## Community message

> Always be Ruby-friending!

So says Sarah Mei.

## From the post on ruby.social

On page 68 @sarahmei wrote a gentle reminder:

The foxes are nodding at each other,
swapping #gems like trading cards,
and every `def` feels like an invitation to 🍵 tea.

Ruby-friending isn't just about #code.
It's about the conversations in the hallway,
the debugging sessions that turn into laughter,
and the quiet moment when someone says "I get it now".

Every #Ruby #friend you make is another fox joining the den.
