Description
No one likes working on Rails upgrades, and who can blame them? They can be thankless, time-consuming, and—worst of all—unpredictable. Instead of living in fear of the big, scary Rails upgrade, your team can set up systems for incremental change that allow for continuous feature work, predictable results, and seamless transitions to the next upgrade. In this talk, Ali Ibrahim shares his refined approach to Rails upgrades, implemented at several organizations, to help you burn down uncertainty and boldly go into your next Rails upgrade.
