Full Episode
Well, welcome back to another episode of the Ruby Rogues podcast. I'm one of your co-hosts today, Valentino Stoll, and I'm joined by Ayush. Ayush, do you want to introduce yourself?
Hello, hello. I've been on the podcast for a while, so hopefully frequent listeners would know. But yeah, quick intro. I'm the author of a book called The Rails and Hotwire Codex. I'm on the Bridgestone Core team, and I talk a lot of crap about Ruby.
You just released another version of the book, didn't you?
Yeah, it's a minor update. Just a whole bunch of continuity fixes that a very diligent reader sent me.
That book is so huge. I just imagine a minor update is really like a book in its own capacity.
You can say that again. That's what makes continuity so unbelievably hard.
like some of the mistakes that this reader sent me to like some a piece of code that i'd written that i kind of modify like three chapters later but i'd forgotten to backport the changes and stuff it's like see this is what i'm waiting ai to do right it's just like all this nonsense work that has to happen but like nobody really wants to do it right like
yeah yeah it's really why don't we have a reader bot and it's just like reads your book for you and it's like okay yeah based on this latest stuff you know you should update these things right that would that would be very useful indeed so i we were talking before the show kind of like Rails 8 is on the way here. Everybody's at Rails World and Ayush and I are feeling major FOMO right now.
But we're just watching the stream come through of all of these incredible updates that are just getting pushed out and released and announced today. Some of them we already knew were coming, right? Some of them we didn't. Ayush, do you want to like maybe mention your top highlights so far?
