Ruby tip:

class Foo
def self.value
@value ||= defined?(super) ? super : DEFAULT_VALUE
end
end

this will turn Foo.value into a value you can configure per class (with a default), and you'll automatically inherit the superclass' value

I was initially skeptical to another code loader, but Zeitwerk is actually very very nice: https://github.com/fxn/zeitwerk. it's based on Ruby's built-in autoload (as opposed to const_missing) so constant resolution works as expected

I am a software developer, my favourite programming languages are Ruby and C++.

I also love Scholasticism philosophy and video-games.

I’ve written up a comprehensive overview of the new function composition operators introduced in Ruby 2.6: “A Guide to Function Composition in Ruby”, https://www.ghostcassette.com/function-composition-in-ruby/

#introductions Hi, I'm Rui from Portugal, Rubyist, working with RoR, React/Vuejs and getting into Elixir/Phoenix. I also teach web development at Le Wagon bootcamps around the world 👋

New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.

Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.

It will take some work.

If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.

Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

#introductions Hopefully this works alright! 🙋‍♂️

So, I am Tarek, Rubyist, Engineer, ex-Intercom, living in Dublin, Ireland. Would love to see how this plays out connecting to Rubyists all around 🌍

Dear Ruby devs and game devs. I have a crazy announcement I want to share. Please boost.

Last week I released A Dark Room to the Nintendo Switch. Within the game, I also shipped a Ruby interpreter and a code editor as an Easter Egg.

*This Easter Egg effectively turns every consumer spec-ed Nintendo Switch into a Ruby Machine.*

1. Download A Dark Room from the US/EU.
2. Connect a USB keyboard and press the “~” key.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

#ruby #gamedev #nintendo

Oh snap. What's that? https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/a-dark-room-switch/

PS: It's made with #ruby

I’m available for software development work. Looking for contract, max 4 days/week, mostly remote, not socially destructive. Ruby/Elixir/Scheme/anything else within reason. All leads gratefully received!

Hanami 2.0 Preview presentation:

I must say I'm very impressed by @ioquatix's work on the async gems:

#introductions Hi all, my name is Rodrigo and I've been developing with Ruby for 4 years now.
Lately I've been using Hanami at work and in some personal projects, but I really want to get back to develop some stuff with Rails again.
