The San Francisco Ruby Conference (@sfruby.com) just concluded and I'm incredibly honored and grateful to have been part of it.
The conversations, ideas, and encouragement over the past few days were a reminder of how special the energy of the Ruby community really is! ♥️

Also for the Ruby people in Madrid. That mountain chain in the back is called La Pedriza and it is absolutely beautiful. I’m thinking of organising a one day retreat with Ruby people. Hiking plus Ruby talk.
Please let me know if you’re interested!

Last 6 months I’ve been working so much that I forgot that I live in such a beautiful place.
Two weeks ago I started to work less and started to go back to running twice a week.

When you have multiple stimulus actions on an element for different controllers do you order by the trigger or by the controller? I initially ordered by trigger but my project partner called it out in PR review to order by controller. I think they both make sense but I'm curious what others do
