19:30 〜 20:00 Gradually Typing Ruby with RBS - Nemo Oudeis

When I joined Moneytree I had to learn an organically-grown, 10-year-old codebase. I had tests, I had a language server & IDE to help me understand the code. But it just wasn’t enough, I longed for the help of static types that I’ve grown to love languages like Kotlin and TypeScript.

In this talk I’ll share how I brought static typing with RBS to a mature ruby code base. From “hello world 🎉” to “hello real world 🤯” (aka or “why doesn’t this work?! 👿”).

After attending this talk you will know if RBS is a good fit for you and know how to start using it.

20:00 〜 20:30 Decorating Gems - Paulo D'Alberti

Gems are an intrinsic part of Ruby development, but sometimes we would like to modify a small part of the code to better match our needs. Decoration is one of the strategies that can be employed to achieve this goal, and this presentation will show how to use it, as well as discuss pros and cons.
