Go on, be a :whyfox: fox. Go to @brightonruby!

(But don’t tell the other foxes you’re going—it’s a secret, okay?) 🤫✨

You might even get a chance to write, draw and colour into this conference guestbook.

#brightonruby

Found a chat between two foxes—just hanging out, like they own the place (and honestly, they do). Here’s what @andycroll, the wizard behind @brightonruby, scribbled:

> :whyfox: A: Go to Brighton Ruby. It’s really fun!
> :whyfox: B: I dunno, seems like we shouldn’t.

They’ll probably say “no” at first, but that’s just fox logic.
Deep down, they’re already packing their bags,
sharpening their code,
and practising their best conference jokes.

Who let the 🐰 rabbit in the bar?

In the 📖 guestbook (which is really just why’s poignant guide to Ruby pretending to be a guestbook—shhh!) I also found this #gem from @arkham:

> A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit enter a bar. The rabbit looks around and says "I must be a typo..." — Ju, 2023

If you ever feel stuck debugging, just remember:
the whole internet is just one big, happy, polymorphic bar.

There, right at the front, just beneath the title and those gentle words that whisper who’s behind this masterpiece of a book (it’s why the lucky stiff, in case you’re still curious), you’ll find a little note from :matz: @matz addressed to :why: why:

> He started a movement.
> I miss you, why!
> まつもとゆきひろ
> matz

It’s a note that feels like a secret handshake,
or a :whyfox: fox peeking out from behind a line of code.
