It’s almost time for our talk today! #RubyConfMini

In 1959, 30-50% of computer programmers were women. In 1971, that number dropped to 14%. Then in 1986, it jumped back up to 36%, that number falling ever since. @rose_w #RubyConfMini #ruby #leadership #womenintech

Want to use Crystal alongside a C library? "Stupid easy," says @wyhaines. That's why it's great for game development! #RubyConfMini #CrystalLang #gamedevelopment

We're happy to announce #RubyConfMini :partying_face: Taking place in Providence, RI on Nov 15-17 @rubyconfmini will be another option for rubyists who don't feel comfortable traveling to #RubyConf2022 in TX. Learn more here

"Tests are designed to fail." @jardonamron A passing test doesn't tell you the code is right, it tells you it's not broken. #RubyConfMini #TDD #TestDrivenDevelopment

"For every Ruby class, there's something called an RClass structure." This contains method definitions, instance-level attribute names, a pointer to a superclass (which allows inheritance), and constants. @nodunayo #RubyConfMini

Thank you for Insightful discussions handling complexities #RubyFriends #RubyConfMini @fitovonzastrow @aridlehoover . Looking forward to your talk-

Lessons learned from @wyhaines's "Crystal for Rubyists" presentation: – Ruby is interpreted. Crystal is compiled. – Crystal does have type inference. – Concurrency looks very different between Ruby and Crystal. Whereas Ruby opts to use Fibers, Threads, and Ractors,... 1/2

Crystal mimics the way Go handles concurrency. – Ruby libraries are called Gems, Crystal libraries are called Shards. – Crystal uses testing libraries called Spec and Minitest. (Guess where the inspo for those came from. 😉) #RubyConfMini @CrystalLanguage 2/2

Just gotta say, I’m feeling really grateful for #RubyConfMini this week.

Today @jeremysmithco is teaching us how to go solo! His advice: steal! (In a nice way.) 😉 #RubyConfMini #StealLikeAnArtist

A question from the crowd: "Can you say more on the importance about building up some F-U money?" 🤣🤣🤣 @lindzlady says saving money is always a good thing! Whether you're planning to quit or just want it for an emergency fund, have a stash. 💰 #financialsecurity #RubyConfMini

Now that I am waiting to board my flight to Houston, I can't help think about the great experience everyone had at #RubyConfMini a little over a week ago. It was one of the best conference experiences I've had and here is why: 🧵

Finally, I need to do a special shout-out to all the folks that attended the conference. They brought such a great energy with them and were so open to talk and connect with others, that it made the experience that much more special. Ruby has an amazing community, indeed.

To wrap up, thank you to @JemmaIssroff for her determination & hard-work, to @EMGSamp for her stamina & passion, to @andycroll for his expertise & guidance, and to all who attended/spoke at the conference. #RubyConfMini was most definitely a special once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Speaker @nodunayo, or should I say Dee Bug 😆, wants to know: Do you do partial git commits? My advice: If not, you should start! Check out this article to learn how: #RubyConfMini #Git #GitCommits
