Friends, we're meeting on January 22 for the next #SFRuby meetup at Persona HQ! I hope to see you there! We're looking for talk proposals! We are doing 10/20/30 minute presentations. Our preference: 1. demos of new and ambitious Ruby startups (just tell us what you're building with Ruby!)

My favorite talk!! @jpcamara.com used Yjs and @anycable.io to build a collaborative text editor in a Rails app, and it was super fun trying it out live with other folks during his talk.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ruby and the release of Ruby 4.0, the first 32 talks from the SF Ruby Conference main stage are now live on YouTube! This includes keynotes from @marcoroth.dev, @palkan.bsky.social, and @paolino.me. We’re working on uploading the rest next week.

@sfruby.com (#sfruby) was a huge success 🔥 Huge thanks to @inazarova.bsky.social for bringing the community together and to @evilmartians.com for supporting this initiative from day one. Grateful to every coordinator and to the volunteers who supported this event from behind the curtains.

Friends, the recording of the #SFRuby meetup in October at AngelList is live! Inside are talks on Zaxcel (Ruby DSL for Excel files), writing Rust extensions for Ruby, secret management with dotenvx, LiveComponent, and AI-backed domain logic in Foobara.

The next SF Ruby is this Thursday, hosted by our friends from Intercom, and we'll talk about Ruby 4.0 (of course!), one yummy JS runtime i(n a gem), and the ideas on building AI libraries for Rails. Join in! luma.com/sfruby

“The promise of Rails is being fulfilled. People just haven’t caught up with this reality yet,” says @inazarova.bsky.social. We wrote about SF Ruby and reveal the real reason we decided to host the conference. Find it here: evilmartians.com/chronicles/w...

Hey friends, our next #SFRuby meetup is on December 18, at Intercom! It is a Holiday Edition: bring vibes, home-cooked sweets, and your Xmas (and cold :🥶)-inspired talks! Sign up at luma.com/sfruby Submit a talk at forms.gle/C9HQzaT5jvwA...

We see a surge of leads looking for "vibe code cleanup". So, at this point, we're out to make vibe coding more efficient! @inazarova.bsky.social experimented with vibe coding while building a feature for @sfruby.com’s website, but it wasn't perfect.

@sfruby.com Day 3 was the perfect community break! Started with a Lucasfilm museum walk (thank you, @inazarova.bsky.social), then joined the Golden Gate Bridge bike tour with @kanejamison.com, @jpcamara.com, @jeremysmith.co, @adarsh.ruby.social.ap.brid.gy and so many amazing Rubyists.

Such a great post about @sfruby.com from the brilliant @chael.codes !!! Got to admit, my mind was all over the place as we ran the conference for the first time ever-I was worried if everyone felt good. I'm so happy to read all the feedback and posts!

Back home from a fantastic @sfruby.com conference and 10 days in San Francisco. A packed schedule of talks, hack day at #angellist and many great conversations. The #ruby community really still is something special. Thanks @inazarova.bsky.social and team who put in so much in to make this happen.

And thanks @paul_ionut_bob and @paolino for a cool day.

Thank you, Ruby ✌️

SF was a blast. 🌁

There was a fun surprise after the closing keynote, a Rails X cake!! #sfruby

I really loved this one!! @palkan.bsky.social painted a picture of a future ideal Rails X version. My favorite ideas: * onboarding vibe-coders * maintainable at all scales * Rails is a messy quilt, not just rails/rails I also loved how he wove in other talks for the closing keynote.

Let's go to @sfruby.com !! This time I'm trying something new and all talks and posts will be replies to this post.

After 24 hours we made it home. Me at least. Paul still has a bit of travel tomorrow. Thanks @sfrubyconf.com and everyone for the fantastic time 🙌

The San Francisco Ruby Conference (@sfruby.com) just concluded and I'm incredibly honored and grateful to have been part of it. The conversations, ideas, and encouragement over the past few days were a reminder of how special the energy of the Ruby community really is! ♥️ #sfruby #sfruby2025

Got to see both our keynote speakers together at @sfruby.com @inazarova.bsky.social and Kieran Klaassen!

Big thank you again to @inazarova.bsky.social and the whole @evilmartians.com team and all the volunteers (like Gary here!) for this incredible event. It feels so so good to have our Ruby friends here in our wonderful city. It’s a beautiful gift. 🎁 AND we got a Rails X cake! (Iykyk)

A really big thank you to @inazarova.bsky.social , Amanda Kinney, and the whole @evilmartians.com crew for putting on such an incredible event. And thanks to @bradgessler.com and @chael.codes for the pics. Let's build the future with Ruby!

To start off the conference @inazarova.bsky.social thanked everyone who was involved in making this conference happen and reminded us why we're here–to learn how to build the future in Ruby!

Guess who just landed? @sfrubyconf here we come 🙌

Heading to SF this week for @sfruby.com. Who is going? Anyone want to grab dinner with me on Tuesday night?

Me? I just always travel with both my passports.

Reminder: this is still the best social feed on the Internet! clouds.sfruby.com/clouds/justi...

If you are anywhere near SF Ruby Conf and haven't bought a ticket yet, the time is now! This conf is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥

🪩⚠️ Alert: @sfruby.com is in 10 days ! ! ! What's inside: 💎 two dozen new and hot Ruby startups like @bolt.new 💎 authors of RubyLLM, Herb, Active Agent, Inertia Rails, ZJIT, and more 💎engineers scaling Ruby and Rails at Chime, Cisco, Intercom, Shopify 💎afterparty by GitButler 🪩 (see part 2)

It started when I interviewed 20 Ruby startup founders last year. Gave a keynote (!) at RailsConf. Launched SF Ruby meetup. Now it's coming together: the missing open source (AI, frontend), Ruby startups, Ruby devs. Learning from each other. Building the future. Together. In Ruby. At @sfruby.com

It's so nice to see open Avo apps. I love how @palkan_tula implemented the filter and actions inline with the resource. Also cool to watch @paolino's RubyLLM in the wild too. github.com/evilmartian... github.com/evilmartian...

Events should be fun to promote! That's what I thought when we started what became SF Ruby Clouds: cute personal invites for every conference attendee to have fun sharing them and spreading the word about the event. We're open-sourcing this project today! github.com/evilmartians...

Huge thanks to the @evilmartians.com team and @inazarova.bsky.social in particular for organizing the SF Ruby Conf. Kudos to the sponsors: Chime, @bolt.new, Cisco, gusto, @temporal.io, @scoutmonitoring.bsky.social, @planetargon.com, @hackclub.com, @gitbutler.com, and others. sfruby.com.

❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️

Life is happening! I turned 38 this week. Mom is visiting, and we are discovering SF and Bay Area together 💙

Friends, once you get a ticket (at sfruby.com of course), we send you an email to get your Cloud Card ☁️. And this is the most fun we've had in weeks, thanks to you all 🥹 clouds.sfruby.com/clouds/miles...

I can't wait to see everyone at @sfruby.com ! These cloud cards were a fun little surprise in my inbox, and I'm really curious about everything else the organizers have in store. Tickets are $350 until tomorrow. luma.com/sfrubyconf2025

Register for the @sfruby.com conf and you too can generate this cool avatar

Heading back to SF next month for sfruby.com. @planetargon.com is sponsoring, and I’m hoping to meet teams giving their software a second act. Thanks to @inazarova.bsky.social and the @evilmartians.com crew for the Cloud Card of me. Tickets and details → sfruby.com

It was fun to create a cloud card. Join us at @sfruby.com next month! bsky.app/profile/inaz...

Ok, that's pretty fun. Also, I *wish* I had eyebrows that thick. 🥲

These cloud cards are such a cool idea! Join us at @sfruby.com next month!

Rails "DIYstack" (kamal, hetzner, etc) hasn't yet solved reliability and trust for the data layer. People running a business on Rails want backups, push-button recovery, zero-config HA (like Heroku PG premium). You can do a managed DB but you're stuck on hyperscalers then.

Yeah! Join Aurelie at sfruby.com ! But like do it NOW because prices go up on Thursday! 😱

Join us in the Clouds! sfruby.com November 19-21 is going to be legendary as we organize the first Ruby conference in the Bay Area since 2014.
