Ruby for All

Instead of answering Andrew’s question about what Julie is up to, she asks what Storybook is and they go down a rabbit hole about that. Eventually the pair move on to talk about continuous integration, security checks, linting, static analysis, and code coverage and why it’s important. Continuous deployment does not end up getting talked about much outside of feature flags, so that's for another day.

A few other topics discussed in this episode are:

• What is a good size for a Pull Requests (PRs)
• How to break apart large PRs
• Commit hygiene and messages

Andrew and Julie talk about their first open source experiences. Andrew shares that he has always loved open source and does as much as he can. Julie had some questions around how to get started and Andrew shares some tips and tricks for interacting with projects and maintainers on GitHub and making high value contributions. After a brief aside about 10x developers, the pair talk about dealing with rejection and that it is ok and not personal when your contribution is turned down. Just like with companies, you have to find the right project for you and there is no shame in admitting when the task is currently over your head. Finally, Andrew and Julie wrap up with a disclaimer that open source isn't for everyone and that's ok.If you are thinking about contributing to open source or hesitant on starting, this one’s for you!
