Probably before Rails 1.0, certainly. I don’t remember if Tobi was involved in the Ruby community in late 2004 when DHH introduced Rails at RubyConf 2004 (in DC), and I don’t remember him being at that conference, either. But I do remember seeing Tobi involved in ruby-talk by early 2005. But Shopify has always been a Rails shop.
