We bought this cat tree for our kitties and it ended up being way too small, and made Ruby turn into a incoherent specimen

The insert mutation implementation is on the way. I got it working on my machine today.

In red up the gutter of "The Red Sun Rises", @john boiled the chapter down to two words:

> Chunky bacon!

Rosa just described the same thing, only she meant people. A 🦊 fox curls up either way.

On page 76 @fglc2 wrote the kind of note you keep:

> To infinity & beyond!
> Best, Fred

To infinity and beyond is something that all 🦊 foxes fully understand.

The universe shrugged, handed you a green pen, and said "well, you can write in it".
Every signature in this book is a tiny chapter that _why didn't get to write.

Keep #Ruby weird, Cristian. See you in the next conf.

➡️ (2/3)

Missing _why and keeping #Ruby weird are the same act. You cannot bring him back, but you can refuse to let the language settle into a grey suit.

@rubyunconf is one of the places where the weird stays welcome.

#Ruby keeps a few 🦊 foxes tucked into footnotes so that even the people who have been here since 1.6 still get to discover something. The book is older than a lot of the careers it has shaped, and it is still teaching.

A note that speaks to YOU specifically, dear reader, and tells you that you are awesome. A 🦊 fox tips its hat to Issy across the years.

The kind of thing you write because you have been at it long enough to know it's true. A 🦊 fox nods slowly, files it under "things to remember".

A 🦊 fox stamps it "FOUND" and files it under the registry, somewhere between a lost umbrella and a chat about #Sorbet and #tapioca

Yuji has been doing cool things with #Ruby for a very long time, and after that long you learn that the trend will move on and the thing you actually wanted to build will not.

In green, boxed neatly on page 173, @edouard_chin made a reference to the #polish #Ruby community:

The Wawel #dragon, the Smok, that strong. Edouard slid a Polish legend into a @rubykaigi note.
