I was extremely privileged to be joined by Stan and @lucianghinda.com to discuss #Ruby (and a bit of Rails)

I have a new idea for a podcast. But:
1- it's not compatible with the JSI format
2- I don't know if I am allowed to have 2 pods at the same time.

In case I have someone for a pilot:
"Around a hot tech-e"

Me or a guest come with a hot take in tech and talk around it for an hour

I wrote something different:

My code is a liar!

And yet, it's never wrong,

It does give quick feedback,

And most of it for naught.

So, I get that AI must be used.

But who the f*ck wants YouTube videos auto dubbed (badly)?

Like if I want bad dubbing, at least let me choose it, don't make it a default!

I had the opportunity to make myself unhireable for the small price of self vindication on LinkedIn.

I am quite proud to say I let it go and I remain (barely) hireable.

#ruby (and #rails) people. What is a fat model for you?

I feel like 'fat model' has become a short hand for:

this has a lot of lines

Rather than:

This does too many things

I said this on a slack I am part of:

I am more and more opposed to code reviews and see less and less sense to them. Especially asynchronous code reviews.

A friend called on me to expand, so here are the thoughts I shared (not very organized, sorry): 👇

What is stopping us from releasing more often and more predictably is a question we should ask ourselves more often.

Processes should be at the service of alignment, either intra-team or extra-team.

You should not be afraid of removing processes but you should not be afraid of adding them either.
