Opening Keynote
summary
Argues that Ruby on Rails was built as a gift economy under the MIT license as altruism, not a market contract, and that Rails actually works — powering multiple $20‑billion businesses and billions in commerce — so the “tragedy of the commons” framing is wrong. Uses concrete examples (Shopify, Twitter, OpenSSL), cites ~13 years of conference history, and even declares a jubilee on imagined debts; watch for philosophy and history of open source, not code demos.
