[00:04:04] Since Robby’s been in the Rails Community for a long time, he tells us how things have changed and how he got into Ruby on Rails and Z shell.

 

[00:16:34] Robby tells us about doing something in Postgres, but curious about using DRb (distributed object system for Ruby,) and a story about a past FOSSCON he went to in Portland.


[00:20:59] Jason is curious to know since Robby owns an agency, if the work he takes on is primarily Ruby on Rails work. He mentions not being a maker, but a mender.


[00:28:35] Chris is curious to know from Robby if a new developer comes into a team, how can you address comprehending or understanding things and make it maintainable for the longer term.

 

[00:34:00] Chris talks about maintaining stuff, learning code, and the reality of working as a developer.

[00:41:30] Andrew feels like he’s under-utilizing Oh My Zsh, so he asks Robby to talk about some cool things that he’s seen people do with it and some common misunderstandings that he thinks people have about the project. He mentions some great plug-ins called git-extras, autojump, and z.


[00:49:09] Robby tells us his favorite plug-in, dotenv, and a new theme he’s working on.
