10. Some of those othe r people I men ti oned…
11. …and they were all nice, because: MINASWAN (Matz is nice, and so we are nice)
12. “Being passionate about technology is something I learned from the Ruby community” — José Valim
13. “I hate writing tests” — Matz
14. I also learned a lot. (and apparently, I do have a good side for photos)
15. “Service Objects are an empty concept; they just do stuff” — Ivan Nemytchenko
16. “ZIRP is dead; smaller teams need to deliver leaner solutions; Rails can help with this” — Piotr Szotkowski
17. “Just use Postgres for everything” — Piotr Szotkowski
18. The Ruby community is generally optimistic about AI.
19. Rails can scale. The database is usually the limiting factor.
20. Microservices are dead. The monolith lives on (even if you have 2,000 engineers).
21. Hotwire is insanely popular. React is absolutely not.
22. Turbo Native is being used a lot in the wild.
23. Most people are sticking to ERB and HTML, rather than ViewComponents or Phlex.
24. Lots of people are excited about Elixir, but almost nobody is planning to abandon Ruby or Rails.
25. The Ruby community is very diverse. If our teams are predominantly white and male, that’s our fault.
26. Open source is not sustainable without sponsorship. (can we do more here?)
27. Euruko 2025 will be held in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Dates TBC. Po rt o
