Columbus Ruby Brigade Monthly Meetup

*** We've Moved! Bold Penguin - 6555 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017 ***

Talk by
Todd Nussbaum
LGTM is not a Strategy
Pull requests are where quality is won or lost, and too many teams still treat reviews with a rushed "LGTM". In this talk, you'll learn a practical, repeatable approach to high-quality PR reviews that balances speed with risk management - covering how to triage changes quickly, review in layers, and write comments that lead to better outcomes without friction. We'll also show how QA and developers bring complementary lenses to the same review, turning acceptance criteria, scenarios, and observability into shared responsibility instead of production surprises. You'll leave with a lightweight framework and concrete habits for authors and reviewers that make reviews faster, kinder, and more effective.

AGENDA:

We are a bunch of professionals, students, and geeks who are excited about Ruby programming language (http://ruby-lang.org/) and Rails framework (http://rubyonrails.com/) and the joy they have brought back to web development. Our main goal is to share the love of the Ruby and Rails ecosystems with anyone that is interested. We cater to everyone, whether a non-programmer through advanced Rubyists.

• We give lectures on programming topics
• We freely provide decades worth of experience
