PSA to my fellow #nerds who like #programming in @ruby and/or #webprogramming who would also like to visit CERN in #geneva — the place where @timbl invented the #web.

And keep in mind that @helvetic_ruby is switching places each year. So if you'd like to have this combo then 2025 is the year for you.
