It would be so nice if Google Calendar caught up with the times and offered more options to block scams and #spam: “Block invitations from *all* unknown senders” seems a bit drastic when you use your calendar for work. #Google #GoogleCalendar #Scam

I’m so grateful for @rubycentral.org and #RailsConf: It was great to meet old friends and make new #RubyFriends! It’s amazing to be part of this community, both inspiring and inclusive. I hope we can meet again soon at other regional conferences! ♥️ #RailsConf2025

There is a lot of value in programming just for the fun of it. I love this message by @tenderlove.dev in his keynote. Tinkering with weird stuff can be a great way to learn things beyond what you do at work. #RailsConf #RailsConf2025 #OpenSource

Now @tenderlove.dev kicking off the last keynote of the final #RailsConf. So many puns!

Final day at the final #RailsConf. Last presentation before the last keynote. @excid3.com and @ufuk.dev saying thanks to everyone who makes #Rails and #RailsConf2025 possible.

So many puns in the keynote of keynotes by the one and only Aji Slater. The audience is loving their freshly baked memes! I don’t think @tenderlove.dev will be able to keep up with all their puns. We will see later today! #RailsConf #RubyOnRails #Philadelphia #RailsConf2025

♥️ Shan Cureton kicking off day 3 of #RailsConf with an inspiring message to companies in the #Rails community

We had a blast pairing with folks at the #RailsConf Hack Spaces! 🚀 We ♥️ our community and #OpenSource! #RubyOnRails #Pair #Philadelphia

Solid advice by @kaspth.com: Anyone can contribute to #Rails and any #Ruby gem. It’s not so much about reading the source code of the library, but mostly about interacting with it and actively debugging library code. #RailsConf #RailsConf2025

We’re excited to be at the final #RailsConf in #Philadelphia!

Looking forward to connecting at #RailsConf! 🚀 You can find us on Wednesday, July 9th, at the #RailsConf2025 Hack Spaces to pair on some of our favorite #OpenSource projects.
