🎙️@GriffinTess @rmrubyconf – “Learning Empathy From Pokémon Blue” @ @thoughtbot - Hardware limits shaped elegant tradeoffs - Legacy constraints teach respect for modern guardrails “It wasn’t bad code. It was tight code, pushed to the limit.”

And remember, for those of you still around tomorrow, you have more options to continue the party! Come by Rayback Collective anytime for Code && Coffee. Then join Boulder Ruby at 6 pm at Viget for another great presentation by Scott Werner! luma.com/ue3fso8b?tk=P2…

@c_sonnier It was so much fun as usual! I didn't post anymore because I was too captivated 😅🥲

@rmrubyconf The epic game show!! Can't wait to watch it! Drew does such an entertaining presentation.

Aww yeah we're kicking off another round of Who Wants to be a Ruby Engineer?!

Thank you Travis!

Good evening, Rocky Mountain Ruby! We'll will be sharing media, updates, and videos in the next few weeks, but for now, thank you for all the camaraderie and making Bekki cry!

One more thank you for all our sponsors -for funding, in-kind donations and services, and podcasts for spreading the word! ♥️💎

Thank you for sharing your time in preparing and presenting! Great crop of lightning talks this year!

More lightning talks! Importantly, many of our sponsors send devs, who are represented here talking about their own passion projects (Caribou, Checkr, Meraki)

Some highlights of all our lightning talks! (part 1)

We're so very excited to have André Arko (@indirect.io) with us today presenting what makes and keeps an app production-ready. ... and I hear he'll be back on the stage for lightning talks too!

Max VelDink of @shopify giving us the process and cultural tools to manage the big changes of a Rails upgrade - welcome to the Rocky Mountain Ruby stage!

Co-organizer Bekki flipped the camera around on our mid-morning stretch, showing all our Ruby friends including our volunteers and @meraki folks anchoring the front row!

Recapping our AI conversations so far this week, Christine Seeman blends Rush 🎸 in asking how we blend a thoughtful Rubyist mentality 👥 with a future of GenAI usage 🤖

What a great question to ask to keep us thinking, thank you!

Erin Pintozzi, to an audience of 80% technologists who got here through unconventional means, giving us tools for ensuring the future still includes junior devs

It's difficult with Twitter fracturing to make sure we capture speaker handles properly, especially in the flurry of posting the day of. If you have content regarding your talk you want shared, or want us to update a post w/ a handle, just tag us on your fave post, photo, reply!
