Hey, the Pickaxe Book (print edition) is still on sale at Amazon (US) -- https://amzn.to/4gYbTSK -- I have no idea how long this will last...

I'm trying to expand the example in https://noelrappin.com/blog/2024/08/what-about-static-typing-in-ruby/ a bit for my upcoming RubyConf workshop...

And I'm realizing that almost anything I do to add even a tiny bit of logic to it will cause it to fail before it gets to the end -- almost anything I do will want to use a User object and if the incoming type is wrong that’s likely to fast-fail sort of incidentally.

Need to rework the example a bit, I think.

For some mysterious reason, the #pickaxe book, Programming Ruby 3.3 is on sale at Amazon for about 20% off -- https://amzn.to/3U2dsVR. No idea how long this will last…

Anybody else seeing an issue in recent versions of Bundler where doing an update causes the lockfile entry for public gems to incorrectly move to a private source?

Quick reminder that I'll be at the SF Bay Area Ruby Meetup next Thursday (10/10) at Chime HQ, along with @keystonelemur and Vladimir Dementyev of @evilmartians.

I'd love to see you there!

Do I know somebody out there who is a Ruby and Golang expert?

I didn't realize this was out, but I'm on episode 441 of The Bike Shed Podcast (https://bikeshed.thoughtbot.com/441) with Joël and Stephanie, talking about the Pickaxe book, static typing blog posts, book covers, and more…

Join me for the SF Bay Area Ruby Meetup on October 10 at Chime HQ in San Francisco!

A new post, extending the previous one and talking about how I might use dynamic types in Ruby to solve a static typing problem.

It's long. I hope it's good.
