We are excited to bring you the special edition of the SF Bay Area Ruby meetup, hosted by the most iconic startup accelerator and venture capital firm in the world, Y Combinator.
YC Partner Jared Friedman is going to give an opening talk about the history of software at YC: how they chose Rails, who the first checkin to the codebase was, why Bookface is a YC founder’s secret weapon, and how Rails powers everything from YC applications, Work at a Startup and even YC’s internal calendaring systems.
We’ll also have 5 talks from YC founders sharing their novel uses of Ruby in the wild — and how it’s not the Ruby you tried out 10+ years ago. These will look more like tech talks from technical founders, and we want to bring together rubyists excited to nerd out about Ruby for a night. (And many of these companies will be hiring — including YC Software hiring for Rails-gurus ourself!)
The event is hosted by YC at their new headquarters in SF, with dinner and refreshments provided as well.
If you have any questions about the event, please reach out to Irina at inazarova@evilmartians.com
