Wicked was featured by Ryan Bates on Railscasts this past week. I’ve learned quite a bit over the years from Railscasts, so it’s a great honor to have my work featured there.
Sorry, Dave, ADHD is real, and (not acknowledging it) can hurt you. Hi. I’m Richard. I’m a Ruby Core Contributor. I also code in Rust, and enjoy giving talks and writing books about How to (Contribute to) Open Source. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30’s. What does it mean that I was “diagnosed” with ADHD?

I’ve spent the last decade+ working on Ruby deploy tooling, including (but not limited to) the Heroku classic and upcoming Cloud Native Buildpack. If you want to contribute to a Ruby deployment or packaging tool (even if it’s not one I maintain), I can help.

I love the power of containers, but I’ve never loved Dockerfile. In this post we’ll build a working OCI image of a Ruby on Rails application that can run locally without the need to write or maintain a Dockerfile.
