This talk is about demystifying Rails validators! It talks about validators, which is good, but focuses on demystifying Rails, which is better! Delivered at Blue Ridge Ruby in 2024.
I am very excited for today’s episode! Twitch is a livestreaming service where users can stream themselves to the internet. Twitch is known for video game streaming. But, people stream all kinds of things, including software development. Today’s guest is Rachael Wright-Munn who livestreams Rails development on Twitch.

Rachael Wright-Munn (ChaelCodes) joins to talk everything from coding games to RubyConf to App Store policies.
Rachael Wright-Munn (ChaelCodes) talks about her love of programming games (games with programming elements in them, not how to make games!), starting her streaming career with regex crosswords, and how streaming games and open source every week led her to a voice acting role in one of her favorite programming games.
Recorded at RubyConf 2023 in San Diego.
As a content creator, I love the look and feel of “link in bio” pages.
They’re such an easy and mobile-friendly way to share various social medias and projects.
However, as a developer, I am frankly offended at the idea of needing a SAAS app to create a static page of links.
The idea of paying for such a service, or sharing my page with their branding is simply abhorrent.
Thankfully I have a Jekyll site and the ability to create <a> tags, so I’m able to avoid that dismal fate.❤️
git add . sets you up for failure, and it’s most prevalent in the community that it’s worst suited for: git beginners. Fixing a commit with unwanted changes in it is significantly harder than being intentional about what you commit to begin with. This article will go over how to make intentional commits, and then discuss the most common examples where I see git add . trip up developers.
The Fibonacci Shawl is a gorgeous design that attempts to express Fibonacci’s sequence through yarn. Each stripe of color represents a number from Fibonacci’s sequence.
Relicans host, Kirk Haines, talks to former Relican, Chael Wright-Munn, about how programming is just as human as art, poetry, and music where you’re following certain rules and certain conventions to create something that didn’t exist before, making habits and systems versus trying to keep things in your head, and how she feels about the Rust programming languages compared to other languages.
Most folks get stuck in open-source on one of the three following barriers:
Getting Started
Building the PR on a Forked Repo
Managing feelings around the review process
I want to remove those barriers for you, and give you a realistic view of how to contribute to open-source projects, and get your PRs merged.
Relicans host, Rachael Wright-Munn, talks to Application Architect at Calendly, Dmitry Pashkevich, about his experiences breaking up a Rails Monolith and his recent talk about “Contract-Driven API Development.”
