Portland is rapidly fading into the distance as I fly back towards Raleigh. I’ve enjoyed the past six days immensely. The Ruby/Rails community continues to surprise me with its passion, dedication, and downright uber-geekiness. The highlight of the conference for me was the time spent between talks and during meals, … Continue reading

The last day of RubyConf is now almost over. It was a seriously great conference. As I mentioned previously, I’ve never been to a RubyConf before so I didn’t know what to expect. I’m glad I went. It was great hanging out with some seriously smart people. Several of the … Continue reading
