Remote Ruby

[00:04:37] There is a discussion about using escape JavaScript in apps as well using jQuery.

[00:08:24] Jason talks about learning Backbone and then learning JavaScript outside of jQuery. Andrew says he’s always heard good things about Backbone.  

[00:10:14] Nate asks Andrew about his Gatsby experiment and how much of it is Java XML configurations and how much of his time is spent doing that stuff as opposed to actually programming.  Andrew also explains how he was, “Nerd Sniped!” Storybook is also brought up as well. 

[00:16:05] The guys all talk about how they use Jekyll and Jason mentions a cool thing about Gatsby and it’s pretty interesting.   

[00:22:53] Chris talks about fiddling with an app to use Google Maps to throw together a quick map and use a stimulus to control the map and it’s pretty cool! 

[00:29:30] Chris mentions since RailsConf has been cancelled and Hey.com has been postponed he’s wondering if there will be any announcements made on the new stuff they have been working on or if they will release anything new to address certain issues.

[00:31:00] Nate talks about how Stimulus Reflex has the same mental model as React, where it’s data driven.

[00:33:25 Chris doesn’t know what’s going to happen exactly, but RailsConf speakers were emailed about potentially recording their talk at home and submitting it, then it will maybe go up on their YouTube instead of conference talks. He is curious to see what will happen with that.  

[00:34:22] Andrew discusses his progress on the remote Ruby Online Meetup that he’s putting together.

[00:03:41] Andrew talks about his “experiment” which is a remote-like meetup he is putting together.

[00:10:31] There is talk about Standard RB on twitter and Jumpstart Pro being a good place to begin because it’s a template. 

[00:16:30] Chris brings up ERB Lint wondering if it’s been handy for the guys. Andrew mentions an HTML Beautifier that works with ERB that runs on that code which is nice.   

[00:22:49] Andrew’s FAVORITE question is asked about whether it’s a good idea to run a fixed version of a command rather than track to see if it passes or fails and if there is a downside to that. 

[00:29:26] Chris mentions the official github actions set-up for Ruby which is so much faster.  Andrew quotes, “There was a bit of contention in the action community.” 

[00:32:13] Chris talks about Secrets getting tricky on forks and there wasn’t any solution he could see.

[00:34:55] Nate reveals some cool cache stuff he’s been doing on CodeFund so he gives some information on it.

[00:52:54] Chris brings up the Devise Masquerade gem and how nice it is to have.  Which also brings up global.iD and how useful and powerful it is. 

[01:02:48] To end the episode, Andrew has a rather funny story about what happened when he added “dark mode” to the rubymeetup.online site.
