I have benchmarked Ruby and graphed the results, including at https://speed.yjit.org. I write at https://codefol.io, where you can get on my email list for free chapters. I wrote Rebuilding Rails, Rebuilding HTTP and Mastering Software Technique.
I live in Inverness, Scotland with my wife, three kids, and two cats.

From a lovely response to the Crowdstrike error and various speculation on what caused it (https://ruby.social/deck/@V0ldek@awful.systems/112824202708490681), comes this gem:
> all modern software lies upon a rotting pile of ancient mistakes.
To be clear: this is 100% true. As we slowly, painfully work our way toward being less awful at software engineering, we are better than we have ever been. As fucked as modern code is, old code was worse.
The lower in the stack you go, the more horrifying the revelations, just as a rule.
