A Ruby open-source sabbatical | Rails at Scale

05-Jul-2025 14
I wanted to share a bit about the first part of my Ruby open-source sabbatical experience here at Shopify! There don’t seem to be nouns or verbs for someone doing a sabbatical, so I’m coining the terms sabbatical-er and sabbatical-ing for the rest of this post. A bit about me (a sabbatical-er) My name is Sid, and I’m currently doing a Ruby open-source sabbatical at Shopify on the Ruby Developer Experience team (aka Team Ruby DX). I’ve primarily worked on web applications using Rails and React for the past 6+ years building Shopify Collabs. I’m a proud Ruby developer and am increasingly appreciative of the Ruby community both here at the company and beyond.
