I meant to share this closer to , but it got lost somewhere. Look at this delicious piece of Biscoff cake from Pelicano Coffee. It was so massive that I failed to eat the whole thing. As usual, the coffee was exquisite. I always visit here every time I am in Brighton.

Late into the night before , some of us discussed DHH and his leadership of . @ufuk did a fantastic job moderating the conversation and highlighted that the Rails team is more than one person.

At the conference, there was plenty of food for thought. Something from ‪@nickschwaderer‬’s talk stuck with me. It was the idea of “no dunking”.

I will now raise the likes of ‪@eileencodes‬ instead of putting others done.

The unofficial(?) motto of is “Matz is nice, so we are nice”, or MINSWAN. I got a similar feeling during . I heard so many people exclaiming in disbelief at the welcomeness of the community and the conference. I put most of this down to @andycroll and his incredible inclusive attitude. We need another motto, “Andy is nice, so we are nice”.

I wrote a little thing about hobbies, based on the first week of my sabbatical: jamie.ideasasylum.com/2023/07/

What do my hobbies of painting Orks & keeping tropical fish, and @threedaymonk talk, @joehart’s fun projects, and @tenderlove’s mycology have in common?

Had a brilliant time yesterday at - some great talks including a very timely one on documentation (!) plus brill to meet some people in real life for the first time whom I’d only worked with remotely!

Left a warm fuzzy feeling and I can’t wait until next year. fantastic job by @andycroll - really great.

@nickschwaderer Thank you for your talk at and for bringing some of _why's whimsy wisdom through Scarpe.

I told you I had a good quality print of “Nobody Knows Shoes”. I took it out in hope of finding who printed it or how I stumbled upon it... but in vain, there's no editor nor date.

Heading home after another marvelous @brightonruby. I don’t know how he does it, but @andycroll manages to put on a uniquely special event year after year! Great so see so many too. 7K seafront run this morning, coffee, now headed to the train home.

I enjoyed yesterday. My lightning talk seemed to be received well. I'm happy about that: a disproportionate amount of effort went into those ~5 minutes!

The code and some details are here: po-ru.com/talks/bimd

Thoroughly enjoyed @threedaymonk’s lightning talk “Back in my day… 20 years of Ruby in 5 minutes” and not just because of the Four Yorkshiremen nod: github.com/threedaymonk/back-i

Given the amount of stick I get for continuing to support Ruby 1.8.7 in my gems (cough cough @tom ), perhaps it is time to really focus on Ruby 1.6.8 support.

Reminded by @codefolio’s talk, I’ll enjoy countering anyone who protests “footguns” by considering “sharp knives” instead:

“Because it’s always about other programmers when the value of sharp knives is contested. I’ve yet to hear a single programmer put up their hand and say ‘I can’t trust myself with this power, please take it away from me!’. It’s always ‘I think other programmers would abuse this’. That line of paternalism has never appealed to me.”
