John Epperson and Luke Stutters discuss developer tools - whether those are the IDEs or Text Editors we use, the gems/libraries we include in our projects, or the OS we make use of. We talk about How we decide to replace our tools, and we talk about a number of tools that we use, the ones that we like and the ones that we wish had better replacements.

A 10x developer is defined as a professional who is 10 times more productive than other developers with an equal level of expertise in the field.  Accordingly, a 10x developer would be able to complete 10 times more tasks and writes 10 times better code than any other competent member of their team working in the same conditions.  Does a 10x developer exist, or is this a myth?  Today on the show, Charles and Valentino parse out this philosophy by comparing a 1x developer vs. a 10x developer.

In this episode…1. What do you expect out of a programmer?
2. Increasing work output on a team
3. The ego of a programmer
4. Being a team player
5. Sustaining a steady pace toward a common goal
6. The time to fix things is now
7. Focusing on your team and output

It's not every day that you learn a new approach to error handling for Ruby.

They also dive into the topic of dry monads, the gems that helps you achieve railway oriented programming in that it helps bind your methods together and give you a success or failure result.In this Episode…

1. What is railway oriented programming (ROP)
2. Examples of ROP and dry monads
3. Limitations of dry monads 
4. How to test your configurations
5. Dry schema implications
6. What is the developer culture like in Nigeria, Africa?
