The Past, Present and Future of UI at GitHub (Joel Hawksley, GitHub)

Remote presentation

Joel Hawksley is a staff software engineer at GitHub, based in Louisville, CO, USA. He's the creator of ViewComponent, a framework for building encapsulated, unit-testable view components in Ruby on Rails.

In his talk, Joel will share reflections from five years of UI architecture at GitHub, focusing on three key lessons: native is the new baseline, design systems are victims of their own success, and frontend costs 10x backend.

What to Expect:

• A remote presentation of about 30-45 minutes followed by a Q&A session,
• Networking with Drinks and Snacks: After the presentation, join us for drinks and snacks. It's the perfect time to mingle, network, and dive deep into discussions about all things Ruby, Rails and more.
• Open to Everyone: Whether you're a seasoned Rubyist, a Rails enthusiast, or just beginning your journey as a developer, we warmly welcome you to join and contribute.
