February - Passkeys and AI

Come along to Ruby Wellington - it's a chance to learn together then share some pizza and a drink together!

Everyone is welcome - whether you're just starting out or a seasoned professional! While we're primarily a Ruby/Rails meetup, many of the topics will be applicable to all tech stacks.

Host
This year we're being hosted by Hnry.

Hnry is New Zealand's largest tax automation and accounting service, just for sole traders - like a business account and an accountant that also pays your taxes. They have a Wellington based engineering team and are currently hiring for roles at various levels, as well as being keen to hear expressions of interest from great people!

About Ruby Wellington
Ruby Wellington (formally known as Wellrailed, Wellington-Rails) is a Wellington, New Zealand based tech meetup which has been part of the community for well over 10 years! Wellington is home to many companies who use Ruby so we're doing bi-monthly meetups hosted by a different company.
