It’s amazing to see @ChicagoRuby attendance climbing back toward pre-pandemic levels! Now the goal is to make sure no Chicago Ruby engineer misses it. 🟥 If you know any Chicago companies using Ruby or with Ruby teams, please drop their names in the comments. You can also DM me if you prefer. 🟥 That’s the biggest help right now. Thank you in advance

November @ChicagoRuby × @Cisco — what a night 🔥 Huge thanks to @Cisco, @kphurley, and Alan Ridlehoover for making this collab happen, one of our strongest meetups of 2025. 🎙️ Andy Andrea — Reusable JSON Schemas 🎙️ Patrick McSweeny — Hotwire Your UX Both talks = practical, clean, and immediately usable. Thanks to everyone who came, stayed late, asked big questions, and made it a night to remember.

🚨 Growth brings surprises. At our hybrid #ChicagoRuby meetup, a Zoom guest hijacked the screen share with explicit content, cutting off the talk mid-sentence. It took me 30s to stop — felt endless. Huge respect to Aji Slater, who recovered instantly and delivered a great talk.

🚨 Final reminder: @ChicagoRuby meetup is today at @workforcedotcom. In-person spots are full, but you can still join us via Zoom 👉 us02web.zoom.us/j/8852133360…. Start at 5:45 PM. Follow future events: meetup.com/chicagoruby/
