Jim Remsik has lived on the bleeding edge (but also the heart’s center) of the Ruby world for decades. This fall, he’s organizing six (yes, SIX) XO Ruby confs all around the United States.

On this episode, Jim joins us to reminisce about the early days of Ruby and Rails, share what he’s learned from so many years of organizing events, and invite all of us to join him on his upcoming 7500 mile road trip.
