Agenda
An event-sourced programming model for Ruby
Ismael Celis says:
Exploring how Event Sourcing and Ruby can provide a cohesive programming model where auditable data, durable workflows and reactive UIs are the default.
Mistakes were made, and definitely by me
Andy Croll says:
CoverageBook is a decade-old Rails codebase which has seen at least one full internal rewrite.
Let’s have a walk through of perfectly “reasonable” decisions we made at the time that we’re now unravelling, and the new Rails-y-ness we’re using as we do it.
Practical AI in Ruby: What LLMs Can (and Can’t) Do For Your Projects Today
Lorenzo Barasti says:
A no-nonsense exploration of integrating LLM capabilities into Ruby applications using ruby_llm and similar libraries, highlighting real-world use cases without the Silicon Valley hyperbole.
Afterwards
When the talks come to an end we’ll decamp to a local pub for some food, some drinks and some chat with your fellow attendees.
Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the meeting and covered by our code of conduct.
Venue & Registration
Prior to attending you should familiarise yourself with our README paying close attention to the code of conduct which applies to all attendees.
Secure your place
Hopefully you all remember that physical meetings involve finite space and so to be guaranteed entry you need to register via ticket tailor.
