A few years ago, I was running my agency with four clients at the same time.
On paper, it sounded great—steady projects, different challenges, and a growing business.
But the reality? It was very intense. Managing meetings, deliverables, and deadlines was already a full-time job. On top of that, I also had to handle the technical work—coding, debugging, and deploying—which made everything even more complicated.
Luckily, I had spent years learning advanced Ruby concepts, techniques, and patterns. More importantly, I knew how to combine these tools to create simple and effective solutions. This skillset became my superpower, allowing me to deliver results quickly and with confidence, no matter how tight the deadline or how complex the request.
That is the beauty of Ruby—it is a language designed to help developers focus on solving problems, not on repetitive code. With the knowledge I had built over the years, I could automate repetitive tasks, simplify complex requirements, and deliver maintainable code quickly.
The technical side of my work was no longer a burden; it became a source of confidence and clarity.
This change in my approach is one of the main reasons I created RubyCademy.
I wanted to help other developers learn this skillset—mastering advanced Ruby techniques and understanding how to apply them in real-world situations. I know how important it is when your technical skills allow you to take control of your work, face challenges with confidence, and succeed under pressure.
If you are managing multiple clients or projects and feeling the pressure, remember: investing in your skills is the most valuable thing you can do.
With the right knowledge and tools, you can turn the technical side of your work from a source of stress into a strength. Let Ruby be the foundation that helps you achieve more with less effort—and enjoy the process along the way.
