Really lovely and restorative day and a bit in Brighton for #brightonruby . Thank you @andycroll for putting on a fantastic event and giving me the excuse to come and catch up with some old ruby friends.

Happy to see my favorite private Ruby investigator: @nodunayo

#BrightonRuby

Now @oughtputs speaking at @brightonruby about #Concurrency in #Rails.

#rubyonrails #RubyProgramming #brightonruby2025 #brightonruby

Some lovely folks at @brightonruby's fireside chat:

@andycroll, @amandabperino from #railsfoundation, and @rosa on the stage. 🤩

#Accessibility is definitely an underrated topic.
I'm glad that @carmemias is raising awareness at @brightonruby.

Happy #BrightonRuby, everyone! I look forward to seeing you for some post-conference drinks later. Will you be there?

I can neither confirm nor deny if I'll have some drinks money on behalf of @thoughtbot. I guess you'll have to meet me to find out!

But despite my scepticism on AI hype it's otherwise a very interesting and practical intro to vector search using embeddings/LLM. I do want to play with this tech a lot more! #BrightonRuby

And now it's a talk about AI, with the bold claim we're in stage 4 ("slope of enlightenment") of the AI hype cycle, I'm fairly confident we're in stage 2 (the inflated expectations stage!) #BrightonRuby

The first slide of @valeriecodes's from @rubycentral / #heroku talk is already gold 😅

the next talk is also an interesting case study on using rack-attack to not only apply some basic throttling and rate limiting, but also for detecting, flagging and restricting users based on context of the application #BrightonRuby

Now Julia Lopez from #harvest is talking about defending your #Rails app.

When I used to go to conferences regularly, I’d invariably post “95% white male, 4% non-white, 1% female”

First impressions at #BrightonRuby 10% female, 15% non-white

I'm at @brightonruby today, interesting talks at the start, nostalgia over my Computer Science degree and then a deep dive into a promising future for developer tooling driven by static typing! #BrightonRuby

I knew vaguely about the new sorbet<-> rbs comment stuff, but I had no idea how much nicer it looked #BrightonRuby

#BrightonRuby static analysis with @emilysamp.dev from Shopify

And new RBS syntax and more..

Now @emilysamp from #Shopify speaks about one of the most controversial topics in #RubyProgramming: #Types (and 🍦 @sorbet_ruby for that matter).

Remember that you can easily generate type definitions with Tapioca:

Every single talk that I saw from @rosa is just fantastic and highly recommended. 🤩

Good to be back in Brighton at @brightonruby today!

Brighton Ruby has a very special place in my heart, since it was the first Ruby conference I ever attended back in 2018 and where this whole conference journey started 7 years ago!
