Show Notes

developing with it. It started with him wanting to build websites.

[00:05:05] Active resource is mentioned and what it did.

[00:08:12] Chris talks about IRC Bots that worked, and he also expands
on his goal to teach himself how to use raw socket and the IRC Protocol.

[00:12:15] What helped Chris get his first job?

[00:14:17] Nate wants to know if Ruby is a good program language for
beginners and if you can equate learning programming to learning a
musical instrument, like a guitar. Chris explains and mentions an
experience he had.

[00:20:40] Chris talks about his first Rails job where he had to build
"breadcrumbs" and the issues he had. He has some great advice.

[00:31:22] Andrew shares a funny story about asking Chris for help
refactoring. Listen what he did to help him.

came from, and what he does with it. You will be amazed at how many

[00:40:20] Two questions are answered by Chris that Nate is curious
about. What's been his most popular episode and what is his personal
favorite one?

hosting service and you don't have to set it up all by yourself.

[00:51:57] A discussion is brought up about frustrations with
Webpacker.
