I'm so hyped as we get closer & closer to the Christmas Day release of Ruby 3.2. Actually, there are so many great things in 3.2 that we couldn't wait for release day, but already deployed it for all Shopify storefront requests. Allow me to do a deep dive on all the details 🧵

All storefront requests are now served by the latest version of ruby with YJIT enabled! We are seeing ~10% speedups across the board. YJIT that has been developed by @Love2Code's and team at Shopify.

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.

Over the weekend I became a maintainer of Rubygems.org. 🥳🚀 I'm excited to continue working w/ the community to make this amazing ecosystem even better & more secure. 🎉 Along with this we're launching the first phase of our new MFA policy today 🎉🥳!
RubyGems Status@rubygems_status13 Jun 2022
To better secure RubyGems, today we're introducing a new policy. - Popular gem maintainers will see prompts to enable multi-factor auth. - Starting Aug 15, MFA will be enforced. This move will help us build a safer community inline with other ecosystems. blog.rubygems.org/2022/06/13…

MARIUPOL, Ukraine (AP) — The bodies of the children all lie here, dumped into this narrow trench hastily dug into the frozen earth of Mariupol to the constant drumbeat of shelling.

Gem authors: I'd like to understand more about why you don't use MFA on rubygems.org. Is it because you haven't got around to it? Don't like the extra step to login? Some other reason? Please let me know. (Retweets for reach appreciated).
