That's a wrap!
Thanks everyone for joining us for a virtual #NoRuKo unconference!
#NoRuKo is a virtual mini-conference filling a bit of the void all the cancelled and postponed events created. The name is a play on the biggest European Ruby Conference, "EuRuKo", which we organized last year. It's been quiet in the Ruby world in terms of online events, with a few (great!!) exceptions.
There is no registration required! The event is free, so no tickets!

Building Rubyfmt
by Penelope Phippen
|
| In this talk I'll discuss Rubyfmt, a work in progress Ruby autoformatter. Why I'm building it, and how it differs from Rubocop, the closest similar tool that you might be familiar with. I'll get deep in to the weeds on some of the technical challenges of building a system like this, and what the overall goals for the project are. | |

Sleeping on the job
by Julik Tarkhanov & Kir Shatrov
|
| We all love our Sidekiq’s and our Resque’s. But they do let us down sometimes. Not because they are bad, but because the queueing theory is limiting us. There is a way to break out of the madness though - let’s explore how to get our job queues under control. | |

Fantastic Passwords and Where to Find Them
by Phil Nash
|
| The humble password is broken. The internet is littered with poor security practices and password breaches, but the world is not ready to go password free yet. So what can we do to protect our users? Let's take a look at how we currently protect passwords, at what we can throw away from those processes and what we can bring in to help strengthen our users' passwords. We'll investigate the tools, practices and APIs that can help us in this endeavour. Together we can move the world from *password1* to *correct horse battery staple* and beyond! | |

Type Checking with Sorbet
by Ali Ilman

| If you enjoy building projects using TypeScript, you probably wish you could build Ruby projects with a type checker. I've been in that boat! Recently, I stumbled upon Sorbet, a well-maintained type checker for Ruby. In this talk, we'll take a look at how we can use Sorbet. | |

The struggle for better documentation (for Ruby itself)
by Victor Shepelev
|
| Ruby is known to be "complex language for writing simple code" and "designed to make programmers happy". Yet while those principles are fully embodied in the language spirit and logic, the documentation is traditionally more problematic, especially for newcomers who are already programming-literate and expect a quick and deep dive. Let's talk about several aspects of language and standard library documentation, its history, current state, and the future, expectations it should ideally meet and some unfortunate road bumps. | |

Learning Empathy From Pokemon Blue
by Sian Griffin
|
| Have you ever looked at a bug and wondered why it actually happens? It's easy to chalk it up to sloppy coding but that's almost never the case. In this talk we'll be dissecting a exploit from Pokemon Blue known as the "Missingno" glitch. We'll look at the details of each of the seemingly random bugs behind this exploit. We'll look at why these bugs happened, and the lessons we can apply to our Ruby code more than 20 years later. | |
