This past year has been one of the most challenging years in recent memory. The pandemic has taken a toll, including on children. Adults used their professional skills to help make the year a little better for the kids in our lives: Therapists counseled, entertainers delighted, teachers educated... and Rails developers developed! In this talk, I'll share the apps I built on Rails that helped my kids and me cope, celebrate and persevere through the year. In 2020, tech was pivotal in keeping us going, and for my kids, Rails made the year a little more manageable.
