The contact form on my website is basically only ever filled out by robots, so I added a checkbox that says, "I am a robot. Only check this box if you are a robot." https://stevendbrewer.com/contact-me/

Robots appear to find it irresistible.

@alexis_bernard shared tips on debugging with binding.irb, understanding Postgres query plans, and using rack-attack and active_hashcash for app security.

Huge thanks to Diane Delallée for her fantastic presentation yesterday! She explained how @QoQa manages to deploy to production multiple times a day without stress—or mess in their changelog. It was another enriching moment for our local Ruby community.
