Save the date, mark your calendars, and decline the invite to the All Hands meeting! The second edition of SF Ruby Conference is happening Nov 10-12. Our first confirmed keynote speaker is @realgarrytan.bsky.social, president and CEO of Y Combinator and longtime Rails builder.

@inazarova.bsky.social is the Rails community's resident startup whisperer and her keynote talk at Blastoff Rails this year will be the 3rd installment of her Startups on Rails report!

Supply chain attacks can’t be solved with one silver bullet. They need a systemic approach. For every dev layer (not just npm, but CI, Docker, and your editor) ask 4 questions: 1. How can we reduce dependencies? 2. Isolation 3. Update control 4. Review Thread ↓

Using Claude Code to build apps is fun until real people start using them, making feature requests, and reporting bugs. Suddenly, you and Claude aren’t enough to keep up. From Mars to Brazil, @inazarova.bsky.social took over the Tropical on Rails stage for 5 minutes to address this. 🧵

No one could actually explain what PMF is or how to find it... until @inazarova.bsky.social conducted thesis-grade research on 35+ successful devtool companies. She built a PMF compass that tells you exactly what to do next based on where you are.

We work with ~40 early-stage startups a year. Most founders confuse product-market fit with signups, but these are a vanity metric. We recently studied 25+ successful devtool businesses and found exactly what they're missing to get PMF. We're ready to share findings with you. March 23rd. 👀

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.

My @sfruby.com talk on real-time collaboration with AnyCable, YJS and Rails is up! I felt really happy with how it came out - let me know what you think because I can't watch myself talk 😂 youtu.be/J68QOBLEItY

“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!

I had an incredible time at SF Ruby Conference! The venue, talks, and conversations were all top tier. See why in this blog! ✨ www.chael.codes/blog/2025/11... #sfruby #sfruby2025

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. 🌁
