As #RailsConf 2025 nears, we look back to when DNSimple was featured in @rubycentral.org Newsletter!
Proud milestone for us, highlighting how #Ruby and #Rails have been essential to our growth from our early days to becoming a trusted domain management solution.

It's also become clear to me that legacy #programming organizations by and large are wildly unprepared to serve your best interests by standing up to Big Tech, because duh, they are *funded* by Big Tech. Is an org sponsored by Shopify going to protect you from the harms perpetuated by Shopify? Lol, nope.
Open source also won't save you. In many ways, it created the problem.
We need *entirely new cooperatives*, based on real ethical principles and not crony capitalism.
Welp, #Ruby just can't quit #Rails. Or the corporate sponsorship dollars which are totally "ick" you might say.
The problem with niche markets—like Ruby—is if you don't stand on moral principles and core values, uh, what is the actual point? I can just pivot to TypeScript and be in the programming mainstream, messy and regularly unethical as it is.
Ruby as a community has lost all appeal. MINASWAN is nostalgia, not present reality. You can have your DHH and your AI!
I'll have no part of it.
We're beyond thrilled to be featured in the Ruby Central Newsletter!
This spotlight highlights how #Ruby and #Rails have been instrumental in our growth and success. From our humble beginnings at #RubyConf 2010 to becoming a leading domain management solution

Now @thomascountz is giving a talk "From #Legacy to Latest: How #Zendesk Upgraded a #Monolith to #Rails 8.0 Overnight" at #rubycommunityconference.
Also, it's not very obvious in the photo but the slides have an amazing console #ASCII style.

One thing I've really enjoyed while building https://letsjelly.com is working on a clean #Rails & #Stimulus stack.
I was worried for a while that not learning #React was going to end up biting me, but I've found Stimulus to be both easy to get into, and a powerful way to reuse JS around and between projects.
What are you building with rails?

I guess what I need is a main marketing page, an events page, maybe a photos page, a couple other mostly static, a music/videos page. It’s not that crazy but I also feel like it turns into me building a full CMS pretty quickly, which if there’s a ready-made solution out, there might be better. #Rails
Looking at the various website making tools out there.
Squarespace feels like the most complete, but at the same time, has always felt like it has some flaw in the current version. Currently, you can’t change themes once you’ve picked one.
Need to look at Bandzoogle more. I’ve never tried Wix, but maybe that? Maybe I just end up making my own custom thing with #Rails? It just feels like overkill for what I need.

Il nous faut la même chose en France, même si c'est à la place des autoroutes.
Ben oui, si c'est pour être payant, autant en avoir pour son argent !
S'il peuvent le faire en suisse, nous aussi !
Sauf que eux ne votent pas pour des connards qui préfèrent autoriser les "super-poid-lourds" que d'investir dans les transports publiques !
#rails people, what am I doing wrong? Every time I set up #capistrano, I seem to screw this part up.
It gets to "deploy:assets:precompile", fails, and throws this error: "cssbundling-rails: Command install failed, ensure yarn is installed". Yarn is most definitely installed, so I'm not sure where to go next.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
