Andrew Mason.

Ruby on Rails engineer at Podia , co-host of Remote Ruby , and based in Arizona.

I've been doing the Rails thing for about a decade, from full-stack product features to fast CI and developer tooling to the billing and data migrations underneath. Most of what I figure out along the way ends up written down here.

You'll find my writing , open source , and talks and podcasts here. Mostly so I can find them again later.

We Are the Ruby Community

Many developers feel like observers of the Ruby community rather than participants in it. This talk reframes what community actually means, breaks down the invisible barriers that make people feel like they don't belong, and shows practical ways anyone can participate right away. The goal is to show that the Ruby community isn't something you join, it's something you help create.
