👪 in person meeting alert 👪

September was a success, and we have a willing venue host, so we're having another in person event. This time we're being hosted by the lovely folk at Cleo in their offices, on Shoreditch High St. Full venue and registration details are given below.

Agenda

How to be completely ignorant

Paul Battley says:

How much does a bit of code need to know to do its job? I'll show how I transformed a bit of complicated, untested, flaky, and poorly understood code into something pleasant to deal with and easy to test by applying the principle of making it know as little as possible.

The long road to ruby 3 vs. the short road to ruby 3.1

Murray Steele says:

I'll share how the team at Cleo meticulously planned and delivered the upgrade to ruby 3.0 on our rails app so smoothly that we became drunk on our own competence and totally messed up our upgrade to ruby 3.1 the following week. A rare talk where you will learn some best and worst practices.

Afterwards

After the talks we'll avoid outstaying our welcome with our hosts and move on to a local pub to grab some food and drinks and to talk over what we've heard from our speakers.
