Leonardo talks about how he ended up at Plataformatec and shares a little bit about the talk he gave about alternative authentication methods. He talks about the difference between Devise and Warden. Some of the panelists have had some issues with cache warming in Warden, and Leonardo shares ways to get around it. They talk about authentication strategies used in Warden and Devise and different strategies that tap into hardware. Leonardo talks about some of the features coming to Devise, although their primary focus is on maintenance. He talks about the work that goes into such a long-standing project, especially concerning maintaining the integrity of the code but also allowing for progress. They talk about some of their favorite features of Devise. Devise is easy to set up and very functional, but also intimidating. When a library is so big and does so much, it has to make some assumptions. Leonardo talks about how they decide what goes into the library at this point and how easy is it for new maintainers to contribute to the project. Leonardo ultimately wants to make it easier for people to jump in.Links Devise Warden Cache warming Magic email link Wrapper WebAuthIn Follow Leonardo on Twitter and GitHub @tegonl Follow DevChat on Facebook and Twitter PicksLeonardo Tegon: Teach by learning, lead by teaching by Beth Sajevo Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast And Never Forget It by Gabriel Wyner Andrew Mason: Rethinking the View Layer with Components by Joel Hoxley Repo for the talk David Kimura: Water pressure gauge tester Other World Computing RAM Charles Max Wood: Repurpose New shows coming: Adventures in DevOps, Data Therapy, Sustain Our Software, Adventures in Block Chain, Adventures in .net David Richards:CalTopoSpecial Guest: Leonardo Tegon.

They discuss the importance of hiring junior developers, some of the ethics of internships and compensating for take home projects.They turn the conversation to interview questions and what should be asked to evaluate a candidate. They go through some potential questions and methods for coming up for interview questions. Pete shares the interview process he designed. The panel talks about the importance of resumes. On the subject of resumes, they discuss how to avoid unconscious bias and maintain diversity in the workplace. They give a few tips for people being interviewed, such as doing interviews to keep you skills fresh, even if you aren’t necessarily looking for a job. The show ends with the panel recapping the most important points of their discussion. They emphasize that as the interviewer, it is imperative that you know what you want and are looking for in a new hire. When you’re doing the interviews, tech skills are important but the fit with the company is more important, and it’s your job to get all of the right information out of the candidate. People interviewing are encouraged to proofread their resumes, ask questions to find out if the company is a right fit, and not be afraid to ask for some accommodations in an interview.

They talk about if the processes and tools that hurt productivity should be taken out. They question if outdated but harmless tools should be updated for newer ones that have more functions.They discuss the difficulty with adopting new tools since the setup process takes time away from production. They each talk about their different editor setups. The necessity of all this different tools is questioned. They note that there is a trend to take a good thing that solved a real-world problem and introduce it into places that it doesn’t need to be, making development more complex. It is advised that programmers focus on shipping an application rather than just writing the code in order to simplify tooling. They discuss whether backend as a service systems are part of the problem. They advise tech companies to consider if they are ever going to sell or migrate when considering a new tool. The panel talks about if it’s possible to end up fighting against the tools that have always been used rather than infrastructure or coding tools.

Sponsors Sentry use code “devchat” for 2 months free Triplebyte $1000 signing bonus Redisgreen Panel Charles Max Wood Dave Kimura Special Guest: Jason SwettEpisode SummaryJason Swett is a former host on Ruby Rogues. Now he has his own show, Ruby Testing Podcast and runs the site codewithjason.com where he teaches Rails testing. Today, Jason discusses turning fat models into skinny POROs (Plain Old Ruby Objects). He once read an article that said you don’t have to put all your code into active record models, that you can create plain ruby objects. These can go into active models if you want, but you’re not limited to active record models, you can make your own classes. This realazition greatly impacted the way he structures his code.The panelists talk about the individual ways the structure their code. Jason discusses other structuring methods he has tried and gives some examples of using skinny POROs in the apps he works on. They discuss the pros and cons of using skinny POROs instead of active models, pros being it cleans up the model and makes testing easier, and the cons being it adds to a bit of overhead to the application, as somebody unfamiliar with the application might recreate parts if you don’t have an index.The panel discusses how to decide when you want to create a new PORO. They talk about each of their methods and discuss the the usefulness of token generators. They conclude that in order for skinny POROs to be effective in code, they must be well factored and organized, and that unfortunately some complexity in code is unavoidable.Links POROs- Plain Old Ruby Objects Model Active record models Namespace Service objects Value objects CSS Form object Tokens Initializer Singleton object PicksDave Kimura: Reek Kubernetes Charles Max Wood: Cloud66 Podwrench Podcasting booth New podcasts coming to DevChat-- if you want to revive a podcast that has stopped airing, contact Charles Max Wood Programming Podcasters Slack chat Jason Swett: Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby Ruby Testing Podcast Codewithjason.com Special Guest: Jason Swett.

He has been freelancing for the past 10 years, working especially in open source. He received the Ruby Hero award in 2010. His latest work is with his own creation, Zeitwerk, a more efficient code loader for Ruby. Zeitwerk will be included in Rails 6, but is an independent gym for now. Xavier talks about his inspiration for Zeitwerk and his desire to improve constant outloading in Rails.The panelists delve into the features of Zeitwerk. Any conventional library can use Zeitwerk, so you don’t have to write requires. Zeitwerk is designed to make your development work easier because you don’t have to worry about including in or requiring files in your code snippets, it will intelligently auto load those in. Zeitwerk functions slightly different from classic mode Ruby, because in Zeitwerk, you don’t go constant name to file, instead you are given a file name first, and then add it to a constant. Xavier delves into the limitations of classic mode and the const-missing callback, and how Zeitwerk improves upon this problem by using only absolute paths and module outloading instead of const-missing. The result is that, in general, things load faster.They discuss indexing of absolute paths within Zeitwerk, how one of the principles of Zeitwerk is to be as lazy as possible, the memory footprint, and the configuration needed to opt into Zeitwerk. Overall, Zeitwerk is going to work like Ruby. There are no special rules, it has the same semantics as Ruby, fewer gotcha’s if any at all, control over inflection, ways to introspect, and a way to log the activity of Zeitwerk.Links Zeitwerk Kubernetes API HTML Const-missing callback Nesting Ancestors Module outloading Bootsnap Bootstrap Absolute path PicksDavid Kimura:Nerf GunsEric Barry: Octotree Chrome extensionXavier Noria:Time TrapSpecial Guest: Xavier Noria.
