Comments on: Rails Summit Latin America http://blog.codevader.com/2008/10/17/rails-summit-latin-america/ Thoughts from the nice people at Codevader :) Sat, 19 May 2012 20:20:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Helder Ribeiro http://blog.codevader.com/2008/10/17/rails-summit-latin-america/#comment-642 Helder Ribeiro Mon, 20 Oct 2008 01:54:04 +0000 http://blog.codevader.com/?p=63#comment-642 I also thought the talks were a bit shallow. The first day was mostly "motivational" (although this isn't completely bad: it actually motivated me to write my first small OS contribution entirely during a conference :). At the end of the day there was the Birds of a Feather with the Phusion guys, showing how to write a Brainfuck interpreter/code-generator in Ruby. This brought a bit of the hacker spirit back, and it made me happy :) But since this was the first one, I think they wanted to have a more introductory approach. Let's hope for more 'hacker' content in the next installment :) I also thought the talks were a bit shallow.
