Care and Feeding of Ruby Developers
summary
Conference notes claim Ruby community treats visual aesthetics as core, uses Rails and cutting‑edge gems so implementers also plan features, and runs tight feedback loops where good work gets rapid adoption and bad work quickly becomes irrelevant. Collaboration is baked in across cities (examples: Dallas, Scotland) and organizations, delivering value as services rather than selling code. Example artifacts: TuneUp visuals, PeepCode-paid video gear. Expect a close locus of control for developers and rapid iteration cycles.
