I had a blast at @rmrubyconf.bsky.social and @xoruby.com last week. It was great to see old Ruby friends and make some new ones.
Also, I'm pretty sure that was the first time I've attended two conferences in the same week. :)

It's difficult with Twitter fracturing to make sure we capture speaker handles properly, especially in the flurry of posting the day of. If you have content regarding your talk you want shared, or want us to update a post w/ a handle, just tag us on your fave post, photo, reply!

Screenshot of slack message: "Jobs: Be sure to checkout our #job-board channel if you are looking for a job or if you are hiring. There are several companies with open roles."
Another great reason to attend community conferences like @rmrubyconf.bsky.social or @sw2con.bsky.social .
Job opportunities and chances for conversations with hiring managers where you are not flotsam in the LinkedIn sea.
