Ode to RailsConf
RailsConf 2025 will be the final RailsConf. Let's talk and share our experiences from attending RailsConf over the years and being part of the Ruby on Rails community.
www.odetorailsconf.com
With RailsConf coming to a close in 2025, I wanted to do something to celebrate it. Which led to the creation of the "Ode to RailsConf" podcast. Each week I chat with a new guest about their experiences at RailsConf. Please give it a listen!

Two of my favorite people, talking about cool stuff! Can't wait to listen to this!
I was joined on C4 by the "RailsConf World Champion" @doodling.dev and what an episode! We got into a little of everything. From working with Angular, to navigating foreign codebases with LLMs, to their amazing keynote. This episode could have easily been double the length of time.
