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.
RR 408: Zeitwerk with Xavier Noria
Sponsors Triplebyte $1000 signing bonus Sentry use the code “devchat” for $100 credit RedisGreen Panel David Kimura Eric Berry Andrew Mason Joined by special guest: Xavier NoriaEpisode SummaryThis episode of Ruby Rogues features Xavier Noria, who has a background in mathematics, but started software in 2000. 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.

The panelists discuss the naming of Ruby as the Server-Side Programming Language of the Year in 2018, beating out PHP and Java. Karthik talks about incorporating Ruby into Oracle. His team uses Ruby in both development and operations, and having a common language has increased their efficiency. The panelists discuss the shift from constant servers to more volatile servers that can make provisions on the fly. Karthik explains the benefits of using Oracle Cloud Native over other services. Oracle places a lot of emphasis on helping startups by giving them more computing power than other companies. Karthik talks about the merits of using Kubernetes in testing and production, and encourages those interested in using Kubernetes to jump in and start learning about it. For startups that want to use Kubernetes but lack a specialist, Karthik suggests letting a cloud service (like Oracle) manage the servers.

Tung is also the creator of Ruby on Jets. Jets is a Ruby Serverless Framework, allowing you to to create serverless applications with Ruby. It includes everything needed to build and deploy applications to AWS Lambda.Tung explains how Jets works and that even before AWS Lambda supported Ruby, Jets used a shim to run Ruby. The shim was written in a language that is natively supported by AWS Lambda and called out to Ruby. Tung describes this process using the dream in dream concept in the movie Inception. Since AWS Lambda has started supporting Ruby, Jets has since moved to the official AWS version of Ruby.They discuss Tung’s decision to open source Jets and his end goal with it. Tung explains he created Jets because he needed it, he wanted to run Ruby functions without managing a server. So by building tools like Jets he is able to help his clients and his consulting company. By open sourcing them, he is able to give back to the community.Tung talks about the development process of Jets and explains that he has already re-written Jets a couple of times. Finally, for people who want to find out more about Jets, Tung directs them to the documentation and support links on the Jets website and the YouTube videos he has posted.Links Jets Ruby Serverless Framework Jets Blog Post http://rubyonjets.com/docs/crud-html-activerecord/ http://rubyonjets.com/docs/crud-json-activerecord/ https://asyncy.com/ BoltOps BoltOps Nuts and Bolts Blog AWS Lambda Serverless Framework Tung's LinkedIn Tung's GitHub Tung's Twitter Tung's YouTube Channel Support Jets Introducing Jets: A Ruby Serverless Framework on AWS Lambda Build an API with Jets Ruby Serverless Framework PicksNate Hopkins:Influence: The Psychology of PersuasionEric Berry: https://asyncy.com/ https://scoutapp.com Light Therapy Lamp Andrew Mason:H68G DroneDave Kimura: Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard for Business (5KV-00001) Inversion Table Charles Max Wood: The 1-Page Marketing Plan bu Allan Dib Cholesterol Clarity by Jimmy Moore The Keto Reset Diet by Mark Sisson Deseret Book Company Tung Nguyen:Profit First by Mike MichalowiczSpecial Guest: Tung Nguyen.
