why's foxes — conf guestbook
@whysfoxes.bsky.social
The official unofficial #RubyLang #conference #guestbook for why’s Poignant Guide to #Ruby — now with more foxes and 🥓 chunky bacon.
Where #Rubyists scribble, foxes frolic, and code is never quite what you expect.

So @adamwiggins left a note in the 📔 book
> Keep up the Ruby-ing!
Heroku and #Ruby go together like foxes and cleverness. Did you know #Heroku was born as a Ruby platform? In the early days, it was only for #Rubyists — #Rails and #gems, blocks & foxes, all running wild in the cloud.

In 2024 @fxn left a note in the #guestbook that feels like 🌅 a sunrise over a quiet dojo:
> Zen and Ruby came to the West from Japan.
> They enlighten us like gem reflections in daylight. — Xavier

Turned to Page 21 and found a splash of colour—a 🇧🇷 Brazilian flag! (Thanks, @fernandes). Beside it, in letters that look like they’re dancing, he wrote:

Found a chat between two foxes—just hanging out, like they own the place (and honestly, they do). Here’s what @andycroll, the wizard behind @brightonruby, scribbled:
> A: Go to Brighton Ruby. It’s really fun!
> B: I dunno, seems like we shouldn’t.
They’ll probably say “no” at first, bu…

Who let the 🐰 rabbit in the bar?
In the 📖 guestbook (which is really just why’s poignant guide to Ruby pretending to be a guestbook—shhh!) I also found this #gem from @arkham:

Hey you!
Just flipped open the guestbook to the second page.
There, like a little post-it stuck to a monitor with a glob of code glue, @eileencodes left a note at @rubyunconf:
> Happy (Rails) coding! Nice to see you at Ruby UnConf 2024!

There, right at the front, just beneath the title and those gentle words that whisper who’s behind this masterpiece of a book (it’s why the lucky stiff, in case you’re still curious), you’ll find a little note from @matz addressed to why:

> I miss you, why!
