I got to hang out with Drew Bragg on the Coding Coders podcast and we talked about a ton of random stuff from personal software to AI workflows and of course a shoutout to @blastoffrails.bsky.social

Here comes a "studies show"
My first attempt to do video content for this conference. Enjoy!
@kevinjm.bsky.social I didn't know you had a beauty product side business. You are an incredibly busy guy 😆
@inazarova.bsky.social @andrewm.codes @matheusrich.bsky.social to name a few!
So excited for these talks! Big conference update!
We are putting the final touches on our speaker lineup. Even though it was expected, it was extremely difficult to make those final choices. We are so excited for you to see what's coming. Stay tuned!
Was having too much fun with midjourney and this happened
Reading transcripts is pretty intense. I just skimmed this one out of curiosity and already saw a couple "creative" transcriptions. Lol
@inazarova.bsky.social and I had a chat about the @sfruby.com! We go deep into venues, marketing, and so many more conference details. Check it out!

I went a couple years ago (when it was a different exhibit) and it was amazing! Worth the trip!
An Albuquerque essential!
I added a fun new "Things to Do" page to the Blastoff Rails site. Albuquerque is a great place to visit and you will probably want to stay after the conference is over. 😜

CFP is now officially closed! Thank you to everyone who submitted a talk! We are so excited to review them all and see this conference really take shape!
Now is a great time to be working on talk proposals! The CFP deadline for @rbqconf.bsky.social is tomorrow, then @blastoffrails.bsky.social and @tropicalonrails.bsky.social on the 10th. Here's the full list from RubyEvents: www.rubyevents.org/cfp
Don't forget you have until January 11th to submit a talk for Blastoff Rails next summer!

Trying out Google Veo 3.1 video generation and their "Veo Studio" is actually an app inside their AI Studio so you can see the code and ask for features in a separate chat pane with Gemini 3 Pro Preview. Any feature you wants gets built before your eyes. Mind Blown.
My favorite part is where he drops the laptop 👨🚀
Great conference and great to see so many friendly, familiar faces! @sfruby.com
I have talked to multiple people who mentioned that because everything is moving so fast it is difficult to submit a good CFP for an AI talk that won't happen for several months. So I am trying out a new thing!
Uuufff I am still in Act 1 haha 😅
I sat down with Amanda Perino of the Rails Foundation to ask her how Rails World comes together. She really pays attention to the finer details of the conference experience and I really enjoyed this interview. I hope you will to!

If you are thinking of submitting a talk to the Blastoff Rails cfp, listen to this episode of Remote Ruby for a peak behind the scenes!

@rmrubyconf.bsky.social was awesome! Met so many great people and left inspired. Already looking forward to next year!
Meeeeeee!
Our CFP is officially live! It is open for a couple months so you can ponder your best ideas (or several) but don't overthink it. Also, if your talk is selected we pay for your flight and hotel!
Another fantastic interview with a Ruby conference organizer! This time with Hana Harencarova. I really hope I can make it to Helvetic Ruby someday. Their 2026 event will be in November in Zurich!

@cirdes.bsky.social is one of those people that knocks things out of the park. He did it with @tropicalonrails.bsky.social and he did it with this interview. Glad I got to chat and get some of this conference organizing knowledge. Please check it out! rubyconferenceproject.com/2025-08-08-i...
