## 2022-09-phillyrb-pubnite.txt
- Folks getting into Ruby recently
- [Odin project](https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/full-stack-ruby-on-rails/courses/ruby-programming)
- Finding a good starter project
  - Something for a friend, ideally with a deadline
  - something you can get excited about
- Feelings on Rails Turbo
- Comparison to python https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6971961568645259264/
- Finding new ruby remote jobs with good parental leave policies
- Javascript/Typescript, value of typing
- Maybe ruby duct typing is just good enough, playing with sorbet
- "Abuse the ducks"
- CodingCoders... podcast with ernesto https://podcast.drbragg.dev/episodes/episode-10-ernesto-tagwerker/
- RubyConf/Mini attendees https://rubyconf.org/
- taking the Amtrak from Philly to Providence for RubyConfMini
- How beginner friendly are conferences
  - RubyKaigi? pretty hardcore
  - rubyconf & mini, especially mini. The two tracks are there to help balance audience level
- Early programming training https://youandtheboss.com/
- https://exercism.org/ or hackerrank are good too, but probably don't address the very beginner space too well
- Rails & Turbo & React, finding the balance. Will the user expect constant live updating for this? Yes, then React might be good, No? then page refresh is probably okay
- Turbo might be able to help address this "Which Single Page App framework?" question (just use Turbo)
- Changes over time: Back in the day JS was always there (the jquery layer), but you could get away without getting into it, Turbo/Stimulus offers a similar path where you can get some interactivity without getting too deep into SPA space
  - [DDH modern demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpWFrUwAN88)
- Shape up book: https://basecamp.com/shapeup, one designer, two full stack engineers - rails comes from a perspective of these small groups hammering out a scoped feature. The react/rails gap probably wouldn't play into that as well.
