I'm so excited and honored to join @marcoroth.dev and @adrienpoly.com on the RubyEvents team! They've been so encouraging, friendly, and welcoming on all my PRs and Issues. RubyEvents is a beautiful application, and I love our mission! ❤️

Abstractions and architecture make code easy to extend and modify. DRY is about domain logic, not lines of code. Agents and humans benefit from code that is designed to be extended and modified and is implemented in as few places as possible.

This week's guest needed to reschedule. I have a buffer, so I don't NEED to record this week, but I'd love to keep a consistent recording schedule so I don't accidentally burn through it. Anyone out there in the Ruby/Rails space up for talking about what they're working on?

I don't care if it's AI-gen, it's so beautiful I want to put it in my own blog!! 😍 It captures all the key points and summarizes them well! Thanks @yarotheslav.bsky.social ! blog.superails.com/rails-world-...

Welp... Got laid off from Podia today. Kinda a lot to process for a Thursday. I'll have something more coherent to say eventually. For now, send Ruby/Rails leads. Or dog pictures.... Both are good.

I'm working on meetup id validations today! We're going to auto-fix them. I'm also a little sick and distractible, so we might end up doing something completely different too. www.twitch.tv/chaelcodes www.youtube.com/live/pqChL-0...

I want to go to Disney after the conference! 🤩 Or maybe Universal - I haven't been to Epic worlds yet.

Wrote a thing about last week's Rails World. andycroll.com/ruby/look-a...

October will be extraordinarily busy with 8 events! If you're not attending any of them, you can curl up and watch the videos from RubyConf Africa, RubyConf, RubyKaigi, or Rails World which all released this month! This and more in the September Newsletter! www.rubyevents.org/announcement...

Yay!! Aaron is streaming again! Go check it out! ✨

This is genuinely incredible! Reactivity like React for humans, and simple, clean html for agents and low-bandwidth users.

There’s always something happening at WNB.rb! All month long, you can connect with an amazing community, learn together, sharpen your skills, and support your career. Come hang out! #WNB #WNBrb #Ruby #RubyOnRails #Rails #WomenInTech #NonbinaryInTech #TechCommunity #CareerDevelopment

I'm really excited to see what an XO Ruby pop-up social looks like!

AI Shuffle on Spotify (WHICH I NEVER TURNED ON) played Head-Shoulders-Knees-and-Toes in my lullaby playlist. 😠 The baby is happy, but I am not. 😒

The Deccan Ruby 2019 website was stunning! www.twitch.tv/chaelcodes/c... web.archive.org/web/20190916...

Bonjour Montréal 👋 We're coming to town this October 17! Who should speak at the conference? We’re looking for new voices. Maybe someone who dives into a deep part of a domain that Ruby helped solve, someone who has a story to tell that’ll make us think about our AI age, ...

This is 75% off, so it's literally $4!

I love this so much. opusfived.dev

Today is the 4 year anniversary of One Dreamer! store.steampowered.com/app/1156380/... This is a beautiful, atmospheric, story-driven programming game, and I'm honored to voice Chael, Frank's programming mentor. I loved this game from the demo, and I recommend playing it!

I try to make this a little better every month and automate it a bit more so I can spend more time on little details and customizations. I'm particularly proud of this edition. ♥️

I saw this at Blue Ridge Ruby and it had me in stitches from laughter, and then on the verge of tears. I can't wait to see it again at Rocky Mountain Ruby. ♥️

YES!! FINALLY!! I've been using the gh-image extension, but fetching the token is fiddly in containerized environments. Native support for attaching images is so exciting!

Going to Rails World this year? There is a great block of presentations you just have to see! Track 2, Sept 23rd. Starts with @jeremysmith.co @1pm, then @chael.codes @1:45, wraps with mine @2:45 - This year my topic is Hifumi - Rails App Generator. See ya in Austin! rubyonrails.org/world/2026/s...

One day left for pricing on those early bird tickets! 💫 Take a look at our speaker lineup if you're trying to decide: rockymtnruby.dev/sessions/

Feeling a sense of validation as event after event (@xoruby.com) people pull me aside a tell me they haven’t been able to go to a conference in years for one reason or another. So many parents, caretakers, and otherwise location locked have been left behind.

YES!! I basically live on the Mutuals and OnlyPosts feed and now it's in the app itself. 🥰

The Rails security team published attack details and -- more importantly -- tools and agent skills to run a forensic investigation to help you determine if you were exploited. Be careful out there. discuss.rubyonrails.org/t/cve-2026-6...

This was such a great talk! All about using DragonRuby and Rails to build the game Authentication Hell! Which you should play (on desktop). authenticationhell.com

Hello #rubyconf (and everybody else) — I've got a promo code for you! 40% off all Ruby or Rails titles at PragProg.com with the code "RUBYCONF2026". Including, say, Programming Ruby 4 (pragprog.com/titles/ruby6/pro...)

We love ruby events and we want to support their growth. These guides are a fantastic resource for new organizers and those looking for new ideas. Thank you to all the organizers who contributed, and @hansschnedlitz.com for putting these guides together. Welcome to the team, Hans!

Have you tried making a GitHub view yet? @marcoroth.dev showed me this: docs.github.com/en/issues/pl... It's for issues, but I made a custom view for reviewing RubyEvents PRs! github.com/rubyevents/r... It shows me all the open PRs made in the last 4 weeks that weren't authored by a maintainer! 😍

I am so incredibly excited to see this! Organizing an event is incredibly difficult work, and this will make it easier for new organizers to get started! ✨

Joining a Ruby conference soon? We’ve got dedicated Discord channels where you can connect with other WNB folks who are attending, coordinate meetups, share tips, and more. Come join us at wnb-rb.dev and hop into the Discord ✨ #Ruby #RubyConf #WomenInTech #LGBTQinTech #TechCommunity

Our CFP deadline is almost upon us & you've got a weekend to tell us how you would share: 🤖 Grounded, practical AI advice 💎 Deep-dive Ruby, Rails & Hotwire magic 🧠 Non-technical gems: culture, mentorship & wellness ❓️ Yours here Have until Tues! rockymtnruby.dev#cfp

Last year, we decided to bet on the community and host our first conference in SF. We put it together in six months, and the result was even better than we could've imagined. This year, we're doing it again and are beyond excited. Get early access to tickets in the link below.
