🧠 Pluggable Garbage Collectors in Ruby: Exploring the New Modular GC API

February 23, 2026 Ruby has traditionally shipped with a single, built-in garbage collector tightly coupled to the VM. With Ruby 3.4, that assumption begins to change. Feature #20470 introduces an experimental Modular Garbage Collector API, allowing CRuby to load alternative GC implementations at runtime. This marks one of the most significant architectural shifts in Ruby’s … Continue reading 🧠 Pluggable Garbage Collectors in Ruby: Exploring the New Modular GC API →

🌍 Rendering Maps by Name: Symbolic Geographic Extents in Ruby

Working with maps usually means working with numbers — lots of numbers. If you want to render a map of a country, region, or continent, you normally need to know its exact bounding box: bbox = [-73.6, -55.1, -53.6, -21.7] # Argentina Not exactly readable. Not memorable. Not friendly. What if you could just say: … Continue reading 🌍 Rendering Maps by Name: Symbolic Geographic Extents in Ruby →

What Rails Actually Wants: Tidying Controllers and Views Without Service Object Explosion

February 20, 2026 Lessons from RailsTokyo 2026 on using ActiveRecord as a relational engine—not just an ORM Modern Rails teams often inherit a paradox: controllers must be “thin,” views must be “dumb,” models must be “fat,” and yet production apps accumulate service objects, query objects, presenters, decorators, serializers, policies, and helpers until the architecture resembles … Continue reading What Rails Actually Wants: Tidying Controllers and Views Without Service Object Explosion →

Stop Checking admin?: Designing Authorization That Won’t Become Technical Debt (Kaigi on Rails 2025)

February 17, 2026 Modern Rails applications rarely fail because of authentication — they fail because of authorization complexity. As products grow, roles multiply, exceptions accumulate, and permission checks scatter across controllers, models, views, and frontend code. What begins as a simple current_user.admin? quickly becomes an unmaintainable web of implicit rules. At Kaigi on Rails 2025, … Continue reading Stop Checking admin?: Designing Authorization That Won’t Become Technical Debt (Kaigi on Rails 2025) →
