When the bar called last call, my manager grudgingly announced me as winner (and the following year added the rule that staff couldn't win). And that's how and why I went to Ireland for the first time. 😸 END.

Short story: circa 2002 or so I worked at an Irish pub in Brussels. Halloween in Brussels in 2002 wasn't a thing, no bars celebrated it, no one dressed up at all. But this pub decided to host a costume contest on a busy Friday night. The prize? A free trip to Ireland. (...)

The second edition of Rails World is a wrap! 🥳 See you next year!
That's a wrap! Rails 8.0 beta was released at this year's
#RailsWorld
in Toronto where more than 1,000 Rails developers met for 2 days of talks by 27 speakers, and 2 nights of parties. Thanks to all who made it. See you next time!

Just discovered the YouTube feature on my gym's treadmill. Fun fact: a 30min run will get you through approx 7-8 videos in the

This sounds familiar, where have we heard this before?
@Rails
may go about it differently, but the end goal is the same: removing complexity, adding simplicity, increasing developer happiness, and welcoming the next gen to the fun. It's great. More frameworks should follow suit!
This is how Laravel will win. 💯
"Our goal is to make it easier for new people to come into Laravel, deploy an app, and see how productive they can be. I would love for people's first web programming language to shift back to PHP."

I walked in on the bride and groom doing coke before the wedding. At the reception they played hard techno despite elderly family members present, and groom eventually collapsed in a fit of sobbing after a fight with the bride. Not my friends, I was a +1 at this delightful union.

And so I sat at the bar for the next 5 hours, fielding question after question about why I was dressed like a cat in a busy disco pub on a Friday night in Brussels. Each time I would smile a wide Cheshire cat smile, point at the poster, and say, 'I am winning a trip to Ireland.'

I did it. I responded to all 427 applications for the junior-mentor project to make the Rails World website. I know how frustrating it is to apply and never hear back, so I was determined to get back to everyone. But holy cow. Will rethink my strategy next time.

Saw the word 'idempotently' in the Rails Guides. Now wondering how to phrase it in simple terms for someone who didn't graduate with a CS/math degree & who might speak English as a 2nd language. Or! Someone like me who *does* speak English natively but has never seen the word.🤔

Rails Fest.....don't tempt me....
Rails World is not just a conference. It’s a freaking festival to what
@Rails
stands for.
It’s the testament that Rails is not just “here to stay”, but it’s here to push the boundaries of what development can be.
The framework, the committers, the community and the ecosystem

My mom clicked on the Issues and Committer team names she found on the Rails website. This led her naturally to GitHub, where she clicked and scrolled around, so I took a photo.
