@rockymtnruby happened last week! Nothing like 150 #RubyFriends getting together to love on #ruby! @Fito and I were honored to kick things off with our "Brewer's Guide" talk! And our colleague Liz Heym gave her first conference talk! Great conference!
Great start to RMR today with a lovely demonstration of complexity and churn in our coffee -soup-cocoa-cream machine. Thank you @Fito and @alan!

> Working on a successful and growing codebase, more often than not, requires changing and extending existing behavior. Code attracts code, and changes tend to cluster around existing features. This can be easy at first, since we can probably just extend the existing pattern, but it soon becomes painful if our code is not prepared for change.

So far I've said Hi to @camertron , @alan and @Fito, nice to meet you again, folks!

#SFBayArea #Ruby Meetup @ #NewRelic

It's turn for @alan Ridlehoover with "A Gardener's Reward", a nontechnical talk I did enjoy in the past, but love even more live.

A Gardener's Reward

I had the privilege of sharing my Gardener's Reward lightning talk at RailsConf 2024 in Detroit this week. It's based on a post I wrote a couple of years ago called When a Flower Doesn't Bloom. My friend, Fito, was kind enough to record the talk. The transcript is below

It was my privilege to give a lightning talk called "A Gardener's Reward" at RailsConf this week. My friend @Fito was kind enough to record it. You can find the video and transcript here: https://the.codegardener.com/a-gardeners-reward. It's only a 4 minute talk. Enjoy!

Hi folks! I'm heading to RailsConf next week where @Fito and I will be presenting an extended version of our Brewer's Guide talk on software complexity on behalf of Cisco Meraki! Come check it out! We have stickers!

Note: Vendor talks are not recorded. So, if you're considering two talks during that time slot (10:15 Tuesday), come see us live and watch the other talk on tape... 😀

Finally, if you miss our talk, please swing by the Meraki booth to chat and pick up some awesome swag!

I was fortunate enough to nominate @Fito to participate in a Cisco program called Next Generation Leaders. The program intends to increase the ranks of African American and Latín leaders within Cisco. Individuals attend the program with their managers.

Wow! What an amazing experience!
