Long overdue to blog about this, as I found out a few weeks ago now. Amazing but true: I'm speaking at Railsconf. I got invited to participate in a very non-conventional presentation with Joe O'Brien and Jim Weirich, two guys I respect enormously. We're presenting a dialogue between several developers on modeling. It's actually proving very challenging to write, as coming up with enough things for the characters to say in 50 minutes is a lot of text. But what an opportunity. All in all, the prospect of sharing the stage with Jim and Joe has me feeling a little like this.
