Sidekiq has a TUI now: https://www.mikeperham.com/2026/03/10/sidekiq-in-the-terminal

I've been helping build it!

#ruby

My world is shattered.

For years I've told coworkers who write RSpec blocks with `describe ".some_class_method"` to instead use "`describe "::some_class_method`" (with a double colon instead of a dot).

But today, I discovered that RSpec itself uses the dot notation for describing class methods: https://github.com/rspec/rspec/blob/main/rspec-core/spec/rspec/core_spec.rb#L76-L160

So here is my public apology to everyone affected by my misguided pedantry.

#ruby

I'm quitting Audible. I was convinced by Cory Doctorow's book Enshittification.

I only ever sign up for the 3 months per year of them luring me back at $8/month, but now I won't even do that anymore.

Instead I'll use https://libro.fm. They're DRM-free, they support indie bookshops, and they're not Amazon!

@esparta@ruby.social This :: isn't actual Ruby syntax, it's just in the string after RSpec's describe. But I thought it should be :: because that's how class methods are denoted in Ruby docs.

Or add a REPL command/method:

In .pryrc:

Pry::Commands.block_command "cp", "Copy last command to clipboard" do
  IO.popen("pbcopy", "w") { |cb| cb.write(pry_instance.input_array.last) }
end

In .irbrc:

def cp
  IO.popen("pbcopy", "w") { |cb| cb.write(Reline::HISTORY[-2]) }
end

@TALlama@mastodon.social That's neat! Unfortunately it copies the inspected value rather than the raw output, so when I paste into my editor I get e.g. "def some_method(a)\n puts a\nend" rather than:

def some_method(a)
  puts a
end

Still, copy and paste could come in handy.
