Ohh yeah! the Rockwell retro encaburator, I featured that in my 2022⁺ #RubyConf talk while talking about #Monads in #ruby
Never again without a contract: dry-validation
https://www.rubyevents.org/talks/never-again-without-a-contract-dry-validation
where I also featured your work, Ryan :)
⁺ wow almost 3 year ago to the date.
#dryrb
The same as you shouldn't work without a contract, our systems should accept external inputs without one, a written, clear and enforceable one. Define the structure & expected payload being aware of their schema, structure & types. Using dry-schema or dry-validation this part is a matter of a few lines of codes covering most of the cases you may find with the cherry-on-top: error handling out-of-the-box and if this not enough with optional pattern matching for results.
@marcoroth I'm not Nick Robinson :P
Also I need folks's old backup discs really. So I need to also know the Ruby folks over there.
But uh
I would love a trip to Japan to raid some Hard Offs for weird PS/55s and copy some backups for some weird versions of Ruby. Would make for a fun #RubyConf talk.
🎤 One single track. Zero FOMO.

Alan Ridlehoover has called Cisco Meraki "the largest Rails shop you've never heard of" -- but after sponsoring events like #RubyConf & #RailsConf, that might not be true anymore! 💫
Cisco Meraki hires 100+ Rails devs per year & sponsorship is CRUCIAL to meeting their hiring needs.
