Biography Show

SourceCodeMage

I subscribed to this show to learn about the Ruby programming language - training courses, best practices, useful gems, bug fixes, trends etc. Instead I get the biography of Ruby programmers and book authors. This is not what I or anyone else would sign up for. I wish that I could get back the time I wasted listening to this 'ruby' show'

Great panelists, great guests, and great topics. It’s definitely Ruby-oriented and a great way to keep up with what’s happening in the Ruby ecosystem, but there’s plenty of discussion of adjacent technologies and even other interesting things that have little to do with Ruby or even programming in general. I’ve learned about numerous hot new technologies first on The Ruby Rogues, so it’s a good way to stay plugged in to the cutting edge trends in Ruby and web development.
Great Hosts Having Great Conversations

I'm a total ruby and programming noob. I often don't quite get what the hosts are talking about, but I learn something new each episode and they are fantastic at introducing broad concepts along with more specific content.
Fantastic!

This is one of the best podcasts in the ruby community. Even though the title is ruby rogues, I would recommend this to any software engineer, the content transcends ruby and usually can apply to any language!
Great Podcast

I’m a huge fan of this podcast. Great talks with cool people. This is a fun podcast for those interested in ruby/tech. I’ve listened to over half of the episodes in the last few months. Check out the freelance show and javascript jabbers. Also go to the actual ruby rouges website and check out the show notes. Join us over at parley on discourse too. More info is on the website.
Thought provoking and entertaining!

I love this podcast. They talk about programming with Ruby, have guest speakers who are usually “Ruby Community Celebrities”, and are just entertaining to listen to. I’ve been trying to catch up on all the old podcasts I’ve missed and it is taking awhile as they put out a lot of quality content. I am new to the community, thanks for the great show, and also I’m enjoying the MINASWAN.
