💮 New stamp alert!
@rmrubyconf.bsky.social had a nice event earlier this month and what a nice stamp they made for it 🦕
🥹 it's true... They're all amazing! The squad gets bigger every year.
Thank you Anton!
You're so fabulous! Thank you for the shout-outs and repping our stamp
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. :)
And remember, for those of you still around tomorrow, you have more options to continue the party!
Come by Rayback Collective anytime for Code && Coffee. Then join Boulder Ruby at 6 pm at Viget for another great presentation by Scott Werner!

@rmrubyconf.bsky.social was awesome! Met so many great people and left inspired. Already looking forward to next year!
Good evening, Rocky Mountain Ruby! We'll will be sharing media, updates, and videos in the next few weeks, but for now, thank you for all the camaraderie and making Bekki cry!
One more thank you for all our sponsors -for funding, in-kind donations and services, and podcasts for spreading the word! ♥️💎
Aww yeah we're kicking off another round of Who Wants to be a Ruby Engineer?!
Thank you for sharing your time in preparing and presenting! Great crop of lightning talks this year!
More lightning talks! Importantly, many of our sponsors send devs, who are represented here talking about their own passion projects (Caribou, Checkr, Meraki)
Some highlights of all our lightning talks! (part 1)

We're so very excited to have André Arko (@indirect.io) with us today presenting what makes and keeps an app production-ready.
... and I hear he'll be back on the stage for lightning talks too!
Max VelDink of @shopify giving us the process and cultural tools to manage the big changes of a Rails upgrade - welcome to the Rocky Mountain Ruby stage!
Co-organizer Bekki flipped the camera around on our mid-morning stretch, showing all our Ruby friends including our volunteers and @meraki folks anchoring the front row!
Recapping our AI conversations so far this week, Christine Seeman blends Rush 🎸 in asking how we blend a thoughtful Rubyist mentality 👥 with a future of GenAI usage 🤖
Erin Pintozzi, to an audience of 80% technologists who got here through unconventional means, giving us tools for ensuring the future still includes junior devs
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!
With a callback to Rocky Mountain Ruby of yesteryear, Sean Collins is leading us through simplifying the complexity of an app with Hanami slicing and layers
Make sure you stop by the table and get extra stickers to share the @beflagrant love with coworkers and fam!

A reminder that you can watch all these talks later (and even lightning talks) thanks to the great work from @confreaks and Cindy!
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.
