    Great news, everyone! This year's "State of CIDER" survey is out! (see docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…) Please, take the time to share there how you're using CIDER, so we can make it even better! I'd appreciate it if you shared the survey around, so we can get as much input as possible

    My hometown of Veliko Tarnavo (the former capital of Bulgaria) had a beautiful show of support for the people of Ukraine tonight. Stay strong and stay safe, my dear friends! #StandWithUkriane

    I jotted down a few thoughts on current situation around RuboCop's name here github.com/rubocop-hq/rub… I haven't felt so disappointed and depressed in a while and I'm seriously wondering whether I want to be a part of a community that attacks people in such a way.

    I've distilled my thoughts on the RuboCop rename drama (RuboDrama?) in a blog post metaredux.com/posts/2020/06/… I hope we can put yesterday's negativity behind us and move on. I also hope we can show the Ruby community's better (real?) side going forward.

    By the age of 35 you should have realized that Emacs is the One True Editor and should have embraced it. If that’s not the case - your life so far has been completely wasted.

    I’m back! Over a decade has passed since I bid farewell to my final desktop and I sold my soul to Apple. Seems I still can assemble a PC and I’m running GNU/Linux again. Fun times ahead!

    This week me and my wife helped two Ukrainian families, fleeing from the war, to find homes in Sofia. I know it's not much in the grand scheme of things, but it made a big difference for them and for us (it's nice to be able to help).
