00:16 – Welcome to “99 Bottles of Podcasts!” …we mean, “Greater Than Code!” 99 Bottles of OOP by Sandi Metz and Katrina Owen (https://www.greaterthancode.com/2016/11/21/008-sandi-metz-and-katrina-owen/) 01:31 – Collaboration on the Book Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby by Sandi Metz (https://www.poodr.com/https://www.poodr.com/) People who like me call me disciplined & meticulousPeople who don't call me anal & pedanticIt's the same thing. @kytrinyx @greaterthancode— Jessica Kerr (@jessitron) November 21, 2016 14:56 – Audience: Who is this book for? 99 Bottles of Beer Exercise (https://www.sandimetz.com/99bottles/sample#appendix-exercise) 21:06 – The DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself); Duplication and Replication DRYing too hard: "people encapsulate the pieces that are identical, though they don't represent a complete idea." @kytrinyx @greaterthancode— Jessica Kerr (@jessitron) November 21, 2016 29:21 – Code Review and Naming Things 30:40 – “In what ways is it 99 Bottles a richer kata than fizz buzz (http://wiki.c2.com/?FizzBuzzTest)?” – Benjamin Fleischer (https://twitter.com/hazula) 32:53 – “The 99 Bottles book seems to document all the trade-offs we’ve been implicitly making. Could this possibly be a first step in automating those decisions? i.e.: Might we take those now-explicit rules and partially automate the process of programming?” – Craig Buchek (https://twitter.com/CraigBuchek) 34:47 – Llewellyn Falco: “Sparrow Decks” (http://llewellynfalco.blogspot.com/p/sparrow-decks.html) Kathy Sierra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Sierra) Philip Kellman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Kellman) 39:57 – “what non-Ruby technologies are you interested in right now?” – Darin Wilson (https://twitter.com/darinwilson) The more people involved in a projectthe less important the code becomesand more important the interactions.@kytrinyx @greaterthancode— Jessica Kerr (@jessitron) November 21, 2016 “Code is easy; people are hard. If you want to get things done, you have to get good at people.” - @sandimetz— Greater Than Code (@greaterthancode) November 21, 2016 45:00 – Sandi’s Unique Approach to Teaching 47:53 – Speaking at Conferences Listening is not how people learn.We learn by doing.To help someone learn-by-doing, ask them questions.@sandimetz @greaterthancode— Jessica Kerr (@jessitron) November 21, 2016 Reflections: Coraline: Inspiration to return to work on her book about empathy. Also, exploring whether that visual interpretation of code is the shape of code in the abstract or the shape of the code that’s written on-screen. Sandi: Controversy around the notion that duplication is better than the wrong abstraction. Katrina: We are humans and we have ideas and sharing those ideas makes us visible to other humans. It is also incredibly important and impactful to speak. Jessica: Development of relationships and partnerships with someone who will push you. Sam: Helping people realize things on their own is greater than telling them the answer. Also, practicing better self-control in coding and mentoring.
