Conferences drain me like nothing else but boy are they fun, inspiring and utterly irreplaceable.
Thanks @andycroll for another great #BrightonRuby and @balticruby for my first #BalticRuby !
You should definitely consider submitting a talk to the tiny ruby #{conf} #cfp…
Found a chat between two foxes—just hanging out, like they own the place (and honestly, they do). Here’s what @andycroll, the wizard behind @brightonruby, scribbled:
> 
A: Go to Brighton Ruby. It’s really fun!
> B: I dunno, seems like we shouldn’t.
They’ll probably say “no” at first, but that’s just fox logic.
Deep down, they’re already packing their bags,
sharpening their code,
and practising their best conference jokes.
Welcome to @whysfoxes!
Thanks to @emma and @andycroll, @alexanderadam brings a printed copy of _why’s Poignant Guide to #Ruby to #conferences, where attendees write, draw, and colour inside it—making every page a little more magical.
Sharing highlights from the #guestbook: your writings, drawings, and colourful creations.
Let’s keep the whimsy alive together & make this corner of the internet a little more poignant (and more chunky).
Drop a line, share a story, or admire the foxes.
I’m also gonna turn off ticket sales on the weekend because late tickets are administratively annoying!
The “mediative preparation” (of lanyards and hole punching) has begun.
See you on the 19th.
Welcome to tiny ruby #{conf} on the 21st of November 2025!
Tickets are now available and the CFP is open.
Looking to give away some tickets for https://brightonruby.com purchased by kind folks in the community in the name of @codefolio
Please share with folks (in education or out of work in early career) who would qualify. Will contact folks by Wed 5th June.
I promise I'll stop now. But I dug even further.
Think this is my favourite solution even though it's not the fastest.

I’ve started writing again! I wrote the first essay for my newsletter last week about how I view AI coding assistants. Would love to get your feedback!

Go on, be a fox. Go to @brightonruby!
(But don’t tell the other foxes you’re going—it’s a secret, okay?) 🤫✨
You might even get a chance to write, draw and colour into this conference guestbook.
