45: I Think I'd Prefer An Error to Nonsense
Derek shipped Scenic 1.0, which spurs a conversation about semantic versioning and the value of the 1.0 milestone. We discuss what the bar for breaking changes in a library should be and look at some specific changes on tap for Scenic and whether they will or should carry a major version bump.
44: It Won't Crash... It Might Crash
Sean has shipped early versions of Diesel, an ORM for Rust! We discuss its semantic versioning, the ergonomics of use versus the complexities of implementation, early issues with the API and the road to Diesel 1.0.
43: That's DOCTOR Internet Technologist
We talk about lessons learned from teachable moments both in the moment and decades later.
42: That's Incredibly Ambitious (Grayson Wright)
We speak to Grayson Wright about building Administrate, an open source Rails framework for administrative interfaces. What makes Administrate different than existing solutions and what are the challenges in maintaining high-level dependencies.
41: Ugh, I Have to Write Web Apps in This Thing
Derek and Sean talk about Derek's exploration into Elixir and Phoenix, when and how performance matters, and ways to keep your Rails app fast from day 1.
40: ActiveRecord Deprecated Persistence
The ActiveRecord update API is a mess of methods that confuse even ActiveRecord’s maintainer. What are the problems and is there any hope for a solution?
39: Okay with Instability (Yehuda Katz)
We talk with Yehuda Katz about how much risk is right for you and your app, the sharp tools of high level abstractions, and how our statistical intuition leads us astray on web performance.
38: Ugh, Forms
Laila and Derek discuss how they have handled forms with complex validation requirements and how to make these forms have a smooth user experience.
37: The Web is Faster Without Garbage
Begun, the ad block wars have. Derek debugs an issue that arises from iOS ad blocking and wonders if analytics will move back to the server side. Sean fills us in on how dirty checking works in ActiveRecord and how he's making it faster and better in Rails 5.
36: Python Unchained
Derek and Laila talk about learning Python and Django and discuss how thoughtbot adopts new languages, frameworks, and libraries. What factors influence adoption? How do we share what works and doesn't work?
