I'm not at #RailsConf, but I did just now release a new web framework I've been working on: BrutRB:
Read about it on my blog, below. It's not like Rails at all. I had fun working on it, will keep working on it, and hope you like it!

It's time for the last #RailsConf! Sadly, since my #JRuby talk was rejected, I won't be able to participate, so I need you to step up and represent. Let me know if you're there and I'll try to connect you with other JRubyists! Tell people our story and spread the word!
I’m hosting a community gathering at the Sheraton Lobby bar at 5pm, today! I’ve always enjoyed conversational diverse events at RailsConf, so let’s have one, one last time. I’ll put a little money behind the bar so come along, have a drink on me, and make some Ruby friends! #railsconf

Hello Philadelphia!
I'm excited to attend #RailsConf and see all of you! It was a little bit of a bumpy flight today, and I've never seen an airplane dodge clouds before.
Who had three hours of sleep last night, almost missed his flight because he forgot the visa passport at home and had to go back, but just landed in NYC and on his way to #railsconf to meet the most awesome developer community in the whole wide world?
This guy!
For anyone attending #RailsConf this week, I’ll definitely be looking for a nice activity at 5pm Tuesday. I’d love to coordinate!
Resurfacing this idea given #RailsConf is this week, for those who are going but aren’t thrilled about a certain keynote speaker. (And of course, find friends and stay safe)

The last #RailsConf starts on Tuesday. We attended our first RailsConf in Portland, Oregon in 2013, the year after HB launched. Now we’re sponsoring! But did you know that HB co-founder @bencurtis was there at the very beginning? Buckle up fellow kids.
Logging in here or the first time in a while to wish @rubycentral a very heartily fuck you for inviting a racist to give a keynote at #RailsConf.
What a way to sully your legacy and that of the conference, putting a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
There's a German expression for this—a "Griff ins Klo" (reaching into the toilet and pulling something out).
I hope y'all step on Lego bricks daily.
Wish I could be at the last #RailsConf for the many amazing people from the community. Alas, the organizers have chosen for a vile racist to give a keynote speech; and they are saying fuck you to vulnerable people in the community by not requiring facemasks.
As #RailsConf 2025 nears, we look back to when DNSimple was featured in @rubycentral.org Newsletter!
Proud milestone for us, highlighting how #Ruby and #Rails have been essential to our growth from our early days to becoming a trusted domain management solution.

All the travel finally paid off, I just got upgraded for the first time today!
And with that, on my way to @railsconf!
Hope to see you in Philly next week!
Kind of crazy this year's RailsConf will be the last one.
I think the first one I went to was 2009 in Las Vegas. I still have the deck of playing cards from the swag bag that year.
There was the infamous "hookers and blow" keynote. Also, a younger DHH explaining that if you don't use a Mac for development you're not using the best tools for the job. Happy to see he finally came around to Linux.
End of an era for sure.
Rubyists! I'll be co-hosting a SQLite "office hours" with all-around good guy @fractaledmind at the final #RailsConf in Philly (on Day 2 of the conf!)
If you've got any questions about using SQLite or deploying it into production, we'd love to help!

Friendly reminder that @rubycentral has decided to platform hate at the last #railsconf by having #dhh speak.
The community has already fought this battle and removed his hate from our conference but apparently @rubycentral has no spine.
What happened to #MINASWAN ? How are our lgbtq+ or minority community members supposed to feel welcome and safe when you actively platform someone who rails against them at every opportunity.
Choose a local conference instead!
