RailsConf2022 boasts an exciting variety of tracks and talks that highlight the creativity and interdisciplinary nature of the Ruby community. As a tech sector newcomer, I thought it would be fun to curate a series highlighting talks that immediately captured my curiosity, and get to know their respective speakers a little better. Read on for today’s speaker spotlight…

### Title of Talk:

The pitfalls of realtime-ification

### Speaker: Vladimir Dementyev

### How Did you get into Ruby?

I was looking for an alternative tech to rebuild my product, and found an online course titled “Building SaaS web applications with Ruby on Rails”. That was a match.

### What’s your favorite part about working on Open Source Software?

An ability to share my work/thoughts with others, making something useful not just for myself (or my company), but everyone.

### What’s your least favorite part about working on OSS?

Lack of feedback when everything behaves as expected; you mostly hear from people when there are issues with your software.

### What inspired you to give this talk?

I realized that since the Rails 7 and Hotwire release, more and more people started asking me similar questions on how to properly design real-time features (chats or whatever). After yet another conversation I just sat down and wrote the outline of the talk.

### What do you want people to take away from it?

The answers. The solutions. The understanding that simply dropping Hotwire/Action Cable to the stack and using awesome Rails abstractions is not enough, you should do a paradigm shift.

### What are you most looking forward to at this conference?

Finally meeting people of meat and bones, of course.

### Do you have any other plans in Portland during conference week that you’re excited about?

Unfortunately, I’m coming only for the conference. I plan to get around the city, learn as much as possible about it and its surroundings to come back later with my family.

### Thank you, Vladimir, for sharing a bit of your story. See you at RailsConf2022!
