A small contribution to OpenAI’s Ruby API client from yours truly was just merged.
It adds the required cgi gem dependency, which is no longer part of the stdlib in Ruby 4. It also expands CI to cover all supported Ruby versions to help prevent future issues like this.
Stepped Actions was featured in Ruby Weekly #782. Thanks for the mention and for helping more Rubyists find the project.
I just released Stepped Actions, a Rails engine for orchestrating complex workflows as a tree of persisted actions that run through Active Job. It’s extracted out of Envirobly and battle tested in it’s current form for over a year.
At the moment, Kamal doesn’t support IPv6 out of the box. Meaning your containers won’t be able to reach IPv6 hosts at all. IPv6 support is expanding, and on some of my projects, I need such connectivity. Taking Kamal for a ride, I’ve run into this issue and had to solve it.
Envirobly.com is a startup I solo founded and launched in October 2025. It’s a culmination of an intense 3 year work, crafting a platform to deploy web applications to, while keeping the costs manageable.
It runs the full lifecycle of application infrastructure on AWS. It connects to a customer’s AWS account, lays down regional foundations (VPC, NAT, Traefik gateways, Route53 DNS, Managed Prometheus), and lets teams ship services, databases, and gateways with zero-downtime deploys, live logs and metrics.
I’ve been running into issues, like intermittent crashes, with guard, which is a favorite amongst Rubyists, when it comes to automatically running unit tests on a file change. I’ve decided it would be a fun exercise to create my own tool, addressing my needs specifically:
On my Intel iMac on macOS Ventura 13.4 I ran into this annoying issue when reinstalling the same version of Ruby (3.2.2 for example) with rbenv. When running rails test:system the firewall’s “Accept incoming connections” dialog would pop every time, no matter whether you Denied or Allowed the connection to go through previously, making testing quite painful.
I just noticed that on the latest MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 with Safari 16.4, the navigator.clipboard API is not accessible under plain HTTP .test domains, used with puma-dev for example. It returns “property is undefined” type of error.
The bin/dev script Ruby on Rails ships with, if you for example init the app with --css=tailwind or --css=bootstrap is great. It comes with auto-generated Procfile that will launch the web server and the Tailwind CSS (or other) preprocessors. In addition bin/dev will install the foreman gem if it does not exist on your system.
