@ruby_african One week ago, the Maai Room was full of Ruby devs.
It wasn't just talks. It was a shift.
This weekend, we're showing you what that looked like, in their own words. 👀

Thank you #AfricanRubyConf Nairobi for having me. It was a great time
🔥 What happens when we stop celebrating movement and start questioning direction?
That was the challenge from Sanmi Amos at #AfricanRubyConf Nairobi.
His session went beyond Ruby. It was about how we build technology that actually survives and creates value in Africa.

Really enjoyed this one. Ruby has more to offer beyond Rails, and Paul made a strong case for exploring Hanami and choosing the right framework for what you’re building. 🔥
Paul Ogudah @Kamalogudah opened the third session at RubyConf Africa 2026 with a look at Ruby web development, from Rails to Sinatra, Roda and Hanami.
The focus was Hanami and its approach to maintainability, dependency injection, separation of concerns and testability.
The key lesson: Ruby offers more than one framework, and the right choice depends on the architecture and needs of your application.

@khasinski what are you doing without Passports? You’re an ambassador 💪

Really enjoyed Francis’ session.
AI can do a lot, but you still need to know what you’re doing. The bit about context, strong fundamentals, and staying curious really stood out.
Francis Karuri @fh_ndiritu explored the shift from traditional software development to AI-assisted engineering at RubyConf Africa 2026.
His key message: AI is only as good as the context you give it.
Strong fundamentals still matter, and AI should be used where it makes sense, not simply because it is available.
Looking ahead, Francis sees a future of self-healing applications that can detect, fix and continuously improve themselves.
His advice? Be curious.

Semantic everything. 👏
Chris gave us a solid look at what’s possible when Ruby meets embeddings and AI. Smarter apps, better performance, and fewer tokens. 🔥
Chris Hasinski @khasinski took us into the world of embeddings and semantic intelligence in Ruby, showing how applications can understand more than just exact words.
From semantic caching with local models to detecting whether images are AI-generated, Chris demonstrated how embeddings can make AI applications smarter and more efficient.
The result? Fewer tokens, lower costs, better performance.
His takeaway: Semantic everything.

Super proud of one of our organizers @fh_ndiritu giving his first talk at #RubyConfAfrica, giving us nuggets about the use of AI as devs.

Ruby on the backend, native experiences on the frontend.
Mike Dalton showed us what’s possible with Hotwire Native , practical, simple, and very Ruby. 😎
Mike Dalton @kcdragon_ of Triumph and Philly.rb gave a practical introduction to Hotwire and Hotwire Native at RubyConf Africa 2026.
Using his Calendar Vision app, he showed how Ruby developers can build modern native experiences while leveraging a Ruby backend.
The key lesson: understand your platforms and product requirements first, then choose the technology.
