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? Am I simply a speed junkie? What even is ADHD, and why is there so much misinformation and misunderstanding about it? Keep reading to find out.
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. If you want to learn more about Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs) and maybe get a green square on GitHub (or TWO!), keep reading for more resources.
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. You will learn about the Cloud Native Buildpack (CNB) ecosystem, and how to utilize the pack CLI to build images. Let’s get to it!
