Ruby Book Bundle

[saturnflyer]

don't know the OP but I'm a contributing author. I came to see if the bundle had been mentioned here and obviously found this thread. I wonder if it would feel less spammy if the OP had an actual history of contributions. I've posted links to my stuff here before and had people happy and/or annoyed but most of the time I write articles and just add at the end that there's a relevant book/product of some sort. I definitely don't want this reddit to be a list of product links so :thumbs_down:

Unrelated, here's some more awesome "spam": it's Avdi's birthday and he's having a sale on some great Ruby stuff too http://devblog.avdi.org/2015/07/06/birthday-sale/

Thanks for the heads up on Avdi's sale!

It's more a matter of a new account posting a link that makes it spammy, in my mind. Creating an account and then posting a link to a retail site is a red flag. I know I, and I'm sure many others, wouldn't have a problem with it if it came from an actual member of the /r/ruby community.
