Like at most previous editions, DHH delivered a keynote at RailsConf 2017. This year he spoke on the importance of belong to a group, programmer values, and belief systems.

What I find great about DHH's talk is that is a positive approach to the values of Ruby community. He doesn't say that the other communities are bad, or lesser then them.
