This Friday, on November 21st, Sarah Lima and Louis Antonopoulos will be presenting at the tiny ruby conference in Helsinki, Finland.
If you’re attending, we’d love to talk to you about Ruby, Rails, what it’s like to work with (or at) thoughtbot, or, really, anything you like!
Presentations
Sarah
Revisiting Booleans in Ruby
Sarah will talk about how Ruby interprets truth, looking beneath the surface at how booleans are actually built inside the interpreter, and how these internals influence the way developers should model objects in real Ruby applications.
Louis
Unlocking the Rubetta Stones: Translating a Hoard of Ancient Tablets with Ractors and AI
Louis will take you on a deep medium dive into
Ractors,
a parallel execution feature of Ruby, while also digging a little into basic cryptography and
what it’s like to pair-code with Claude…or rather, his trusty AI adventuring archaeologist partner, Rubyana Gems!
Their goal: live on stage, break 5 rapidly rotating ciphers on a set of tablets in under 60 seconds to unlock a deeper mystery from the beyond.
