Okay, sports fans, I've restored 4.3.9 on my private server. Yay!
The problem was that I had updated ruby. That caused local extensions to not be found. The solution was to do this:
gem pristine --all
and enjoy a cup of coffee. The errors stopped, everything was happy again, & I restarted the servers.
I'll pin this one on both servers for a while to spread the solution for "Source locally installed gems is ignoring [whatever] because it is missing extensions."
I got laid off today. Eek!
I am looking for a role as a staff software engineer (backend focus) working on high-volume large-scale distributed systems.
Some keywords: backend / Ruby / Ruby on Rails / Go (Golang) / AWS / Terraform / frontend / TypeScript / React / full-time / remote-first
Some more details on what I offer here: https://denisdefreyne.com/notes/get-me-a-job-2025/
