In this fun episode of Remote Ruby, Chris and Andrew dive into a wide-ranging chat that kicks off with Nintendo’s new Switch 2, dentist nightmares, and the chaos of Mario Party. From there, it transitions into some highly practical Rails development discussions, including a slick new implementation for MetaTags in Jumpstart, the headaches and benefits of JSON-LD for SEO, and an overdue breaking change to the Pay gem. There’s also a smart e-ink countdown widget built with Ruby called TRMNL and updates on RailsConf and Rocky Mountain Ruby. Hit download now to hear more!
