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! ♥️

We need to be louder! Surprisingly few people in the broader engineering community understand that Ruby powers a disproportionally huge amount of Bay Area's most successful startups. From GitHub and Stripe to Chime and Stackblitz, Ruby powers teams that go HUGE with less.

This time I'm trying something new and all talks and posts will be replies to this post.

In the age of LLM agents, the intruder is already inside the house. If you're running Claude Code in dangerous mode, a prompt injection attack is one bash call away from exfiltrating almost anything that's unlocked on your machine, or using your (auth'd) gh cli to steal your repo

It started when I interviewed 20 Ruby startup founders last year. Gave a keynote (!) at RailsConf. Launched SF Ruby meetup. Now it's coming together: the missing open source (AI, frontend), Ruby startups, Ruby devs. Learning from each other. Building the future. Together. In Ruby. At @sfruby.com

Another feature shipping in the upcoming Herb v0.8.0 release is the ability to disable specific linter rules using comments.

The Herb Language Server will also include Quick Fix Code Actions to make disabling rules effortless. 🌿
