What I wrote this week about Ruby

In the last month or so, I have only had a little time to write an article about Ruby, but I have shared some posts online. I still shared various technical posts online; I did not have time to expand them into a more extensive/deeper article.

It could be interesting to make a weekly summary of everything I write online each week. This would be an exercise in looking back and reviewing what I wrote about.

Monday: Short Ruby Newsletter - edition 113

My week started (as it always starts) with publishing the Short Ruby Newsletter on Monday: https://newsletter.shortruby.com/p/edition-113

Tuesday: Three Ruby Links #8

I followed up on Tuesday with another series that I am starting that I call “Three Ruby Links”: https://newsletter.shortruby.com/p/three-ruby-links-8

Tuesday: Choosing between a normal if and a modifier

Also, on Tuesday, I wrote a thread about Choosing between if and a modifier. I published this thread on all platforms, but there is also a written version of it: https://notes.ghinda.com/post/choosing-between-if-and-a-modifier

Thursday: My first contribution to ruby-lang.org was merged

On Thursday, I shared the importance of contributing to Ruby's documentation, and I wanted to show that even a small contribution can help. Thus, I showed a small PR I submitted for the ruby-lang.org website:

Friday: Script to display VCR body using jq

On Friday, I wrote a thread about a script that I am using to display the body of a VCR cassette directly in the command line using a super useful linux utility called jq: https://notes.ghinda.com/post/script-to-display-vcr-body-using-jq
