Brighton Ruby is one of our favourite events — a single-track, single-day conference packed with great energy and great people. This year we will have two thoughtbotters attending: ![Rob's picture](https://images.thoughtbot.com/ho3fokr0vdkmu5esm5rvrzhlykfi_rob_small.png) Rob is a developer based in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire and most likely you have seen him already in Brighton Ruby or other conferences. He has a not-so-quiet obsession with best practices and striving for improvement. He likes to hunt down delicious beers and coffee in his spare time. Despite the recent ups and downs, he's an avid Stoke City fan, which is only a testament to his determination! ![Jose's picture](https://images.thoughtbot.com/9b65uo2efd0ap9bkvtuq2d2ncb1o_jose_small.png) Jose is another developer based in London. Jose enjoys writing clean, maintainable code using Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles and following Rails best practices. When he is not at the computer you’ll likely find him at the cinema or the theatre, out hiking in nature, or off exploring a new country in search of culture, adventure, and great food. If you’re attending, come say hello! We’re always up for talking about Ruby, Rails, that new gem we’re excited about, the eternal tabs vs spaces debate or we can just share a drink and talk about something else! Keep an eye on [thoughtbot on Mastodon][] and [Rob's personal account][] to see where we'll be hanging out.
