I hope to see many of you at #rubyconf in Chicago next week.

Chime is a sponsor, not just of the conference as a whole, but also of the scholarship program.

We have a sponsor session, and members of Chime's "I Heart Ruby" team will talk about how we support our Ruby devs.

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.

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?
