Harriet Oughton

Big thank you to everyone who was involved in the Rails Foundation's work this year! With 3 years now under the belt, it feels like we have a fantastic network of people and companies who understand the mission and are helping us get there day by day. Onwards to more fun in 2026!

@robbyrussell @rails 😄

@OughtPuts @rails ..because I haven't found mine, yet.

Fun use for my awesome #miir bag gift from the @rails foundation - keeping my stuff dry during a wet and windy #fieldhockey training session last night. My improvised stick-holder made it a bit tricky to fit through doorways though. 😄

@robbyrussell @rails Well, I know how I'll be spending my Thursday night now.

@OughtPuts @rails Were you able to find the secret compartment with a golden ticket to Rails World 2026 in the bag?

✨ Using #Ruby's 'beginless' and 'endless' range functionality is a neat way to construct a chained AR query to return records where a specified value sits within the records' min/max values range (e.g., filtering for items where '150' is within their min/max range)✨ #Rails

@zhephyn @AmandaBPerino At the moment, yes, the candidate must be UK-based.

@OughtPuts @AmandaBPerino Strictly UK ?

☀️ Any UK-based Junior Ruby/Rails developers want to come and work with me? ☀️ #Ruby #Rails #junior #developer #fullstack #jobs #hiring uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=1e1…

🌟TOP TIP🌟 Use 'to_sql' to debug an AR query 🥳 I was stumped for a bit on why my sortable headers were not-so-sortable. Turns out I had included _two_ ORDER BY clauses, which I could see in the raw SQL string generated from calling 'to_sql' on the AR relation! #rails #ruby

🌟 Is there a better feeling than, having written great tests, running your code in a different environment and it just _working_ first time. 🌟

Bit of work on the #Rails guides this morning followed by an hour of HIIT 🏃‍♀️ Sunday morning of dreams 🤩

Camera ready! Let's do this 😄😍 #rails #womenintech

With the dust barely settled on #RailsWorld, I'm jetting off again already to Paris to film an interview about my journey into #Technology and within the #RubyOnRails community! What a privilege to fly over the river by sunset. 🌅

I really love the end-to-end deliverable ownership of projects like this 🥰 and designing the architecture with future developers in mind.

Working on building out a brand new app for our fleet 🙌 the POC for which has been prototyped using the cool @jumpstartrails 🤩

@joemasilotti I'm going to have to. Think I can see a gap in my diary somewhere around November... 2029 😄

@OughtPuts 🎵 Build it. Build it. 🎵 🎵 Build it. Build it. 🎵 🎵 Build it. Build it. 🎵

🚨 Dev friends who use ShapeUp 🚨 How do you allocate quick turn around fixes/support/client requests during a cycle when your engineers are working on longer projects? 💭🤔

Having a cool time putting together a design for how message reactions should best work on our platform today. 😶‍🌫️👾❤️‍🔥💬🧠🗣

@AmandaBPerino This is amazing 😅😅

Mother, no.
