Lightning talks & city pitches
summary
Four five-minute updates: migrating dozens of Sinatra endpoints to Grape + grape-swagger for inline parameter validation and exported docs while using Rack::Cascade to migrate endpoint-by-endpoint without downtime; a facilitation tip that a single lighthearted stand-up question (from the Equal Experts card pack) surfaces communication gaps and builds psychological safety; concrete CLI patterns using Thor plus the TTY toolkit for spinners and progress feedback; and practical junior onboarding: pair programming, clear first-success tasks, mentors and staged learning.
