I'm reluctant to admit that I'm loving #ruby over #smalltalk. I still have hopes of reentering the community. However, at this stage, my energies are elsewhere.
Lately, I've been trying to learn more about: #blockchain development, #aws, and #rustlang. In addition to learning more #JavaScript & #emberjs. #ContinousLearner
Ok - all my other Mastodon accounts lead here! Thanks @phaedryx
Oh, my lack of tact forces me to say: I started my professional career as a Smalltalk developer. And I find most languages dreadful, Ruby being the exception. 😄
Thanks for setting up this mastodon instance!
My first RoR app was back in 2005, but I've been exclusive RoR since 2008.
I've been working with Ruby (and Rails) for almost 14 years. A few old folks might remember me from http://www.robbyonrails.com/ (and some know me from creating @ohmyzsh).
During the week, I run Planet Argon... we help companies who have already made a deep investment into Ruby on Rails with ongoing support/upgrades/maintenance. https://www.planetargon.com/
p.s. you may have seen this photo I took, too. (Canada on Rails, April 2006)
