I've been playing with the nix package manager, mainly with the intention of using it to setup isolated development environments. I've written up how I used nix-shell to define a Ruby environment for building & serving my personal website locally...

Happy that GitHub have finally seen sense and changed the ordering of commits in pull requests...

I've just realised my positively ancient blog RSS feed is still generated via FeedBurner.

What's the best #indieweb approach for providing a feed these days...?

Thanks in part to inspiration from people on fosstodon.org, I've done some work on indieweb-ifying my personal website.

Hi, everyone. I'm sorry I haven't got round to introducing myself sooner...

I'm a developer at a London-based worker cooperative, Go Free Range (https://gofreerange.com/).

I'm the original author of Mocha (https://mocha.jamesmead.org/), a popular open-source mocking framework for Ruby.

Are there any other Ruby developers on here?
