Many of the talks spent time looking back on how far we've come, including Robby Russell's "The Rails Features We Loved, Lost, and Laughed At".

A fantastic feature of Turbo Rails is the ability to broadcast changes to a page. Each connected client can receive changes in real-time. However, it's a common problem to update content that is shown to many users, but the rendering of items is affected by user context. A recommendation to get around this is to only broadcast things that don't require that user context. Because we have Turbo, we can serve user-specific content in other ways. Let's examine our setup, and I'll explain how we c...| Hashrocket
