@headius Wow that's wild. I can assure you that did not happen for SF Ruby - we all very much respect your work and think JRuby is awesome 💚

Hi @drummer, @tian_zhi_chen, @imohitbhatia, and @kyeung_ 👋 Sorry for the cold outreach. I'm the sole maintainer of https://t.co/aYWGxQ3qr7 but I lost my access to the repo recently without explanation. Is this something you can help me with? Thanks in advance!

@andrewculver @palkan_tula React is great, and so is inertia, but I don't think they are the future of the Rails front-end.

I've been trying to promote LiveComponent as a React antidote instead:

@excid3 @remote_ruby @andrewmcodes Sweet! Looking forward to it!

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

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!

@schwabsauce @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github I see the allure, and perhaps when the dust settles GitHub will have an app that its hundreds of engineers can more easily contribute to.

I also wonder about the many things the company could have built instead, and all the existing systems they could have maintained better.

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

@schwabsauce @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github Because that's what ended up happening. GitHub isn't just rewriting small bits and pieces, they're rewriting huge swaths of the site. Issues and pull requests were the biggest two in-progress I knew about before I was laid off earlier this year.

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

@schwabsauce @bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github Why unsympathetic?

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

@bradgessler @github Right. Frameworkism, especially on the front-end, isn't delivering. As Alex Russell says, the answer isn't a new framwork; it's the courage to do engineering.

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

@bradgessler @lucianghinda @mscccc @jaredpalmer @github I wrote up my thoughts on that a few years ago https://t.co/FdPktto0My

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

Hey @kodykendall, I've tried to email you a few times over the last week or so about speaking at the SF Ruby Meetup coming up this Tuesday 9/30. Please let me know if you're available!

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

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

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??

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

@keithschacht Finally, convincing people to switch to another templating language is always a tough sell. For example, the tooling around ERB, Slim, HAML, etc is way better than Rux. But also, all you really get from it is nicer-looking templates. Most people don't care.

[Cameron Dutro @camertron]

@keithschacht Some additional thoughts in no particular order:

1. I have some local changes I've been meaning to push up.
2. I'm working on another project that uses Rux.
3. Rux works (at least in dev) by monkeypatching Ruby internals, which always made me hesitant to recommend it.
