We are Arjan and Achilleas. We are long time Rails enthousiasts and have both become technical leaders. Originally we started our podcast in Dutch, but we've now decided to interview people we find interesting to have conversations that, hopefully, our listeners will find interesting as well. Looking for the Dutch episodes?

    01 - Amanda Perino - Executive Director of The Rails Foundation

    Today we welcome Amanda Perino, the executive director at The Rails Foundation. We talk to Amanda about the foundation, her role and how she become the director. We talk about differences between working with developers and non-developers. We talk about the challenges of the foundation in reaching junior developers, creating better documentation and remote work. We also discuss the outcomes of the Rails Community Survey results and the state of the community. We had a great time and I think it is a must listen for any Rails developer.

    Insights from the first Rails Luminary: Chris Oliver!

    🇬🇧/🇺🇸 In our first English podcast, we are joined by the one and only Chris Oliver from Go Rails, Jumpstart, Hatchbox.io and the Remote Ruby podcast. Recorded at the Rails World conference! Chris has been awarded the first 'Rails Luminary' award at Rails World for his contributions to the community.  We were lucky enough to spend an hour talking to Chris. We talk about some things he hasn't mentioned before. We speak to him about how he stays up to date about all the Rails changes, his brief experience with Python, his early days as a Rails developing student, refactoring, his evolving business and educating junior developers.  We had a great time, and we hope you do too. Thanks to Buzzsprout for providing us with the booth. https://gorails.com/ https://hatchbox.io/ https://jumpstartrails.com/ https://remoteruby.com/  Send us a message
