Thanks for the kind words, Rich, but Ryan Davis is responsible for Hoe. I’m just a happy user of the tool. I know that the software that I’ve written has had an impact on the Ruby community (the fact that I’m required to have MFA on RubyGems is proof of that), but I don’t think that any of them have been nearly as impactful as either Hoe or Rake.

I do miss Jim, quite a bit.

So many wonderful memories of Jim!

I have been using Ruby on a nearly daily basis for the last two decades. I still love this language and enjoy the community. Like all communities, none are perfect (and should work to be better), but on balance we are good. Hoe is a great tool. Thank you Austin.

MINISWAN is right. As is respecting your elders. I had dinner one time with Jim and I’ll always remember it; there are four celebrity moments I’ve had in my career, and Jim is the second.

I always had the greatest respect for Jim, although despite the difference in our hair colors back then he was actually MY junior.  Back then the only person who attended Ruby conferences and was older than I, was Monty Williams from Gemstone.
