⚙️ Building a better Ruby ORM for time series and analytics
The following code snippet highlights the real-life use case that inspired me to build a continuous aggregates macro for better time-series data aggregations. It’s part of a RubyGems contribution I made, and it’s still a work in progress. However, it’s worth validating how this idea can reduce the Ruby code you’ll have to maintain.

RubyGems now requires MFA for owners of top gems

Making popular Ruby packages more secure
RubyGems does have gem signing, but it's not widely used.
There's a proposal for a new "one button" approach using sigstore[0].
Other ecosystems are also looking at sigstore too, and a lot of us are cooperating in the OpenSSF Securing Software Repos WG [1]. Package signing is a regular topic of discussion and there are various efforts underway.
Disclosure: I am involved with both of these.
