San Francisco Ruby Conference

Let's bring the programmer delight and Ruby into the future! The San Francisco Ruby Conference, year two: two days of talks and conversation groups at SFJAZZ, Nov 10-11, and a community day on Nov 12. 450 Ruby engineers and founders, one room. The program One stage, two audiences. While small teams are in a talk, big teams are in a conversation group, then they swap. Keynotes are for everyone. Day 1 is AI-heavy: agents in production, AI in legacy codebases, and the Ruby tooling for both. Day 2 is AI-light: queues, concurrency, real-time, open source, and the businesses built on them. Schedule: https://sfruby.com/#schedule Day 1, Tuesday Nov 10: AI-heavy Agents in production, AI in legacy codebases, and the Ruby tooling for both. Conversation groups on Day 1: startups and startup-minded engineers get to know each other, big teams share their strategies for agentic coding, and small teams find their people in a matching game. Day 2, Wednesday Nov 11: AI-light Queues, concurrency, real-time, open source, and the businesses built on them. Conversation groups on Day 2: big teams and engineers get to know each other, startups meet VCs, and big teams compare Sidekiq, Solid Queue, GoodJob and more. Day 3, Thursday Nov 12: Community day Bring your own event: a walk, a bike ride, an ocean swim, a hackathon or anything else you want to do together with Ruby friends.
