In this episode, Bobbilee, a pivotal figure in the Rails community, shares the inspiring journey behind Rails Camp West. Bobbilee talks about the origins and motivations for creating Rails Camp West, rooted in her experiences at big tech conferences and her desire to create a more intimate, laid-back environment for tech enthusiasts.
