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.

Apple Photos App Corrupts ImagesThe Apple Photos app sometimes corrupts images when importing from my camera. I just wanted to make a blog post about it in case anyone else runs into the problem. I’ve seen other references to this online, but most of the people gave up trying to fix it, and none of them went as far as I did to debug the issue. I’ll try to describe the problem, and the things I’ve tried to do to fix it. But also note that I’ve (sort of) given up on the Photos app too.

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

rv, a new kind of Ruby management toolFor the last ten years or so of working on Bundler, I’ve had a wish rattling around: I want a better dependency manager. It doesn’t just manage your gems, it manages your ruby versions, too. It doesn’t just manage your ruby versions, it installs pre-compiled rubies so you don’t have to wait for ruby to compile from source every time. And more than all of that, it makes it completely trivial to run any script or tool written in ruby, even if that script or tool needs a different ruby than your... 2025-08-25T23:21:07-0700 André.Arko.net André Arko 1,000 words Rated 2025-08-26T16:18:14-0700

States rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travelRoad safety activists and some states are pushing to depart from a longstanding rule that sets speed limits in the United States based largely on how fast drivers actually travel. This is due to the 85% rule, which ties speed limits to the speed of the 15th-fastest vehicle out of every 100 traveling a road in ideal conditions. Critics say this approach encourages speeding. Ohio is among the states considering new guidelines that focus more on safety. But supporters of the rule say it provides... #Activism #Business #California #North Dakota #Ohio #Politics #Texas #Washington #Wisconsin 2025-08-16T21:00:54-0700 AP News https://apnews.com/author/jeff-mcmurray 2,000 words Rated 2025-08-19T16:57:43-0700
