How 10 years of RailsConf can inform the next 10 years of your career
summary
A personal account traces concrete career moves: built an app in Rails at work, used twitter to find conference contacts, then lands a job after networking. It explains repeated CFP submissions and what reviewers want, and that speaking yields badge-driven conversations. Claims include becoming a Ruby committer and serving on the program committee. Practical steps: advocate for schedule changes, thank maintainers, join meetups and submit proposals; RailsConf ends but RubyConf continues.
