It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Workflows are like a specialized tool for developers building Expo apps. They add the glue between all the steps you need to deliver your code to your users.

I’m back home and already missing all my #RubyFriends. Honestly, going to RubyConf every year is what keeps me in tech — you are all such lovely, intelligent people, and I feel so lucky that I get to work alongside every one of you. Thank you for an amazing time 🙏

So, I did a talk at #RubyConf. A keynote, an incredible honor. But before I did it, I updated my slides with my BlueSky (and Mastodon) handles. When I came off stage, I saw this, and it’s been literal years since I’ve seen this on socials after a talk. I’m so glad we all picked a place finally.

“Come to RubyConf,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said. #RubyConf2024

This may be an unpopular opinion, but to get to Matz’s vision of dynamic type inference, we first have to invest more in *static* typing and better type inference in the typing ecosystems we already have. #RubyConf2024
