‘No One Lives Forever’ Turns 25 & You Still Can’t Buy It LegitimatelyOne of my favorite things in all of professional sports is the unofficial holiday referred to as "Bobby Bonilla Day."

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 - sethherr

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 - sethherr
