Relicans host, Kirk Haines talks to Noel Rappin about the new book he has coming out: “Modern Front-End Development for Rails,” which is in part about what is interesting about Hotwire, Stimulus, and Turbo and what they bring to the table that's different than what people might be used to right now when it comes to web development, and talks about writing technical books for close to 20 years. 

Noel says, “It's a lot of time that goes into something that you can't control. You can't control what the world's going to be like when you put it out. You can't control whether people are still going to be interested in it. You can't control whether something's going to make it obsolete two weeks after it comes out.”

This is why he’s also started playing around with releasing newsletters like buttondown.email/noelrap.

Relicans host, Aaron Bassett talks to Solution Architect, Developer at Oracle, Mirek Sedzinski about his blog post The Misconceptions About Polyglot Programming, which can be found over on Dev.to.

Mirek’s conclusion is the following: “Of course one can learn how to operate any database in the world. But it requires significant effort and time. Each new database brings new tools, new concepts and tons of documentation...Whenever possible stay with one generic database to handle most of the traffic. Add new databases only to handle very specific workloads and only when really necessary.” What are YOUR thoughts, Polyglots?
