    Episode 20: The Service Object Show

    The Ruby Blend - Episode 20 Welcome to The Ruby Blend! It's been awhile and it sure feels good to back in the swing of things! Today, we have a new panelist with us, Dave Kimura, who's been doing Ruby for quite some time, as well as doing the Drifting Ruby screencast for over five years now. On this episode, we dive into the topic of Service Object, where do they belong in your app and how do you name it in Ruby on Rails. We discuss namespacing and how to name interactors the correct way. Dave elaborates on Active Storage since he did an episode on Drifting Ruby about it. Have you heard of Backblaze and Digital Ocean?

Also, having a conversation with your team and reaching a consensus before you start doing stuff.

    Episode 17: Open sourcing a Ruby gem with Brittany Martin

    The Ruby Blend - Episode 17 Welcome to The Ruby Blend! On today's episode, we have a special guest, Brittany Martin, who is Lead Web Developer for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, where she is part of a team that develops the non-profits ticketing and festival web application and is also the host of the Ruby on Rails Podcast on the 5 by 5 Network. Brittany is here to tell us all about what she does, gem wrappers, and she is seeking some counsel from the guys today on various things. We talk about how important Readme's are, useful tools for documentation, a project from Evil Martians, a gem called Combustion, and RSpec API documentation is discussed. We end with Brittany telling us all about her passion for being in the Roller derby. Download this episode now!  Sponsored by: LinodePanelists: Andrew MasonNate HopkinsRon CookeGuests: Brittany MartinShow Notes: [00:01:51] We start here by Brittany telling us all about gem wrappers and what she's working on. She asks the guys if it makes sense to create an almost fake Rails app that she ships along with the certificate or ship beside it that shows a user how to use it? Andrew answers and mentions reading a lot of code from Vladimir, who goes by palkan, and Brittany mentions Piotr Murach, who wrote a great article about writing gem specs.  [00:07:14] Brittany asks the guys if they ship their VCR cassette tapes with their code and do they find it useful or do they think that VCR cassette tapes should be ephemeral?  [00:13:25] Nate tell us how he markets his open source repositories and when he has a new project that he is excited about, what kind of steps he takes.  [00:15:13] Brittany asks the guys what does it feel like when you publish a library and people start opening issues with it? Is it a weird mix of joy and a little bit of panic or are you just excited overall?  [00:17:27] Ron asks Nate if he has any advice on how to build that initial community and for getting those initial enthusiasts. Nate brings up a video from Derek Sivers about "How to start a movement." Great advice from Nate here and an awesome quote!   [00:20:17] Andrew talks about setting up a Rails App, how important Readme's are, and he mentions a repo that he points to a lot called Awesome Readme's." He also mentions documentations have to be good, and he tells us resources to help with this, which is a project from Evil Martians, Read the Docs, and GitBook.   [00:24:10] Brittany wants to know when do you outgrow your Readme and are all the tools that you offered better than using GitHub Wiki? Brittany mentions how she was stoked to get the Google Pay as the gem name.  [00:28:15] With the example Rails project that Brittany wants to ship with the gem, she wonders if it should be part of the gem itself or should it be a separate repository? Andrew and Nate help out with this.  [00:31:55] Andrew talks about if you're worried about hard to debug tickets, he created a reproduction template on how to quickly and easily reproduce your issue. Also, if you want a community, he suggests creating a place for them. He mentions Jared White, maintainer of Bridgetown, R.B. Andrew asks Brittany why did she decide to develop it in private rather than putting it in as a work in progress as the status, or the gem description, and if you try it then it's on you?  [00:38:26] Brittany tells us her empathy with Rails engines, and if she's done a local path to a locally sourced engine as well.  [00:40:58] Andrews tells us about a Gem called "Combustion" that helps with engine testing that palkan uses a lot.  [00:42:33] Andrew asks everyone when you write gems do you use yard? Brittany mentions RSpec API documentation which she's used in past jobs and is pretty amazing.  [00:46:10] Andrew talks about the tool "docsify" and an Evil Martians blog post about it.  [00:46:56] Brittany talks about her passion of being in the Roller Derby, under the name Norma Skates, after Norman Bates.

    Episode 16: Playbook Thirty-nine with Nick Haskins

    Welcome to The Ruby Blend! On today’s episode, we have special guest, Nick Haskins, who works as a full-time solo Dev for CG Cookie and a year later he launched Blender Market. Both sites were started on WordPress but eventually outgrew the platform. Without any prior experience with Ruby on Rails, he built both apps from scratch and spent the next few years fixing, learning, and maintaining those platforms. Today, he is going to tell us all about his book he recently published called, Playbook Thirty-nine. There’s an interesting story how he came up with the name. He also tells us about his new platform called Mavenseed. Also, Nick lets us know how it’s been traveling and living the nomadic lifestyle in an RV with his family. Download this episode now.  Sponsored by: LinodePanelists: Andrew MasonNate HopkinsGuests: Nick HaskinsShow Notes: [00:01:32] Nick talks about his Ruby on Rails Playbook he just published called, Playbook Thirty-nine.  [00:02:35] Since Nick has been very entrepreneurial in his career as a solo developer, Nate is curious to know his experience with Blender, what led into building the WordPress plugins, and what made him decide to move off of WordPress into Ruby on Rails.   [00:04:47] Nick talks about what led him into being involved with Blender tutorials and making that available on WordPress, even though he’s not really a Blender himself.  [00:08:09] Where did the title of his book, “Playbook Thirty-nine” come from? He also gives us an elevator pitch of the book.  [00:11:45] Nick tells us how much in his book is technical topics versus how much is business oriented, and how does he see the distinction there. Andrew talks about the coolest parts of the book that he enjoyed.  [00:16:50] Nick is in the process of taking CG Cookie and creating a new platform called Mavenseed, and he tells us more about it.  [00:27:08] Since Nick is sticking close to jQuery and not introducing Webpacker, he tells us other places he recommends that people deviate from, like the “Rails Golden Path.”  [00:30:46] Andrew wants Nick to talk about how he came to the price point of his book, which is not just a book, because it provides sample materials and sample application.  [00:35:22] Nate wants to know what the workflow was like and what kinds of tools Nick used while writing the book. He also talks about his nomadic lifestyle, living in an RV, and if he’s enjoyed this new lifestyle with his family. Also, he tells us if COVID-19 has affected his living situation and where his favorite place to live has been so far.  [00:42:03] Andrew gives a s/o to Brittany Martin, who runs the Ruby on Rails Podcast on 5by5. She ends most of her shows by asking her guests a certain question, so Andrew uses her idea today and asks Nick to tell us what his thoughts are on the future of the Ruby on Rails communities.
