I don't tend to write but since I've been adding to my site slowly I thought I'd write a little something about #brightonruby run by @andycroll.bsky.social

5km post-conference swim done at the wonderful Sea Lanes pool in Brighton. It’s not the only reason I come to #BrightonRuby but it’s a lovely bonus.

I was under the cutoff time for the 5km event in August and that included a lane change, slower swimmers, and being told off by the lifeguard 😬

Ahhh #brightonruby was epic! I had the best time!
- I went on stage to talk about theoretical computer science and people didn’t hate it! (or if they did, they haven’t told me 😆)

- laughed so much and …

Went to my first Ruby conference and #brightonruby is really great, predictably great people, can definitely recommend!
Plus an inspired talk on some logic puzzles by @rosa.codes which gave me such fond memories of formal linguistics. Also that I should read the Agda book I have!

#brightonruby is really one of the best ways to experience the awesomeness of the Ruby community.

I mean, how often can you spend an evening chatting about Japanese girls metal bands, devops, kouign amann and management in a single evening?

Really lovely and restorative day and a bit in Brighton for #brightonruby . Thank you @andycroll for putting on a fantastic event and giving me the excuse to come and catch up with some old ruby friends.

Another lovely and inspiring Brighton Ruby! Interesting talks as always. I also enjoyed the minimalist lanyard approach. Very quick and environmentally friendly! #BrightonRuby

#accessibility is definitely an underrated topic.
I'm glad that @carmemias is raising awareness at @brightonruby.

Interesting (albeit a bit too fast) overview of the Laraval ecosystem at #brightonruby. I wonder if it will give ideas to @amandabrooke.bsky.social , who’ll be on stage soon.

@valeriecodes.bsky.social giving a nice talk on AI in Ruby. It’s fun to have your own levitating emoji! #brightonruby
June 19, 2025 at 11:13 AM
But despite my scepticism on AI hype it's otherwise a very interesting and practical intro to vector search using embeddings/LLM. I do want to play with this tech a lot more! #BrightonRuby
