Highlights from the 94 edition of Short Ruby Newsletter:

Launches: DHH launched Omakub; while not about Ruby, it is a great way to experience web development on Linux.

Discounts: There are a couple of discounts that are still available this week: 30% off RailsCamp tickets, 40% off Sandi Metz Practical Object Oriented Design, 50% off Pragmatic Programmers titles about Ruby and Rails, The Rail 7 Way discounted with almost 40%.

Events: Ruby Conf opened the CFP, EuRuko announced the affordable ticket prices, Ruby Retreat tickets are on sale, and the African Ruby Community announced Matz will join as the keynote speaker.

Code: See the YJIT improvements at Zendesk, an implementation of a Concern object, a series of frontend Stimulus components, a discussion about Active Record moving toward using one DB connection per query, and this is just a tiny part of all code samples that you can discover and learn in the newsletter.

Code Design: Ufuk explains how they implemented fast auto-formatting in Ruby LSP, Irina shared how to use Inertia with React and Rails, and Rosa shared that SolidQueue has a plan to support dynamic cron-style jobs.

Why choose Ruby and Rails has many reasons to join our community. And is it me, or are people coming back to Rails?

Libraries and tools: Discover a new gem implementing Pagefind in Sitepress and code that will calculate the most common cancellation reasons from Stripe, along with multiple gems and library updates.

Keep an eye on the PR merged to Ruby by Maxime about implementing a cache for recently encoded/decoded contexts and on the feature request by Kevin to make Prism the default parser for Ruby.

And, of course, there is so much more: articles, podcasts, videos, newsletters, how-tos, and deep dives.
