How to keep up with Ruby: 8 people to follow on Github

It sucks to implement something and later find out there’s an open source version.

But who has time to spend all day looking at every single repo on github?

There are a few people on Github who are great at keeping up with all the new repos. By following them, and taking a quick look at the repos that they watch, you can get a good idea of what’s coming up, and what’s available.

Scott Taylor

Trevor Turk

Pat Nakajima

Dr Nic Williams

Ilya Grigorik

Joshua Hull

hopefully me as well

By following these people, I’ve been able to pretty easily keep abreast of what stuff is new/cool/useful in Ruby and Rails.

  1. Joshua Hull says:

    Hey Mischa, thanks! Actually, I've got something highly sneaky and awesome up my sleeve. (Actually, I've got about 8 things up my sleeve, just wish I had more time to write code)

    I'm gonna go follow all those other people now (if I'm not already)

  2. Mischa says:

    @josh Looks like you were already following everyone!

    Looking forward to whatever you're talking about releasing soon.
