Blastoff Rails@blastoffrails.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe made a game for Rails devs based on the conference! You can play your way through real places in Albuquerque, interacting with real people from the community. Choose your gem and face your destiny! game.blastoffrails.com
I had so many wonderful conversations with so many incredible people, enjoyed every talk, and was blown away by what a cool town Asheville is. Blue Ridge Ruby was an awesome conference!
We updated Adrian Marin in the game to reflect 3 things that I admire about him. 1) he is the friendliest dev you will meet, 2) he is one of the great minds behind the Ruby passport and 3) he is sponsoring the conference through Avo. Thank you Adrian for all you do! And thank you Avo for sponsoring!
Blastoff Rails: The Game got some updates! A few new characters, easter eggs, and some tweaks to the difficulty after some feedback from players. game.blastoffrails.com
