@kcdragon.bsky.social has been dropping Ruby knowledge on me for over a decade. This will be great if you're able to make it!

Next week is Philly.rb! @kcdragon.bsky.social is joining us for an intro to Hotwire Native. If you’ve been curious about taking Rails to mobile without going all-in on Swift/Kotlin, this is a great chance to learn how teams are doing it in practice. RSVP here: www.meetup.com/phillyrb/eve...

We finally got some snow in Colorado so decided to take my first powder day.

Really excited for this one. Wale was one of the first people I connected with in Philly after finishing my bootcamp back in 2014. It's been great re-connecting at conferences the past few years.

Episode 67 has a bit of a temperature! 🌡️ In this one, we sit down with @wale-olaleye.bsky.social, founder of Rails Fever, to chat about building a software consulting business, marketing and sales outreach, refining your messaging, and the value of being local and in-person. www.indierails.com/67

Last week, I released a huge update for Spot Squid that lets shops pre-book time slots for events. They completely sold out the event in a few hours! Was awesome having a chance to stop by the event and see everything humming along in person. "It was incredible. So smooth. Everyone loved it..." 😤

Do I know any founders who write their own content and would participate in a UX interview for Knowatoa's new onboarding for $$?

Had a great time hanging out with @jasonswett.bsky.social earlier this year. Thanks for having me, Jason! www.codewithjason.com/podcast/1788...

Got to see Taking Back Sunday and Coheed and Cambria and Red Rocks this past weekend and the best way to describe it is it felt like a high school reunion, but one that I'd actually want to go to. Fred re-joined TBS and both bands went harder than any other show I've been to.

So glad my trip to Amsterdam was so much easier than last time. Ready to kick things off at #RailsWorld

Quick pit stop in Iceland on the way to Amsterdam for #RailsWorld

Merged a few hotfixes before review this morning and was trying to make a Cowboy Coding joke when sending an update. I attempted to put my face on Cowboy Curtis but ended up with this abomination and I can't stop laughing at it.

"We didn’t sponsor RailsConf to try to sell Judoscale or win customers..." And yet this will both sell @judoscale.com and win them customers! They have an AWESOME product and they are present in the community for the sheer love of it. Be more like Judoscale. judoscale.com/blog/rails-o...

My perfect record of never having an on time departure for a conference when flying American remains intact but finally in Philly

@davidhill.dev was just thinking it'd be great to organize an Ode to Railsconf group photo next week

You know it's a good breakdown when you stank face so hard your face id stops working.

Meet Shardly Romelus, one of our Scholars attending this year's #RailsConf! 👋 Shardly is a Boston-based fullstack engineer who loves building with Rails and React and taking on big challenges (including running 250 miles in a month!)

Just under a month until the final #RailsConf in Philly. On top of getting to head back to Philly and and getting in some final memories, I was fortunate enough to be selected for a guide! See you in Philly! railsconf.org/about/#schol...

With #RailsConf about a month away, I've been doing some reminiscing about my Philly days. Spent my 30th birthday at National Mechanics for the Weblinc holiday party and the Careless Whisper sax guy played Happy Birthday for me 😆

Lianna did a killer job helping me out with a landing page! This is a great chance to get some outside advice and save yourself from endless tinkering.

I've seen a few people mention that the actor that plays Greg on White Lotus also plays Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite. Watched The Monster Squad this past weekend and realized he's also the human version of the Wolfman! Why am I just now finding this out?!

Fixed a failing CI build in a single try. Didn't even get to the "please work" commit message stage. Feel like I should buy a lottery ticket now.

Deployed a huge update for a client yesterday that re-writes their frontend to use Inertia + Rails. After working with Inertia the past couple of months, it's really been growing on me.

Snagged my ticket. Can't wait to head back to Philly for a few days!
