" summary

Panel covers concrete ways to grow Ruby teams: use pair programming and a buddy/onboarding system, give juniors tickets within reach and early chances to lead inter‑team communication, and run lightweight code previews before PRs. Address diversity with bootcamps and meetups so people see role models. Tooling note: claim that GitHub Copilot makes people ~30% faster at coding (about 15% across tasks), which a 500‑engineer org equates to roughly 75 extra developers. Practical remote tips: cameras on, regular in‑person meetups.
