Rubygem Idea for Juniors, Modern Assets in Rails & George Jetson's Birthday
The boys are back in town, and they start by catching up on what’s been going on in their lives. Then, in the Ruby on Rails world, Andrew kicks it off by sharing a free gem idea for Juniors or people who’ve never built a gem before, Jason brings up a conversation they had a few episodes ago about migrating Podia off Webpacker, and Chris tells us what you can do using the Rails Assets site. We also hear all about the podcast Andrew is co-hosting called Ruby for All, that’s specifically for Junior Developers and people getting into Rails. Go ahead and download this episode and then go check out Ruby for All!
