I still get goosebumps thinking about how much work the team put into this over the last few months. You are not ready for what’s coming. 👀

Isn't it epic to work at @circleapp ?
Just wrapped up our 10th offsite in France, with a full buyout of Chateau Le Grand Mello split into two amazing weeks. Highlights: two epic sunset walks, a bonfire, a dungeon, workshops, karaoke, A+ conversations, and a freaking Castle all to ourselves. Heard countless times: “It all just makes sense.”

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! Demos below ⬇️

it's crazy how much reach you get using free reddit versus free twitter. I shared the similar post in twitter (free account, 1300 rubyist followers) and got 2 likes and 65 views. Reddit, 35 comments, 156 upvotes, 20k+ views.

What's stopping you from reading your Rails logs like this in 2025?

Isn’t it EPIC that the company you work for is on every screen in Times Square?
14 years ago, I made my first ever trip to New York City as a tourist from New Zealand. After a month of walking every inch of this city while blasting Jay Z’s “Empire State of Mind”, the city started to seep into my soul. A day before I was supposed to fly back to New Zealand, I got the chance to go in an interview at a young startup, where the founders were kind enough to offer me a job on the spot (thanks Stefan & Michael!) That interview happened in a building near Times Square, and the whole experience was right out of a movie scene. I finally made it to New York City, where I’ve lived for the past decade+, met my wife, became a father, and started a company. Flash forward... I finally made it to New York, where I’ve lived for the past decade+, met my wife, became a father, and started a company. A couple days ago, we took over Times Square with a Circle campaign featuring some of our coolest customers, including Ali Abdaal, Entreprenista, TroopHR, Jay Clouse, Mila, Codecademy, The Running Channel, and Pat Flynn! The theme of the campaign was: “Whatever it is, there’s a Circle for that.” This campaign was our love letter to New York City and our community builders, both of whom make dreams happen for millions of people ❤️

Version 0.5.0 of LogBench has been release, with support for both Sidekiq and ActiveJob !! Now, every log line that is generated inside a job will have a colored prefix with the job class and id, and will be grouped inside the request that originated it.

I installed LogBench over the weekend and I'm sold. It works great. Thank you for your work on this! I'll pitch it at work this week. p.s. Somos el mejor país de Chile.

Just got back from our 9th offsite in stunning Cascais, Portugal 🇵🇹 This was a week I couldn’t dream up even if I tried, for a few reasons: 1) Portugal is the birth place of Circle and where we committed to starting the company almost 6 years ago 2) The team is now 200+ people 3) Portugal is home to my co-founder, Rudy, who played host to the company 4) Every Circle team member I talked to said something to the effect of: "It's the best company I've ever worked for, and I hope our culture stays this way forever." I find it mind blowing that our team feels this way six years in. 5) And finally, because my parents were able to make it to our family farewell dinner. This was the first time they got to meet Circle team members, and were at a loss of words experiencing what we've built. I owe them everything. Thanks mom and dad ❤️

Is there a simple way to propagate Current.request_id down to all ActiveJob s? In sidekiq is as easy as setting Sidekiq::CurrentAttributes.persist("MyApp::Current") and all current attributed are propagated down
