Talks are great, but the real value from conferences comes from the connections we make in downtime. ❤️ Between @wnb-rb.dev lunch, the @gitbutler.com afterparty, and unofficial get-togethers, I had a fantastic time meeting and chatting with my #rubyfriends at #sfruby!!

Hack day at AngelList was great! I didn't write a line of code, but that's not everything for a hack day! I had some great conversations, and I'm feeling inspired and recharged going into the Thanksgiving break!

There was a fun surprise after the closing keynote, a Rails X cake!! #sfruby

I went to @noelrappin.com's workshop! I liked the reminder to think about pure Ruby objects, and agree that data validation replaces static type checking. I was too shy to take photos in such a cozy space, but thankfully all the workshops were recorded! www.rubyevents.org/talks/the-dy... #sfruby

Sarah Mei is back!! I really loved how she addressed that some AI hesitancy is based on personal fears expressed as societal fears. I also completely agree with her vision of the future. But I think we'll see more small-scale niche projects too. www.rubyevents.org/talks/the-ro... #sfruby

Tech is great, but you need people to buy into your product or project! @leenyburger.bsky.social's talk was a great overview of some different ways to get people interested in your project! I really liked the points about post quality and building trust. www.rubyevents.org/talks/from-c... #sfruby

There's a blog post version of the talk now! obie.medium.com/ruby-was-rea...

Feel free to use the photos wherever and however!

I was really excited about @josevalim.bsky.social's talk because I'd heard good things about Tidewave, but now I'm more excited by some of the suggestions he made. The idea of a runtime API for fetching documentation is fascinating to me! www.rubyevents.org/talks/naviga... #sfruby

Congratulations to @miss-tia.bsky.social on her first conference talk!!🎉 She's been working on pom, an app that brings together journaling, gardening, and recipes to promote peace of mind. www.rubyevents.org/talks/peace-...

I GOT MY RUBY PASSPORT!!!! ❤️🛂 Thank you to @sfruby.com and @therubypassport.com for organizing an embassy!! ❤️❤️❤️

Learning about building MCP tooling to better understand your application with @baweaver.bsky.social was fascinating!! The questions AI is able to answer when it has access to introspection from Packwerk and Rails is really cool!

Thank you, Rachael! 🙏🏼

To start off the conference @inazarova.bsky.social thanked everyone who was involved in making this conference happen and reminded us why we're here–to learn how to build the future in Ruby!

Never change SF.

I love how cool and zen the zero gravity lounge is. This and the Ruby Warrior room are my go-to places to hide and be comfy.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous!! I'm loving the transparent chairs and conference spaces!
