I'm very happy to announce that Programming Ruby 3.2, the fifth edition of the Pickaxe Book, is now available in beta at pragprog.com/titles/ruby5/pr….
It covers Ruby up to and including the not-yet-released Ruby 3.2.
A thread of information about the book:
/1
For some mysterious reason, the #pickaxe book, Programming Ruby 3.3, is on sale at Amazon for about 20% off -- amzn.to/3U2dsVR. No idea how long this will last…

I didn't realize this was out, but I'm on episode 441 of @_bikeshed (bikeshed.thoughtbot.com/441) talking about the Pickaxe book, static typing blog posts, book covers, and more…

Hey folks! I've been making videos for programmers for 12 years, but through a combo of "being a marketing dumbass" and focusing on content for my paid subscribers, my YouTube channel has never had many followers. But I do regularly add free videos to it! youtube.com/@gracefuldev

Looking forward to this series continuation!
P.S. “The cost of static typing “ section is a must-read.

Speaking as someone with some personal experience, you can also just... accept your kids and treat them as human beings and (shocking, I know) they'll continue to want you around them
Y'all this guy is a sociopath and he should not be in charge of even a pizza hut
JUST IN: Elon Musk says his son is "dead" thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to "destroy the woke mind virus after that."

"I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys... This was before I had really any understanding of what was going on."
"There was a lot of confusion and you know, I was told, oh he might commit su*cide..."
"My son Xavier is dead, k*lled by the woke mind virus."
"I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that... and we are making some progress."

Ruby is endless… and since v3, so are its methods! In this third installment of @noelrap’s series on modern Ruby features, you’ll learn about a shorthand syntax for small methods. More importantly, you’ll learn some guidelines about when to use it, and when to avoid it!

Brand New in Beta: Rails Scales!
Rails doesn’t scale, say the naysayers. They’re wrong. Ruby on Rails runs some of the biggest sites in the world. This book reveals how they do it, and how you can apply the same techniques to your applications.

I'm so glad you asked! This year I'm teaming up with @ChrisFerdinandi to deliver an amazing backend/frontend bundle: graceful.dev/membership/birt…
If you like or want more static typing in #ruby, what do you consider the strongest arguments in favor of it:
* Better editor tooling
* Pre-execution code validation
* Runtime data validation
* Possible performance improvements
* Communication
Something else?
We had a great meetup in the Chime Chicago offices last night for @MadisonRuby and @rubyconf!
Thanks to @jremsikjr for organizing, @i_ribon9 for presenting, and the entire Chime facilities staff for making it happen!

Someone in our Ruby on Rails Chile Discord asked where we get our good practices or design patterns in Rails from? Books, articles, etc...
Some great recommendations came up!
Books:
- Agile Web Development with Rails (by @duncan)
- Programming Ruby 3.3 (aka the Pickaxe Book) (by @noelrap)
- High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails (by @andatki)
I added these:
- The Well-Grounded Rubyist, Third Edition (by @jleo3)
- Layered Design for Ruby on Rails Applications (by @palkan_tula)
Besides all that, it's good to stay within the Rails ecosystem to constantly immerse yourself in the community.
Podcasts:
- Ruby Rogues @rubyrogues (by @cmaxw, @thecodenamev)
- Remote Ruby @remote_ruby (by @jasoncharnes, @excid3, @andrewmcodes)
The Bike Shed @_bikeshed (by @joelquen & Stephanie Minn from @thoughtbot)
Tutorials:
- Gorails @GoRails (also join their discord)
- DriftingRuby @DriftingRuby
Any other suggestions? Post them in this thread.
This will feature a talk from @i_ribon9! Hope to see you there...
