Yes. It was hard to envision up front the entire journey. I have learned over the years, there needs to be a belief in the journey and you can find your way to the goals. Many hurdles come up however, if you know going forward is the only option then you always find a way. Either engineering and many times even how you envision the product itself!

do you staff a separate team @eileencodes or is this kind of a swarming thing that happens when upgrades are required

Depends on the app and company. We have a team, but for Ruby 2.7 we did a swarm and updated 10 apps at once.

Hi @abd3721 - We had just shy of 2,000 registrants for DOES US. Not all registrants sign onto or use Slack, which I know is surprising! Weโ€™ve been using Slack at our conferences for three years (six conferences). As you can imagine, Slack traffic has increased a lot this year!
