2. new open source in Ruby/Rails ecosystem (including your wild experiments and new ideas in established open source projects)
3. real stories from Ruby/Rails apps and teams, solving complex, tricky, or fun problems
And it needs to be about Ruby, and in-person in SF!
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.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ruby and the release of Ruby 4.0, the first 32 talks from the SF Ruby Conference main stage are now live on YouTube!
This includes keynotes from @marcoroth.dev, @palkan.bsky.social, and @paolino.me. We’re working on uploading the rest next week.
@sfruby.com (#sfruby) was a huge success 🔥
Huge thanks to @inazarova.bsky.social for bringing the community together and to @evilmartians.com for supporting this initiative from day one.
Grateful to every coordinator and to the volunteers who supported this event from behind the curtains.
Friends, the recording of the #SFRuby meetup in October at AngelList is live! Inside are talks on Zaxcel (Ruby DSL for Excel files), writing Rust extensions for Ruby, secret management with dotenvx, LiveComponent, and AI-backed domain logic in Foobara.

“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.

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.
thank you! this is very kind. I'm really hoping we can do this again!

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.

Vladimir on stage next to the opening slide which says "Rails" and then has a big X railroad crossing.

There was a fun surprise after the closing keynote, a Rails X cake!!

Vladimir on stage, looking up at the future.
Vladimir gestures to a list of things Rails should reconsider based on a survey he did. The slide looks like a family feud list. RECONSIDER JS/CSS MGMT (42) CALLBACKS (29) ACTIVE RECORD (21) ACTION MAILBOX (17) IVARS IN VIEWS (11) ACTION TEXT (9) ACTION PATTERN (CONTROLLERS) (4)
Vladimir next to slide: Predictions DX is more important than ever AI-readiness is the must Hotwire hits its limits
Vladimir looks at a slide describing... Rails X Beginner-friendly Docs, starter-kits, UI kits, vibe-boarding Developer-friendly LSPs, guardrails, linters AI-native AI concepts, augmentation Ready to scale Maintainable architecture, performance-oriented extensions
I really loved this one!! @palkan.bsky.social painted a picture of a future ideal Rails X version.
My favorite ideas:
* onboarding vibe-coders
* maintainable at all scales
* Rails is a messy quilt, not just rails/rails
I also loved how he wove in other talks for the closing keynote.
A view of the bay flying into SF. The sun is shining. The water glitters. Clouds hover delicately over the horizon.
No trip to SF is complete without In-N-Out! Me and Max Tiu with burgers and fries.
A view of the water from the walk to the venue. A gnarled tree overhangs the sidewalk.
A view of the venue, the bay, and the bridge. The venue is a low, industrial building that sits on a pier above the water. A sign - San Francisco Ruby Conference - hangs over the door.
Let's go to @sfruby.com !!
This time I'm trying something new and all talks and posts will be replies to this post.
After 24 hours we made it home. Me at least. Paul still has a bit of travel tomorrow.
Thanks @sfrubyconf.com and everyone for the fantastic time 🙌

The San Francisco Ruby Conference (@sfruby.com) just concluded and I'm incredibly honored and grateful to have been part of it.
The conversations, ideas, and encouragement over the past few days were a reminder of how special the energy of the Ruby community really is! ♥️
