The Standup episodes

  • S7E10 - There's Always a Bigger Number
    • Keith is no longer a programmer (jk not programming as much as her used to though).
    • More talk about writing tasks for junior devs. Basically the same conversation as last time.
    • How Keith breaks down projects. Start with the end in mind and go backwards.
    • Keith wishes for that we didn’t use Packwerk (github.com/shopify/packwerk) within the app he works on.
    • Jamie talks about using Juvet in Tatsu and some issues with type checking.
    • Juvet templates are becoming a sticking point and the next focus for that project.
    • Jamie is loving his work on Tatsu (and not so much his client work).
    • Cedar Point is dope during “Halloweekends”, but the fast pass arms race is real.

  • S7E8 - Remove the monkey patches

    The K + J sandwich is back (gross). Keith starts this week off by discussing his panel he hosted at the internal Shopify conference and how he almost pooped his pants.

    Keith talks about some of the other internal talks, including the future of Rails!

    Jamie and Keith then discuss why Shopify invests so much energy and resources in Ruby and Rails. It's interesting. What else are you going to do? Watch dance videos on TikTok?

    Oh. And Jamie launches something? (Psst...https://next.tatsu.io).

    Jamie and Keith end it with a discussion about ElixirConf. Jam-packed baby!
