    The Selfish Programmer

Using Ruby at work is great… but sometimes it feels like a job!
This year, I rediscovered the joy of writing Ruby apps for nobody but myself—and you should, too! Solo development is a great way to learn skills, to find inspiration, and to distill what matters most about programming.
Building an entire app by yourself can be overwhelming, but this talk will make it easier. We'll start with a minimal toolset that one person can maintain. You'll learn how many "bad" coding practices can actually reduce complexity. You may be surprised how selfish coding can make you a better team member, too!

Interview Day
- Set and communicate a schedule (“two-three hours, no laptop needed, we will get lunch, no need to dress up”)
- Set expectations (“we will be writing some code together”)
- Have a diverse set of interviewers
- Allow for breaks

Make a game plan
- assign areas of focus (you do SQL, I’ll do OO)

                RubySpec is dead, long live RubySpec!
              
          
    Last night, Brian Shirai unilaterally "ended" the RubySpec project, a sub-project of Rubinius (the alternative Ruby implementation which Brian was paid to work on full-time from 2007 to 2013). The blog post describing his reasons for "ending" the project led to a big discussion on Hacker News.
When a single, competing Ruby implementation tells that you its test suite is the One True Way, you should be skeptical. Charles Nutter, Ruby core committer and JRuby head honcho, spent a lot of time last night on Twitter talking to people about what this decision means. He's probably too busy and certainly too nice of a guy to write about what is a political issue in the Ruby community, so I'm going to do it on behalf of all the new or intermediate Rubyists out there that are confused by Brian's decision and what it me

    Hi.
I'd like tell you about a matter that is quite personal but will result in some changes in the way I present myself and interact with the commnunity.
I am transgender.
I have known that my body did not match my internal gender since I was a very small child, but I kept those feelings hidden and did my best to make my life work with the body I was born into. The result was chronic stress, physical and psychological pain, and a severe depression that culminated in an acute crisis in October of 2012. At that time I entered psychotherapy to explore my options.
I was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, the treatment for which includes psychotherapy, hormonal treatments and potentially several surgeries. I have been working with my therapist and doctors, following the Standards of Care that set out treatment guidelines for my condition.
