Ruby Weekly
Issue 343 — April 6, 2017

It's with great sadness I dedicate this issue to Jason Seifer, a popular member of the Ruby community who died last weekend. You may have known him as a Ruby trainer, as DJ Ango, from his famed 2007 'Rails vs' videos, or from the many podcasts he did. He'll be missed.
