    Hi HN, I want to share a little Ruby documentation+art project that I'm working on with my wife (she's an artist) for my company, Honeybadger.io: https://www.exceptionalcreatures.com/ The introduction explains what it is, but here are some highlights: - Each Ruby exception is a sneaky creature which could pop up in your Ruby apps. - The documentation (which is in-progress) is supplemented by docs from Ruby core and standard lib. - The errors on the Bestiary page are ordered by attack scores which are calculated from Honeybadger data (so these are the errors which are occurring…

We do the right thing by being non blocking. Would love any thoughts / feedbacks / roasts etc
