Rails World: A New Conference in 2023

Conference season is upon us! There have been many announcements as of late about conference dates and CFPs but one of the most buzzworthy for us is Rails World.

Ruby 3.2.2 Released

Ruby 3.2.2 was released at the end of last month. There's nothing super shiny in this release but there are some important security fixes in the Time and URI classes that you'll want to get in ASAP.

Next.js Version 13.3 Released

This release is all about community-requested features! Four main improvements are described in the release notes such as the ability to dynamically generate sitemaps and Open Graph images.
