## From the post on ruby.social

So @adamwiggins left a note in the 📔 book

Heroku and #Ruby go together like foxes and cleverness. Did you know #Heroku was born as a Ruby platform? In the early days, it was only for #Rubyists, #Rails and #gems, blocks & foxes, all running wild in the cloud.

So when Adam says “Keep up the Ruby-ing!” he’s really saying:
Let your gems sparkle, and remember that every Heroku #dyno is just a little fox,
waiting to carry your dreams into the cloud.
