I want to say a big thanks to @jremsikjr.bsky.social for putting on XORuby.com in ATL yesterday. It was great being part of a small, intimate conference. I caught up with friends and met some new ones.

Physically exhausted, emotionally over-stimulated. Wouldn’t have it any other way. People are awesome. They just need an excuse to break out of their routines and be encouraged to be curious of possible futures.

I joined the Rails Business Podcast to talk about how I got into Rails, the path from freelance work to running two small Rails-based businesses and lots more.

What if you want to write this query in AR? select * from jobs where jobs.status = 1 AND (jobs.state = 'GA' or jobs.state = 'AL') Job.where(status: 1).where(state: 'GA').or(state: 'AL') - NOPE ⬇️

The #Ruby community is filled with some amazing people, and @jremsikjr.bsky.social stands out as one of my favorites. Our conversation covered numerous insightful topics, especially the discussion about permission, which resonated with me in particular. Check it out!

🎙️ @garrettdimon.com and I were on the latest episode of the Ruby on Rails pod. Lots of good stories from taking over an older Rails app -- ruby and rails upgrades, redis upgrades, configuration tweaks, analytics, etc. Elise was a great host! Give it a listen. www.johnnunemaker.com/ruby-on-rai...
