Hey @phillc 👋 @KenDecanio reached out to you a few days ago via email about sharing your Sidekiq expertise (alongside a few other experts) at @sfrubyconf! Is that something you'd be interested in?
Hey @briancolfer 👋 We received your SF Ruby Meetup proposal and would like to ask you to speak at the upcoming meetup on 10/29!
I've tried to reach out a few times via email without any luck, hoping that X is more effective :)

July's SF Ruby Meetup is now up on YouTube!
This time, we met at @sentry's offices, hosted by @inazarova, with presentations by:
- @camertron from Cisco Meraki and the co-host of these meetups. He presented Garnet.js, a way of implementing the YARV Virtual Machine
- Alexander Baygeldin from Evil Martians. He gave a presentation on orchestrating background jobs in Ruby. It was lovely to have a Martian visit us this time.
- @marcoroth_, creator of Herb and a friend of the house. He talked about the anatomy of an ERB rendering engine.
At the end, we had a round of intros. See the recording here:

Hi @drummer, @tian_zhi_chen, @imohitbhatia, and @kyeung_ 👋 Sorry for the cold outreach. I'm the sole maintainer of github.com/twitter/twitter-c… but I lost my access to the repo recently without explanation. Is this something you can help me with? Thanks in advance!
Hey @remote_ruby, @excid3, and @andrewmcodes 👋 This is always awkward but... what would y'all think about having me on the show to talk about LiveComponent? Thanks for considering!

Starting the May edition of the #SFRuby at @meraki with @camertron and the friendliest group of people ❤️🔥
Yo @joinsimplify! I had to click no less than *449 times* to go back far enough to enter my birthdate. That feels like too many times? Probably should let me use my keyboard #protip
Yo @RavensburgerNA, is it normal to have 65 (!!) duplicate pieces?? They made this already challenging 1000 piece puzzle (Bizarre Bookshop 2) much more difficult.
But more concerning... is there some poor soul out there trying to put together their copy missing 65 pieces??

Hey all, recordings from our last SF Bay Area Ruby Meetup earlier this month at Cisco Meraki are available! Cool talks from Liz Heym from Cisco @meraki, @LukasFittl, @camertron, @specialCaseDev, @yangtheman. Talk descriptions at the link! evilmartians.com/events/sf-b…
Hey @EasyDWH, thanks for try.ruby-lang.org/ 😀
The site downloads ruby.wasm, which is only 3.1mb of transfer. Uncompressed it's only 10mb. The size of ruby.wasm from the releases available at github.com/ruby/ruby.wasm show it to be ~83mb.
How did you get it so small??

SQLite is cracked
ALT SQLite is cracked Fun fact: SQLite is the most deployed and most used database. There are over one trillion (1000000000000 or a million million) SQLite databases in active use. It is maintained by three people. They don’t allow outside contributions. It is everywhere SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined. Billions and billions of copies of SQLite exist in the wild. SQLite is in: Every Mobile (Android, iOS, Windows) device Every Mac or Windows10 machine Every Web browser Every instance of Skype, iTunes, and Dropbox client PHP and Python Most TV, set-top cable boxes and automotive multimedia systems Countless millions of other applications How do they cook? There are over 600 lines of test code for every line of code in SQLite. Tests cover 100% of branches in the library. The test suite is extremely diverse, including fuzz tests, boundary value tests, regression tests, and tests that simulate operating system crashes, power losses, I/O error
Hey @kddnewton, am I remembering correctly that Prism was going to eventually be able to emit YARV byte code, i.e. compile code to YARV? Or is something like that outside the purview of the project?

The todo application. 😅
But, seriously, here's the thing...
When Laravel and Rails developers say "full stack", they mean something totally different than when Next or Remix (React Router?) developers say "full stack".
In Laravel and Rails, it means there are built-in, opinionated solutions to things like validation, interacting with a database, authenticating users, scheduling background work, sending an email.
In Next and Remix, it seems to mean that there is simply the bare ability to run code on the server at all and an advertisement for Clerk. 🙃
From my perspective, Next and others are really, really great at the GET part of web development. Get data from some backend, show it on the page quickly. 👌
They are not mature for POST, PUT, and DELETE, especially when things start getting non-trivial.
And, I don't think this is really unique to Next or a single framework. It's something that seems to pervade current JavaScript as a whole - note the current proliferation of "starter kits" that try to bring some sanity to the full-stack story.
I think this has had actual consequences in the JavaScript ecosystem...
Rails and Laravel were built with the express purpose of allowing a single developer to build the next GitHub... or the next AirBnb... or the next Shopify. Prototyped from beginning to end.
That's what I'm passionate about. Empowering a single developer or small team to build something amazing.
I built the 1.0 of Laravel Forge, Envoyer, Vapor, Spark, and the backend of Nova by myself.
$40M in revenue over 10 years from my home office. That's an empowering tool for a solo founder.
I don't see a full-stack story in JavaScript yet that would allow me to realistically sit down and build something like Forge or Vapor from start to finish. Maybe I'm missing it. 🤷♂️
The MVP start-ups I do see fully built on current JS meta frameworks are much thinner. The stereotypical API call to an AI service. Not much meat on the bones.
Laravel / Rails have been building their modern front end story with Hotwire, Livewire, Inertia, and more... Next and others are building their modern back end story.
Smart people on both sides working on these problems, so I'm confident we'll both get to where we want to go. 💪
