Ruby Heroes Awards
summary
Conference hands out six community awards backed by numbers and projects: 397 nominations, a contributor graph showing 10,946 commits vs Matt’s 3,758, repeated rapid MRI patches earning the moniker MRI patch monster, plus maintainers of Sequel, miniprofiler and Ruby bench, the Ruby documentation project, and RailsBridge. Each citation names the actual work done (bug fixes, deprecations, doc commits, benchmarks) and the tangible result—fewer open issues, faster Rails 4.2, and reproducible tooling—so decide by the concrete outcomes.
