After 24 hours we made it home. Me at least. Paul still has a bit of travel tomorrow.

Thanks @sfrubyconf.com and everyone for the fantastic time 🙌

During the @sfruby.com conference I got a chance to walk with @adrianthedev.com, founder of @avohq.io, and talk about the business of selling self-hosted, installed software to developers.

Turns out it's pretty challenging, but there's some upsides if you can figure out how to do it. 💪

TIL about the HTML Size Analyzer from DebugBear. Great for finding sneaky Data URIs or large payloads of JSON in your pages:

HTML Size Analyzer
Break HTML document size down by tag and attribute. Discover bloat like code duplication, large hydration state, and inline images.

Who else is curious about @palkan_tula’s “Rails X” keynote at the end of @sfrubyconf?
November 10, 2025 at 10:00 AM
I love updates and transparency, but boy, the corporate speak in Ruby Central’s updates is hard to digest sometimes...

It's so nice to see open Avo apps.
I love how @palkan_tula implemented the filter and actions inline with the resource.
Also cool to watch @paolino's RubyLLM in the wild too.

Events should be fun to promote! That's what I thought when we started what became SF Ruby Clouds: cute personal invites for every conference attendee to have fun sharing them and spreading the word about the event. We're open-sourcing this project today! github.com/evilmartians...

This just made my day! 🙏🏼

Open Source can be rough sometimes, but it's really awesome when people take the time to report how it works for them!

Can't wait to see where Herb is going in the next few months! 🌿
