"If the advisor has to initiate, you've already lost."
Freedom Dumlao, our Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer, recently sat down with James Rogers at @investmentnews as part of our 5-Star Technology Award recognition. He talks about Vestmark Pulse, modernizing the engine while the car is running, and why personalization stopped being something firms reserve for the top of their book.
Worth the watch, especially if you are thinking about where AI actually belongs in your firm's day-to-day.

Ruby has always been more than syntax. It’s a way of thinking about software that keeps humans in the loop, especially as systems grow more automated.

I am running interviews of founders who chose Ruby in recent years (2022+) now for the third year. I ask 3 questions: why Ruby, what’s good, what’s bad/missing, and share the findings with the Ruby community globally in talks and keynotes. Who should I talk to this time?
Freedom Dumlao retweeted
I had the famous @JasonSwett on the latest episode of the podcast to discuss the upcoming @rubyconf in Las Vegas, of which he is the co-chair (with @APIguy)
We talked about how he is shaping the conference, making it friendly for old and new devs, and why off-strip Las Vegas is a great choice for venue!
Always a great conversation!

Alongside the Ruby 4.0 release last week, I published charm-ruby over Christmas, bringing @charmcli's excellent terminal UI libraries to Ruby.
A full TUI framework, reusable components, styled output, forms, markdown rendering, spinners, charts, and a lot more!

Excited to hear that the next Ruby Conf has been announced; July 14–16, 2026 in Las Vegas! Co-chairs are @APIguy and @JasonSwett - awesome choice for what should be a great event!
Who's planning to go?
Freedom Dumlao retweeted
Last week we got to catch up with the one and only @APIguy, and of course he took us to a super bougie spot!
Can’t wait to hang out more at @sfrubyconf next month. Might be even better views than this. 👀🌁 #RubyFriends

Love this: Ruby core taking stewardship of RubyGems/Bundler while keeping Ruby Central in the mix. No license changes, no contributor drama.
THIS is how you do open source governance right.
Thanks @yukihiro_matz ruby-lang.org/en/news/2025/1…
