Ruby on Rails, Organizing @blastoffrails

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@adrianthedev Oh, that looks fun!

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@joelga That's awesome! I am planning on doing a 50k next year and I have been having similar conversations with Claude 😁

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@nateberkopec 33 and just started running again. Hoping to do some marathons and ultras next year. I wanted to be a gym bro when I was younger but it just never worked out 😅

[Cirdes Henrique @cirdesh]

It's official: Tropical on Rails 2027 is March 18–19 in São Paulo. Come for the talks, stay for the caipirinhas. See you there! 🇧🇷

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@DRBragg Some dogs for you 🙌🏻

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@DRBragg Man.. I am so sorry. The podia crew has been legendary to me. Breaking that up is crushing. 😢

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@inazarova @hideccanqueen This is amazing 😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻

[David Hill @DavidEsmale]

So I put a small site together. If you'd be interested in attending the Ruby Magic Conference in Orlando (hopefully late 2027), I'd love it if you'd visit the site and let me know: https://t.co/auqwpKRtOW

[Blue Ridge Ruby @blueridgeruby]

We are officially a go for next year. April 29th and 30th 2027. More info coming soon!

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

Now starts the process of looking for sponsors so I can determine what ticket prices and speaker budget will be. Please reach out if you are interested.

[Blastoff Rails @blastoffrails]

It isn't official until it is on https://t.co/aVVjPTaFP6 so today Blastoff Rails 2027 is officially happening! June 10-11 are our dates and our venue will once again be the wonderful Albuquerque Museum.

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@JasonSwett Wait. Isn't it supposed to go the other way to go higher?! 😆

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

At this point I don't think we have to do the whole "I made- I mean Claude made this sweet tool this afternoon". Just say you made it. I get what you mean. You don't say "I made- I mean Vitamix made a great smoothie this morning."

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

This was a really good writeup from @mattsolt about the state of Ruby and Rails right now (prompted by the dhh keynote of course) with links to awesome writing from others. Took me all morning to get through it and I am very glad I did. Highly recommend.

"people change slower than software."
Yeah I forget to accout for this sometimes

[Nate Berkopec @nateberkopec]

thanks for the long and detailed reply. I'll think about it more to give it the time it deserves. I think you're responding a bit more to David than to me, but that's OK. I don't think crapping out code is the endgame as I think my other tweets reveal.

I think a big part of the answer to some of your questions is going to be "what OSS communities will actually embrace and allow these kinds of drastic changes to be made?" people change slower than software.

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@inazarova Yes! I was bobbing my head in the audience when it played haha

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

What I am telling myself after the dhh keynote 😆

[Freedom Dumlao @APIguy]

"It's a little weird but I wouldn't worry about it." @robbyrussell speaking my language at #RailsWorld

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@palkan_tula *nervous laughter*

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

@mattsolt @jeremysmithco Hotwire gotchas and his solutions for them. I need to go back and compare to some stuff I've done in my own code bases.

[Travis Dockter @travis_code]

Rumor has it @jeremysmithco spent 140+ hours on this talk and it shows. So well done and so practical! 👏👏👏 https://t.co/MGan7mywKS
