Fascinating post about tuning memory usage with Ruby apps: https://www.joyfulbikeshedding.com/blog/2019-03-14-what-causes-ruby-memory-bloat.html

You know you're getting old when you find yourself wishing that RubyGems weren't always named using puns...

I put it in a file called `~/bin/test-diff` and mark it as executable.

A script to run tests changed since master, pretty handy when checking PRs:

test_runner = File.exists?("Gemfile") ? "bundle exec " : ""
test_runner += if File.exists?("config/application.rb")
"rails test"
elsif File.directory?("spec")
"rspec"
elsif File.directory?("test")
"ruby -Itest"
else
"ruby"
end
changed_test_files = `git log --name-only --pretty=oneline --full-index master..HEAD`.split.select { |f| f =~ /\Atest|spec/ }
exec "#{test_runner} #{changed_test_files.join(' ')}"

A couple of great talks from #RubyConfAU (amazing that they're up so quick, too!)

Ten years ago, I sat around a fire with some friends after a disappointing big-budget conference, and decided to see if we could do something different. From that seed grew Ruby Manor -- can't believe we've been doing it for a decade!

For the first time in quite a while, I wrote a non-conference-talk-transcript blog post! I wanted to share a little about the text editor I’ve been using, and gather a few things together that I wish I’d known when I picked it up.

Lovely talk by @tekin about the benefits of investing time in keeping a clean and useful #git history, particularly the tips at the end.
