       Join YC's Ruby Meetup on August 13th at Our New SF Headquarters
        
       YC is co-hosting a Ruby Meetup on August 13th to bring together
       fellow rubyists! We'll have tech talks from YC founders sharing
       their novel uses of Ruby in the wild -- and how it's not the Ruby
       you tried 10+ years ago.  Speakers so far:  - Jared Friedman (YC
       Group Partner & Scribd, S06) will give an opening talk about the
       history of software at YC: how we chose Rails, who wrote the first
       MR to our codebase, why Bookface is a YC founder's secret weapon,
       and how Rails powers all of YC.  - Daniel Farina (Ubicloud, W24)
       has been building infrastructure control planes in Ruby for 13
       years - first at Heroku and now at Ubicloud. Daniel will share some
       war stories, as well as his five favorite "features" that make Ruby
       particularly powerful for building infrastructure code.  - Kelsey
       Pedersen (Capsule, S22) built Capsule on a V1 vector database with
       Rails, Postgres and Active Record with the PGVector plugin. She's
       happy to share learnings at pitfalls, as well as how she uses
       webhooks and rakes to automate workflows and help keep the team
       small.  - Keith Schacht (Mystery.org, S17) started coding Ruby in
       '05, and is still at it -- building ChatGPT in Rails (vs Python)
       and keeping up with stimulus, new morphing, and Turbo Native. He'll
       do some live coding of these new features, and wants to hear what
       you think!  We'll be providing dinner & refreshments for attendees,
       and there will be ample opportunity to meet with speakers, folks
       from YC and network as well.  Also note: many YC companies are
       hiring for ruby engineers -- including Y Combinator's Software
       Team. Ask us about open roles!  If you're interested, please RSVP
       below to join us -- we have limited capacity, but we'll try to get
       as many Rubyistas in the room as possible.

       have questions, and hope to see you at our new SF office!
