Mommy and daddy get the day off today

I wrote some reflections on the flight home from the last RailsConf almost two weeks ago. I've just been sitting on them, feeling some reluctance to share. Maybe because I don't want to be misunderstood? Not sure. But I decided I'd share anyway, and hopefully it's meaningful.

After this white glove demo I immediately understood that there is no other way of building AI-enabled apps on Rails than using Active Agent 🙌

One spot left for tomorrow's branding workshop for tech builders. We want to keep the group small, so if you're considering participating, please hurry. Link: lu.ma/hvli157s

I had a great conversation with Travis about putting on Friendly.rb 🙌 If you want to know a few details from behind the scenes, have a look at the recording.

I interviewed @adrianthedev a couple weeks ago in my effort to learn how to organize conferences from the best. It is hard to find a more helpful and friendly person out there. Thank you adrian for your time and attention. You are an inspiration! rubyconferenceproject.com/2025-07-03-int…

Two weeks ago, at the last RailsConf I brought an "I am Friendly" swag item to put up for auction. A certain "Mike W" won it and never got to meet or thank him in person. So help me find "Mike W" somewhere online so I can say "Thank you" 🫶

I've added an all new section on Hotwire Native to "Master Hotwire". I've put over 70h into making it the fastest way for experienced Rails developers to get up to speed with Hotwire Native. But I'll leave the old price until the end of the week: masterhotwire.com
