Pro tips aren't about library promotion

A pro tip on pro tips? Yep.

I'm gonna throw up if I read another pro tip that is a blatant promo for someone's pet project. Pet projects are great but, in the context of a pro tip, explain what you solved and why, and then provide a link to use your solution.

atmo, pro tips are for sharing basic knowledge about workflow and development tools, novel ways of solving standard problems, and adding fun to our work.

gem install mygem

isn't a pro tip, it's a dependency problem.

Keep the promos on your twitter channel. Thanks.
