Dear gem maintainers 👋 Rails 8.1 just dropped, but many gems can’t be used because of overly strict gemspec constraints. Please don’t hard-restrict Rails versions, let us test early and report real issues sooner! ❤️ Thanks

For Rails folks out there: should Rails have a built-in way to override `Warning.warn` to use the Rails logger (if defined) instead of `$stderr`? I assume someone must be already doing that but perhaps there's a reason why we shouldn't.

The Herb Linter by @marcoroth.dev just works™ It caught both the fact that we're missing double quotes and that we've used `<% %>` instead of `<%= %>`. And it automatically produced GitHub-compatible output 👌

If you're like me and have Byebug's `continue LINE#` as muscle memory, it can be hard to remember that you can't do that in the Debug gem, you need to call `until LINE#` instead. I wrote a snippet to make debug's `continue` work like it does in byebug; add this to your `~/.rdbgrc.rb` file:

I'm trying to plan a deep-dive into the Rails source workshop for next Friday. What do you want to see? Anything in particular that seems mysterious or daunting that we could break down?

Let’s give Ruby’s English documentation new homepages! If this is accepted in time, it’ll be applied to the upcoming Ruby 3.4 documentation. We can then explore ways to backport similar changes to older Ruby versions. PR: github.com/ruby/ruby/pu...

Rails 8.0 hasn't even been out 24 hours and we're already running it in production at Zendesk. Tens of thousands of subdomains now powered by Rails 8.0. Just another humble entry into the "Does Ruby/Rails scale?" conversation. 💎🚆 #ruby #rails
