Just A Ruby Minute
summary
A live game adapts Just A Minute to Ruby: contestants must hold a topic for 60 seconds with no hesitation repetition or deviation, opponents press buzzers to challenge and score points; rounds name concrete subjects—user stories (Pivotal Tracker, JIRA), regex (Rubular/rubeola), microservices (Cloud Foundry, Kafka, Kinesis), Stack Overflow, startup ideas—and the crowd noise, timed buzzer outcomes and running point totals decide what lands as insight versus comedy.
