Biography Show

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.
