Question:
puts, print, and p all write objects to a stream, but they don't all call the same conversion method. Which method does p use that the other two don't?

Answers:
to_str, to_s, summon_object_spirit, inspect — Travis, Joshua, and Craig laughing. Question: puts, print, and p all write objects to a stream, but they don't all call the same conversion method. Which method does p use that the other two don't? Answers: to_str, to_s, summon_object_spirit, inspect

Question:
Calling send in application code is fine. Private methods are a polite suggestion, not a moral framework OR Calling send in application code is eval wearing a fake mustache? — Question: Calling send in application code is fine.

Team gems clapping with the host, Sean, in the background.

Everyone standing around awkwardly waiting for the game to start.

Annie Kiley described lessons learned from completing a major refactor.

* Boring slack threads about an issue is a win!
* The code isn't the hard part
* If you don't know how it will ship, it probably won't
* Small, shippable pieces
* Don't get distracted
* Don't go it alone

This story was so incredibly relatable for a major refactor!

@kevin_j_m's talk is a must-watch! I laughed so hard it hurt, and then almost cried. A satirical review of the industry today, with a poignant plea for the future.

Dinner at Chai Pani! It was so good!

Beautiful flowers hang from the ceiling, assorted Indian dishes are spread around the table. 6 people, brought together by Ruby, gathered around the table.

@bkuhlmann passed around 4 ePaper readers that updated with the current slide as he walked through the technology that made it possible. This was such a cool demo!! And the tech stack that enables it - Hanami, HTMX, CSS transitions - is so cool!

I gave a talk! This is "Your First Open-source Contribution"! We talk about the benefits of contributing to open-source and break down the barriers between someone who's a great engineer in their company and a great open-source contributor.
