Ruby Argentina opened its 2026 meetup season at Eryx’s office in Buenos Aires, and the night set the tone quickly: pay attention to Ruby’s warnings, then make room for a few lightning talks.
The event kicked off with Ariel Juodziukynas’ talk “Warnings en Ruby: NO LOS IGNORES!!!”. Ariel focused on an easy part of everyday Ruby work to ignore: warnings. His talk was a reminder that the yellow text in our terminal often points to real problems. He showed practical examples of common warnings and how to fix them.
After Ariel’s talk, we took a break to catch up, meet new people, and keep the conversations going over drinks and empanadas.
The lightning talks took the night in a looser direction:
- Simon shared how he fixed a tricky performance issue with a fulltext search, walking us through his debugging process and the solution he found.
- Viktor presented aj, a tool he built to improve his AI workflow, showing how Ruby developers can build utilities to streamline their daily work.
- Santiago taught us “how to do juggling”. Yes, actual juggling with balls, not code.
- Ariel came back for a second round with “how to tie your shoes”. It was even better watching everyone try Ariel’s method on the spot.
Thanks to the organizers, the sponsors (SINAPTIA, Rootstrap, Ombulabs, and Eryx), and everyone who showed up. We’re already looking forward to April’s online meetup.
