15 years of #Rails + DDD — and why those lessons matter more than ever now that AI agents write code. @andrzejkrzywda on small read models, domains & processes, kept honest by Packwerk, RuboCop & Mutant.

Five lightning talks, five minutes each, one clap-off rule ⚡ @chikahirotokoro , @lreszke, @callmesangio, @RadanSkoric & @pragdave on OSS strategy, event sourcing, a lovable URL shortener, a Hotwire inspector, and picjs.

"You're not writing Ruby right now. You're writing C++ with a Ruby syntax."
@pragdave closed #RubyConfAT 2026 with a challenge: classes are evil, your job class is just a function, and ActiveRecord::Base's 834 methods are not an "is-a" relationship.

What's inside the chest? About €3,000 worth of reasons to stay in Vienna one extra day.

Real chest. Real prizes. Real adventure through Vienna.
Attendees only. Grab your conference ticket and book that extra night.
The treasure hunt activity is officially sponsored by @gitbutler ⧓ ♥️
