Show Notes

[00:01:37] Chris talks about how he discovered Ruby and began
developing with it. It started with him wanting to build websites.

[00:05:05] Active resource is mentioned and what it did.

[00:08:12] Chris talks about IRC Bots that worked, and he also expands
on his goal to teach himself how to use raw socket and the IRC Protocol.

[00:12:15] What helped Chris get his first job?

[00:14:17] Nate wants to know if Ruby is a good program language for
beginners and if you can equate learning programming to learning a
musical instrument, like a guitar. Chris explains and mentions an
experience he had.

[00:20:40] Chris talks about his first Rails job where he had to build
"breadcrumbs" and the issues he had. He has some great advice.

[00:31:22] Andrew shares a funny story about asking Chris for help
refactoring. Listen what he did to help him.

[00:33:06] Chris explains what GoRails is, how it was born, where it
came from, and what he does with it. You will be amazed at how many
videos he's recorded.

[00:40:20] Two questions are answered by Chris that Nate is curious
about. What's been his most popular episode and what is his personal
favorite one?

[00:44:28] A rundown on HatchBox is given. Let's say it's a cheaper
hosting service and you don't have to set it up all by yourself.

[00:51:57] A discussion is brought up about frustrations with
Webpacker.

[00:54:48] Andrew finds the "log file" topic interesting and Chris
