog post (and demo video) from @jonsamp.dev: expo.dev/blog/expo-wo...

I’m back home and already missing all my #RubyFriends. Honestly, going to RubyConf every year is what keeps me in tech — you are all such lovely, intelligent people, and I feel so lucky that I get to work alongside every one of you. Thank you for an amazing time 🙏

So, I did a talk at #RubyConf. A keynote, an incredible honor. But before I did it, I updated my slides with my BlueSky (and Mastodon) handles. When I came off stage, I saw this, and it’s been literal years since I’ve seen this on socials after a talk. I’m so glad we all picked a place finally.

I am honoured to be part of the #WNBrb community 🌟 and, truly privileged to contribute to the growth of the Africa chapter 🌍. We kick things off with a one-day workshop in #KilifiCounty 📍. Teaching Ruby on Rails 💻💡. Reach out to If support or get involved 🤝💌 Let's make a difference! ❤️

Takeaway: the developer experience impacts how developers feel about the Ruby language itself. We are losing potential Ruby developers because our tooling ecosystem is so fragmented.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but to get to Matz’s vision of dynamic type inference, we first have to invest more in *static* typing and better type inference in the typing ecosystems we already have. #RubyConf2024

Which is not to say everyone has to use or love types, just that we’re not magically going to get to the most advanced version of this technology without working on earlier versions first.

I'm at RubyConf this week! Please feel free to say hi, even if we haven't met before! I seriously can't wait to see all my #RubyFriends again 😍

I could use X but: - It's lost a lot of its magic/content/people - Features are 📉 - Leadership there is ... Or I could use bsky: - Made with @expo.dev tools - People who make it are genuinely awesome - Community is magic 🌟 So, hello again my bsky friends!

The new artwork is now live on RubyVideo! 🥳

RubyVideo is getting a fresh look! We’ve been experimenting with hero sections, inspired by the hero sections you might have seen on streaming services. We also cracked 4k indexed talks today! They are also going to be in production soon! 🎉

👋 Not tech related, but I'm running the Chicago marathon next month and raising money for a local dog shelter. I'm less than $400 away from my goal, and would really appreciate any help to get me over the (financial and physical) finish line! Thank you! fundraisers.hakuapp.com/emily-samp

I’m looking for the ruby developer community on Blue Sky! If you are a ruby dev please post here so we can find each other. (And you count as a ruby dev no matter where you are in the learning process!)

You are up to date.
