We recorded an episode of the Bulgarian ГИТИ podcast about Balkan Ruby, Ruby Banitsa, the Bulgarian Ruby community, and the benefits of contributing to open-source software (OSS). Thank you, Radoslav Georgiev, for this conversation. youtu.be/6i4lhD7IWU0?...

I loved this talk when I saw it at Balkan Ruby, and this thread about Jeremy’s process to create it and how to approach talk preparation is just fantastic 🙇🏻‍♀️ I strongly recommend both. I really look up to him, his talks are some of the clearest, best structured, conducted and delivered I’ve seen! 🤩
