Episode 49 - Radan Skoric 35:01

What happens when a seasoned Rails developer with 17 years of experience decides to document their journey learning Hotwire? Radan Skorić joins us to discuss his ebook "Master Hotwire" and the fascinating parallels between writing and coding. Unlike most tutorials that start from ground zero, Radan's approach assumes you already know Rails—because that was his experience when learning Hotwire. "When I was picking up Hotwire, I had tons of Rails experience. I've just not done Hotwire," he explains. This focus allows his readers to skip the basics and dive deeper into what makes Hotwire powerful. We explore the meticulous process behind creating technical content, from researching pain points on forums to managing a beta reader program. Radan shares a powerful insight about feedback: "With positive feedback I feel good. With negative feedback I can actually go and improve it." This mindset led him to completely restructure portions of his book based on reader experiences. The conversation takes unexpected turns as Radan reveals how he overcame writer's block by applying software development principles to his writing process. Just as he might write tests to overcome coder's block, he found success by allowing himself to write "crap words" initially, knowing he would refactor later—a technique that mirrors how many of us approach code. Perhaps most compelling is Radan's observation about Hotwire's place in the ecosystem: it allows backend-focused developers to "stop lying" about being full-stack by providing a framework they can realistically master without diving deep into JavaScript frameworks like React. It's a refreshing perspective that reframes how we think about the full-stack developer identity.

Embark on a journey through the landscape of SQLite and Ruby on Rails as I chat with the exceptional Stephen Margheim, who enlightens us on the robustness and agility of SQLite for modern web development. Stephen brings to the table his extensive open-source contributions and projects that integrate SQLite with Rails, offering insights into Ruby gems like Lightstream for backups and an SQLite package manager for extensions. Dispel any doubts about SQLite's scalability with us, as Stephen dismantles misconceptions and highlights how this database can stand tall among the giants. As we navigate the conversation, you'll uncover the elegance of simplicity in database management. I reflect on my own experiences, contrasting the complexity of orchestrating large-scale applications against the serenity of smaller, SQLite-backed projects. Stephen and I advocate for the beauty of monolithic repositories, debunk the notion that overengineering is a must, and sing praises for starting lean and nimble—because sometimes, less is genuinely more. This episode is a chorus for pragmatism, where we harmonize the hymn that simplicity and development velocity can and should be the leading voices early on. Finally, witness the burgeoning Ruby ecosystem's embrace of SQLite through the spotlight on emerging gems like Lightstack and Extralight, which are fine-tuning the Rails experience for both seasoned developers and newcomers. This episode isn't merely a discussion; it's a testament to the growing vitality of Ruby's relationship with SQLite and the shared vision of streamlined, powerful web development. Join us to learn how these tools can transform your Rails journey, as we champion a future where sophistication and accessibility go hand in hand. Send us some love.

In this episode, I'm joined by a special guest, Ben Ornstein, one of my Ruby heroes. I may fan-boy a bit as I express my admiration for Tuple, a tool I love. Together, we dive deep into Tuple's journey, starting from its inception and delving into the creative problem-solving and ingenuity behind its design and development. Ben also reveals his transition from CEO to Head of Product. We discuss the fresh perspective on team collaboration methods and product development this change offers. We explore how feedback loops and Agile practices play a pivotal role in Tuple's continuous evolution. Along the way, we also reflect on the 'My Life in Weeks' poster, which serves as a stark reminder of the fleeting nature of our time on Earth. This episode is a roller-coaster of insights, trivia, and reflections that will hopefully leave you feeling wiser and more contemplative.

Hands down my most boring episode to date. In this episode I'm joined by Mr. "Boring Rails" himself, Matt Swanson. We talk about removing premature abstractions, how decision fatigue impacts exploration, and revisiting ActionMailer (and finding it to be better than we remember). Even though Matt is notorious for sticking to boring tech the conversation was still great and I'm looking forward to having him on again. Maybe to talk about TypeScript? ;) Links: @_swanson on Twiiter (or X or whatever) boringrails.com ActionMailer Guide ActionMailer Docs arrows.to Send us some love. Support the show…
