RailsCamp in Australia is back!
But with a whole new reboot, the camps will be called #RubyRetreat going forward, taking us closer to roots of our community as a community built around programmer happiness (and spreading those friendly vibes far and wide through the apps we build and the projects we support).
On the train to Warrnambool now with a great group of friendly coders.
Thx @rubyau organisers!
Someone at #RailsCamp described Hotwire and all of that on a vanilla #Rails stack as "jet fuel for small teams," and I think that's exactly right.
I'm making a simple form builder right now and between turbo frames and streams, I'm pretty sure I can get most of what I need to do with just those.
Just the conferences and events I’m aware of for #Ruby right now are #RailsConf in April, Ruby Kaigi in Japan in May, Blue Ridge Ruby in NC and Brighton Ruby in England in June, #RailsCamp West in September in Hawaii, and presumably #RubyConf in the fall as well.
I know there are several regional ones I don’t know about or am forgetting too. It’s kind of wild.
I remember back in 2010-2012 when I was mostly doing #ruby and #rails, going to #railscamp in Australia/NZ and the organisers had setup a Twitter clone because there was a whole thing about not having outside internet.
One year I wrote a StackExchange viewer.
It became a fun game to spend the weekend replacing internet services.
I feel like that behaviour might have gotten out of control and run wild.
