📣 Check out this episode on Friendly Show's podcast 🎙️ where @adrianthedev and @andycroll talk about the challenges of organizing conferences, bringing @brightonruby flavor to #RubyConfMini and @RailsConf, and his project "First Ruby Friend" ⚡ buff.ly/3P5lo6m

@RogersKonnor @kddnewton Likewise, it was really good to finally put a face to the voice I'd heard on @remote_ruby who was doing really cool web components work. Looking forward to collaborating with you on Bundler, any of the AST stuff or LSP extensions. Thanks for being at #RubyConfMini!

To wrap up, thank you to @JemmaIssroff for her determination & hard-work, to @EMGSamp for her stamina & passion, to @andycroll for his expertise & guidance, and to all who attended/spoke at the conference. #RubyConfMini was most definitely a special once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Now that I am waiting to board my flight to Houston, I can't help think about the great experience everyone had at #RubyConfMini a little over a week ago. It was one of the best conference experiences I've had and here is why: 🧵

Just gotta say, I’m feeling really grateful for #RubyConfMini this week.

For my first post-#RubyConfMini project I'm building a CLI tool to transform rspec code into minitest. It's mostly an excuse to learn @kddnewton 's amazing syntax_tree gem. Follow along here github.com/existentialmut… #ruby

I recently went to #rubyconfmini, and with vaccine, testing, and masking requirements, there have so far been 0 reported positive covid cases after the conference 😎

I’m so happy to be back home after an exciting week with #RubyConfMini Hotel life always makes me miss the comforts of my home. Coltrane has missed me tremendously! 🐈‍⬛🥰 Two days w/o wifi so now I’m taking the weekend to polish up my notes and share a few.

Just FYI, post-conference high is a thing. 🥰 #RubyConfMini

In the theme of conferences #rubyconfmini being dangerous, I was driving home last night and hit road debris -- that shattered my tire and rim. Note - episode 439 of @BrittJMartin was in my ear at the time. Correlation???

I’m home from #RubyConfMini. From the organizers’ welcome to the closing keynote, I frequently found myself moved by moments of authenticity, vulnerability, and kindness.

Great hanging with you @TChopoorian ! #RubyConfMini #RubyFriends

Thanks for teaching me #DragonRuby @cgose001 ! #RubyConfMini #RubyFriends

Here's the blueprint for a mini-proposal on how to ask your manager for permission. @rose_w advises to end your proposal with "Do you see a problem with this?" They're unlikely to disagree after reading your previous points. #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

How can you be a #leader in remote work situations? Create inclusive meeting guidelines for team meetings. If you notice someone was cut off from talking, stop the meeting and allow them to speak. Give credit where it's due. @rose_w #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

"As leaders, we have to judge ourselves based on what we allow other people to do." @rose_w #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

Titles are NOT useful for always getting your way, speaking freely/receiving honest feedback, and knowing the answer to everything. @rose_w #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

According to @rose_w, "titles are useful for being invited into the room, clearing space to be heard, being paid fairly, and occasionally dealing with a sexist idiot." 🤣🤣🤣 #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

"Every morning my professor would greet us as, 'Good morning gentlemen, and lady.'" @rose_w on her experience in higher education #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

Second contestant up and second contestant down. Ouch! @DRBragg #RubyConfMini #RubyEngineer
