Ruby Jam: A Monthly Meetup for the Ruby Programming Language in Taiwan 💎
AI & techProductCareers
Ruby Jam is a monthly technical meetup that provides a platform for the Ruby community to connect, learn, and grow. Featured Theme 🚂 Hotwire Native Field Notes: The Real Challenge Starts After Hello World 🚂 Hotwire Native lets Rails developers ship iOS and Android apps from an existing website without learning React Native or Flutter. But most tutorials stop at "load a webpage in a WebView" — actually building an app that feels usable surfaces a whole set of problems the tutorials never cover: how Bridge Components turn a webview's hamburger menu into a native menu, what else you can do with the native header, and how each tab under a Tab Bar manages its own navigation stack, among other things. This talk walks through my real experience implementing Hotwire Native in a Rails project — the gap between "following a tutorial to get a working shell" and "building an app with a complete, navigable experience," and the details and pitfalls I had to fill in along the way. I'll also share the real technical conflicts I ran into — and how I resolved them — as a Rails developer crossing into the native iOS world (Swift / SwiftUI). This talk is for Rails developers curious about Hotwire Native who want to go deeper into the implementation details.

Breathwork Demystified - From the Trading Floor to the Freediving World Championships
CareersWellness & sportImpact & sustainability
Breathwork is having its moment. Much like yoga went mainstream in the 1990s, breathwork is rapidly gaining popularity. But what exactly is breathwork? The term itself tells us surprisingly little. Some techniques help us relax, others energize us, and still others can produce profound physical and emotional experiences. How can practices with such different effects all fall under the same name? Join Ray Ko, former cash equity sales trader, competitive freediver and breathwork instructor, for an interactive workshop that takes you from the trading floor to the Freediving World Championships. Using footage from his World Championships dive, Ray will take you through his competition day, exploring how he uses different breathing techniques to energize himself in the morning, manage nerves and relax before his dive, and prepare for the extraordinary demands of holding his breath deep underwater. Along the way, he'll introduce his own framework for understanding three different approaches to breathwork: activating, regulating and functional breathing. You'll also discover why CO₂ is one of the most misunderstood gases in your body and how it influences your breathing, oxygen delivery and response to stress. This isn't just a talk. You'll get to experience the techniques yourself, including energizing breathwork, coherent breathing for everyday relaxation and a simple functional breathing exercise. You'll leave with a better understanding of what breathwork actually is, why different techniques produce different effects, and how to choose the right practice for your needs. No previous breathwork experience required. Participation is free with registration. Please support the venue by purchasing a beverage.
