Do I know anybody from the Small Bets Community (or another like it) who has a few Ruby-based startups/indie businesses they run? Would appreciate some reposts to find a few people to talk to.

Got this right away and can't wait to dig in!

After more than a year of labor, my book 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 has launched! It's all my best ideas -- and best writing -- on how to grow your company with your existing budget and team. And yes, I read the audiobook myself. :-) (1/5)

For the past 3 months I've been running Hackapura, a community for people building bootstrapped SaaS businesses in Singapore. We co-work every Thursday: sharing goals for the day at 10am and doing demos at 4pm. Record 15+ turnout yesterday, so encouraging to see the independent scene here growing!

Gave my first talk at a Ruby conference yesterday! 🎉 I talked about my personal journey of becoming a Ruby developer after two decades in marketing, building SaaS products and the hard lessons I had to learn along the way. Based on the response, it seems to have resonated with quite a few people.

I'm looking for #Ruby or #Elixir work, can start immediately. Freelancer, getter-of-things-done, many years of experience, feel free to DM for more info. Can work worldwide. Happy to work with other languages/frameworks and devops as needed.

The new Ruby website looks amazing! It even features our little Red Dot Ruby Conference on the homepage. ❤️

We were very proud to present @marcoroth.dev with the Rails Luminary Award 2025. And yes, I was on a secret mission to Zurich 😀. rubyonrails.org/2025/12/17/m...
