I just got home from Sin City Ruby 2022 with lots of great new content to share with all of you! I want to give a big shoutout to Jason Swett for putting on a fantastic conference, my favorite one to date. Also a big shoutout to all the speakers and attendees who made the conference a great time for all. Hope to see some of you at RailsConf 2022 soon!
