Topics

Practical Use of Postgres Views in Rails

This talk will cover the basics of creating and managing views, integrating them with ActiveRecord models, and using updatable views and incrementally materialized views.

Language Gotchas for Non-Linguists

Tentative outline:

  • Why .split(“ “) and .join(“ “) are almost never correct.
  • Why you are greeting some of your customers incorrectly
  • How to interpolate strings without having broken grammar
  • Around the world in Unicode punctuation
  • The evil that is <p dir=“auto”>
  • Known pain points of Amazon / Google / DeepL translation APIs
  • When to use AI, when to use a language algorithm

I have always been passionate about both languages and programming, so I studied computational linguistics. My first Ruby on Rails job was in 2008. Since then I have worked on a wide variety of projects, from machine translation to Duolingo clones, and even some stereotypical Rails applications like social networks. Currently I work for CaptionHub.
