We've been planning something new… On Thursday evening after Day 1 of the conference, we're going to be hosting an optional roundtable discussion, to talk about the changes happening in our industry, and how we as Rubyists are working through it.

Speaking at Blue Ridge Ruby 2026

I'm speaking at Blue Ridge Ruby in Asheville, NC in April/May, 2026.

This mid-February morning, you can almost tell that spring is coming. 🌱 Today we're pleased to announce 10 wonderful Rubyists who will be bringing their stories, insights, and wisdom to the Blue Ridge stage April 30 & May 1. Hope to see you there! https://blueridgeruby.com/

I teased this a couple days ago, but now I'm ready to share the Ashevillagers project for @blueridgeruby (inspired by the @sfrubyconf Clouds app). @midnightmonster kindly volunteered to take on this project! 🙏 Here's our *actual* kickoff call. 😄

Alright, my second Behind the Scenes video for @blueridgeruby is out!

In this one, I chat with my friend @adrian about Ruby Passports (the origin story, how to setup an embassy, and future possibilities).
