@sfruby.com (#sfruby) — Product Demos that surprised me (in the best way) 🤩
I expected great talks, but I didn’t expect the demos to be this good. Let me share the insights in the next posts!
P.S. There’s also a short video of how the conference T-shirt merch was made 👕
Day 1 @sfruby.com is off to a great start! Really enjoyed the @wnb-rb.dev lunch and getting to meet more people in the ruby community.
@sfruby.com (#sfruby) — Day 1 (Part 2): Talks changing how we think about Ruby 🤯
If Part 1 was about views, performance, and AI in monoliths, Part 2 dives into something even deeper: how languages evolve, how we design systems, and how AI fits into Ruby’s future
An open Ruby Passport in front of a window overlooking the tarmac at SFO. An attempt has been made to make block letters and emulate a real passport, but it has failed. The ink is smudged and dates have been scratched out and updated. The photo is a stiff, dead-eyed smileless stare like a real passport. First name: RACHAEL Last name: WRIGHT-MUNN Date of birth: (left blank) Nationality: UNITED STATES Signature: (squiggly ChaelCodes signature) Date and event of issue: 19 Nov 2025 SF Ruby Date and version when you started using Ruby: 10 Jul 2014, 2.1 Date and version when you started using Rails: 03 Mar 2015, 4.2.0

I GOT MY RUBY PASSPORT!!!! ❤️🛂
Thank you to @sfruby.com and @therubypassport.com for organizing an embassy!! ❤️❤️❤️
Had an incredible time at @sfruby.com
Fantastic talks, amazing people, and great vibes across the board
So much to dig into and unpack around tooling, AI, development patterns and our collective ownership in the future of Rails
Community day was such a great finish

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! ♥️

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.

Ruby & Rails folks going to @sfruby.com:
On Friday I'm organizing a Golden Gate Bike Tour + Alcatraz Ferry Ride from ~9:30am to 1pm:
Registration at luma.com/n1reh5hj
Launches
- @brunosutic launched RailsBilling - Gem for Billing Subscriptions
Events:
- @sfruby.com offers scholarships
- @tropicalonrails.bsky.social tickets for 2026 available
- Rails Camp USA seeks sponsors for next year's event
Events should be fun to promote! That's what I thought when we started what became SF Ruby Clouds: cute personal invites for every conference attendee to have fun sharing them and spreading the word about the event. We're open-sourcing this project today! github.com/evilmartians...
After a year hiatus, my series on all things Ruby concurrency is back! This post digs into the interrupt mechanism in Ruby threads. These interrupts revolve around bit masks, so it's got some Ruby bit work as well!
Expect more regular updates from now on 💃💃💃

Wes was kind enough to help out!
Thank you Rosa ❤️
Check it out, SF Ruby Conf got Wes Anderson to shoot their intro video. 😏
Map of SF Ruby Conference's venue. There are food trucks. 2 theaters - Blackbox and Main Stage. 2 lounges - Zero Gravity and Spacesuits. A workshop studio. There's a Ruby Embassy room. Then there's a room labeled "Secret Experience".
They have this map.
Obviously I'm looking forward to getting my Ruby passport, and I'm sure the lounges will be interesting.
But what is this secret experience?
Evil Martians delivers deep technical competency with this touch of delightful whimsy.
I cannot wait to see what a conference organized by them looks like!
The program is focused on the bleeding edge of Ruby, but I want to see the rest!
My mom was kind enough to let me know about @sfruby.com 😅
This November in San Francisco... 💎❤️
