Drove for ~12 hours today. Back in the States and ducking off for a quick rest after @xoruby.com Montréal

Had a great time at @xoruby.com Montreal yesterday! Good presentations and conversations, and when I got home I still got to read my son a bedtime story 😄 (he was doing his best to delay things 🙈)

Daniela Velásquez shares how to implement agents in pure Ruby.

Venue criterion: There must be 10 lunch restaurant options within a 10 minute walk. Our Montréal venue went a step further with a food hall on the first floor.

“Building gem.coop” by @kaspth.com

Each of our events starts out with small group work and a facilitated conversation. Things we learned about our attendees today: * An attendee leveraged family to copy programs out of a book. * An attendee started sewing in the pandemic and made her coat. * We are grieving loss w/AI while learning

“Ideas Worth Stealing” by David Cornu is our first talk at XO Ruby Montréal

There's a lot of talk about how abstractions and frameworks don't matter anymore.

For a mythical prize, anybody want to guess where the font is from?

I've been talking and dreaming for a while about putting on a Ruby conference here in Orlando. Before I get too deep into that, I'd like to get an idea of who else might be interested in attending such a conference here.

So I put a small site together. If you'd be interested in attending the Ruby Magic Conference in Orlando (hopefully late 2027), I'd love it if you'd visit the site and let me know: rubymagic.dev

And here it is! Event-sourced, server-rendered, async, nested state machines in Ruby!

This is a fantastic talk and I can’t wait to share it.

We do not know the long term effects … of using AI tools on projects at scale. - @noelrappin.com

Charles Nutter talking about the state of the art and the future of Ruby. You can download Cross The World on steam. Visuals in DragonRuby, world built in @jrubyproject.bsky.social. store.steampowered.com/app/2965140/...

Daniel Colson is breaking down the RegEx engine in Ruby.

“WHAT'S YOUR MOST INTERESTING RECENT EXPERIMENT?” A multi-language compiler called temper, vibe-cooking, and lots of experimenting on people (mostly kids/parents).

“The more business you get, the worse your code gets.” - Michael Carrol

“Why would I want to take myself, mostly, out of the loop?“ Talking about creating a software factory to ship more. - @thedayisntgray.bsky.social

Hard agree! Taking some time talk to other people in-person or online is a great antidote.

Paulo Perrata opening up the day about the history of artificial intelligence and its origins since the 1950s for @xoruby.com nyc The idea of building a brain is the core of where he’s starting off, it should be a very interesting buildup

Who is burnt out in this new age of Al cend how do yas keep from not burning out? The consensus was spending time in-person with people.

Warming up for XO Ruby NYC

An afternoon in NYC

Got some browser cookies

we've been working super hard on Solidus lately and are excited to announced that Solidus v4.8 is coming very soon (tomorrow) https://solidus.io/blog/solidus-quarterly-roundup-q3-2026

I'll be speaking at NYC about the "Rubyist in the Loop"

Hello, Brooklyn! I did sleep before I arrived but it’s still nice to see you.

Talking with folks at a coffee shop before @xoruby.com about how experienced developers have never had more free time. I suggested it would be incredibly helpful to early career folks to get their questions to folks who could help them. Ahmed Nadar said “So … you want to re-create Stack Overflow?”

Excited to share I'm speaking at @xoruby.com on October 17th. Hope to see you there! www.xoruby.com/event/montre...

The Toronto vibes were great and that was before we pulled out a huge stack of cash to distribute. 🤣 Join us! - Oct 10: NYC - Oct 17: Montréal www.xoruby.com/events/

I will actually speak at @xoruby.com in NYC this SATURDAY, October 10th, at the Metropolitan Pavilion! XO Ruby events are focused on local Ruby communities, with a dirt cheap, one day, single track setup. Stop by and let's chat about JRuby! buff.ly/fKA2EMQ

Stopped by Rochester to visit with @thedayisntgray.bsky.social before seeing him at @xoruby.com this Saturday.

I've not really been following Jev but I guess it's not so novel https://laya.convaiinnovations.com/

This was a really nice and insightful talk!

Kristine McBride wraps our day sharing how they deliver multiple regions from one monolithic Rails app.
