Who had three hours of sleep last night, almost missed his flight because he forgot the visa passport at home and had to go back, but just landed in NYC and on his way to #railsconf to meet the most awesome developer community in the whole wide world?

This guy!

Sometimes the best conversations happen when you embrace being the person who doesn't quite feel like they belong yet.

Hack Spaces

RailsConf 2025 is the world’s largest gathering of Rails developers, brought together to further discussion and learning about building, managing, and testing Rails applications. With a specific focus on Rails, conference topics can range from new users to administration to advanced techniques.

RailsConf 2025 Philadelphia, PA  July 8 - July 10
But here's the thing about imposter syndrome in our industry: everyone feels it sometimes. Even the people you look up to probably felt the same way at some point.
I'm excited to connect with people who are building things, solving problems, and pushing Rails forward. Not because I belong in some exclusive club, but because we're all just developers trying to build better software.
When people get me talking about code, community, and building SaaS products, I can go for hours. That's my zone. That's where the imposter syndrome melts away because I'm just sharing what I genuinely care about.
I'm looking at the other maintainers and seeing Marco Roth, Rosa from Solid Queue, Steven, Jose Valim with Hotwire Combo Box, Chris Oliver. These are the Rails stars. And then there's me.
If you're at RailsConf in Philly this July and see someone who looks slightly overwhelmed by it all, that's probably me. Come say hi anyway.
I'm heading to the last RailsConf's Hack Spaces and honestly, I have massive imposter syndrome.

If you like collectibles and you're at RailsConf, here's your chance of getting your hands on a very limited edition "I am Friendly" lithography frame.

It's a labour of love hand-made by my sister and father.
We only give these to speakers and Friendly.rb supporters.

Grab yours now. I'm bringing only one 🙌

For those debugging JS assets, toggle the "Hide extension URLs" filter in the Network tab.
It will dramatically cleanup the asset list 🤯
