Bundler belongs to the Ruby communityI’ve spent 15 years of my life working on Bundler. When I introduce myself, people say “oh, the Bundler guy?”, and I am forced to agree. I didn’t come up with the original idea for Bundler (that was Yehuda). I also didn’t work on the first six months worth of prototypes. That was all Carl and Yehuda together, back when “Carlhuda” was a super-prolific author of Ruby libraries, including most of the work to modularize Rails for version 3. 2025-09-24T22:16:51-0700 André.Arko.net André Arko 1,000 words Rated 2025-09-25T07:32:38-0700 |

Together: The Merb StoryI'll never forget the day that I became a member of the Rails core team. For all of 2008 (and the better part of 2007), I was working on a competitor to Ruby on Rails called Merb. I loved Merb, and was excited to share it with anyone who'd listen, so when I attended RailsConf in 2008, I signed up to give a nighttime Birds of a Feather session about Merb. To be honest, I expected only a handful of people to show up, but I was too excited to let that stop me.

Rails on SQLite: exciting new ways to cause outagesThis post was originally given as a talk for Friendly.rb. The slides are also available. Between Litestack and the Rails 8 trifecta of Solid Cable, Solid Cache, and Solid Queue, it’s easier than ever to spin up a Rails app that doesn’t need a database service, or a redis service, or a file storage service. It’s great to simplify things, but even after 20 years of deploying Rails apps I was still caught out by some of the ways things are different. 2025-09-11T08:29:51-0700 André.Arko.net André Arko 3,000 words Rated 2025-09-11T21:12:12-0700 |
