Since this comes up often: IMO the rule of thumb for whether or not you should yank a gem release is: don't.
Two exceptions:

- Legal reasons (e.g. copyright, etc).

Having this sort of tool available in such a freeform language is so cool! I love the casual flexibility of Ruby and Just A Text Editor, but there are still those times that the grass looks pretty green in statically-typed+IDE land.
Here's a great example of why our new referral gem is super neato. I wanted to see how to instantiate Webpacker's `Manifest`. git-grep produced a bunch of unhelpful matches (image 1), whereas referral found its one-and-only call site (image 2).

Excellent point! So far that information only made it into my #rubykaigi presentation 😅
I've just thrown the relevant slides up... even without my words, they probably answer some questions. I'll definitely add a proper explanation to docs ASAP, though.

I really, really appreciate people like @dwradcliffe who devote time to keeping the lights on while everyone else is relaxing and you should, too. 🙇🏼 xitter.cf/rubygems_status/status…

I know it’s a Hard problem; I wouldn’t mind Bundler taking 6+ minutes “Resolving dependencies”… if it was actually using some CPU. 😴

Your monolith is not the enemy. The years of technical debt, refusal to use the tools correctly, and writing "clever" code is the problem.
