This talk was presented at RailsConf 2016. It started out as a last-minute substitution from @samphippen (who was sick) to @searls (who was not). Sam was slated to give a talk on RSpec & Rails 5. In this talk, @searls briefly covers the major RSpec updates for 2016 before broadening the scope of the conversation to how developers relate to their tools and then pondering Ruby's tenuous place in the world.

If you think this talk isn't for you, then it's probably for you.

This link jumps to the actual beginning of the talk, skipping the preamble which is mostly specific to RSpec, focusing instead on the crisis the Ruby community currently faces[1] and the opportunity / responsibility the community has to respond.
[1] namely that the shiny newness of M.E.A.N. and Node/React/Angular plus the widely discussed performance challenges of Ruby & Rails have put Ruby + Rails on the back burner in the zeitgeist.
