Brilliant recap of @friendlyrb.com, especially if you (like the writer) have been a skeptic of the value of travelling to conferences:

New Experiences at Friendly.rb

A conference can be so much more than just its talks. These were my experiences at Friendly.rb, as a once-skeptic.

That’s the second stop of the #rubytriathlon over. @friendlyrb.com was amazing, such a welcoming and inclusive conference that lives up to its name. Looking forward to @euruko.org this week!

Fun fact about @friendlyrb.com - no matter how low social skills you have, you end up hugging with dozens of people and saying "see you next year" 🤗

Magnificent work @adrianthedev.com @lucianghinda.com @jakob.codefrwd.com @stefancosma.xyz @alexmarinescu.com 👏

do you like learning about how to accidentally delete your production database? I just gave a talk at
@friendlyrb.com about how SQLite creates new ways to cause outages, and you can read the blog post version here andre.arko.net/2025/09/11/r...

Rails on SQLite: exciting new ways to cause outages

This post was originally given as a talk for Friendly.rb. The slides are also available. Between Litestack and the Rails 8 trifecta of Solid Cable, Solid Cache, and Solid Queue, it’s easier than ever ...

Somehow I ended up winning @jakob.codefrwd.com ‘s Friendly show at @friendlyrb.com yesterday 🤣 I got a zillion of bags of pufuleti (an airy corn snack v similar to Spanish gusanitos) as the prize 🤣 I managed to give all of them away! To conf participants and random people at the after party bar 🍻

I’ve completely lost my voice after the two days of @friendlyrb.com 🤣 This is the 2nd time in my life this happens. The first time was a year ago right after @friendlyrb.com 🤣 This time at least Rails World came first so I could give my talk with voice! Is this enough proof of how epic Friendly is?🥹
