Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - John 15:12-17 - Jesus said to His disciples: "This is My commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from My Father. It was not you who chose Me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you. This I command you: love one another."

In this episode of Maintainable, Robby speaks with Joe Masilotti, an independent consultant who helps Rails teams ship mobile apps using Hotwire Native.Joe shares his perspective on what makes software maintainable—especially for consultants who need to onboard quickly. He explains why setup scripts often add unnecessary complexity, and how he evaluates a project's maintainability by how quickly he can go from clone to coding.Robby and Joe also discuss how hybrid mobile development can offer faster delivery, fewer bugs, and better long-term flexibility—especially when teams reuse their existing Rails web views. Joe explains how Hotwire Native allows teams to incrementally introduce native features without rewriting their entire app.Whether you're maintaining a mobile shell built two years ago or just starting to explore native development, Joe offers actionable advice on setting expectations, scoping client work, and navigating modern mobile tech stacks.⏱️ Episode Highlights[00:01:17] Onboarding as a Measure of MaintainabilityJoe shares how quickly he can spin up a Rails app often reflects how maintainable it is.[00:05:12] Being a Good Guest in Someone Else's CodebaseJoe outlines his ideal onboarding checklist and how he adapts to unfamiliar environments.[00:08:00] Setting Communication and Collaboration ExpectationsThe three questions Joe asks every client to understand how their team works.[00:13:02] Offering Opinions—Only Where InvitedWhy Joe stays scoped to the work he's hired for, even when tempted to fix more.[00:14:15] When Technical Debt Enters the ConversationJoe explains how debt discussions usually emerge after version one is shipped.[00:15:33] Who Should Read Hotwire Native for Rails DevelopersJoe describes the type of developer his book is written for and what it covers.[00:18:01] Choosing Native vs. Hybrid for Your Rails AppA framework comparison based on your current frontend architecture.[00:20:00] Introducing the Hotwire Native MindsetWhy logic belongs on the server and the client should stay thin.[00:21:00] Bridge Components: How Rails, iOS, and Android ConnectJoe walks through how native and web technologies pass data between layers.[00:24:00] Why Even a Web View-Based App is Worth ShippingThe practical benefits of discoverability, push notifications, and native APIs.[00:28:01] Replacing Unmaintainable Apps with Hotwire NativeJoe describes how hybrid rewrites often reduce mobile code by 90%.[00:31:33] Letting Go of Feature ParityWhy most clients end up cutting features they originally wanted to preserve.[00:32:18] Scoping and Estimating Project-Based WorkHow Joe uses repeatable patterns to price fixed-fee consulting engagements.[00:35:15] Using AI to Translate Between Tech StacksJoe shares how he leverages LLMs to explore unfamiliar languages like Kotlin.[00:42:26] Long-Term Maintainability and When to Touch the CodeWhy some apps don't need changes for years—and that's okay.[00:43:43] Why Hybrid Apps Are Easier to ReplaceJoe explains why hybrid apps are often more disposable and less risky than monolithic web apps.
Swimming against the current sometimes leads to unexpected treasures. In this fascinating conversation, Adam Fortuna reveals how migrating Hardcover—a social network for readers with 30,000 users—from Next.js back to Ruby on Rails delivered surprising performance improvements and development simplicity.The journey begins with Adam explaining how Hardcover originated as a response to Goodreads shutting down their API. As a longtime Rails developer who initially chose Next.js for its server-side rendering capabilities, Adam found himself drawn back to Rails once modern tools made it viable to combine Rails' backend strengths with React's frontend interactivity. The migration wasn't a complete rewrite—they preserved their React components while replacing GraphQL with ActiveRecord—and unexpectedly saw significant improvements in page load speeds and SEO rankings.At the heart of this technical evolution is Inertia.js, which Adam describes as "the missing piece for Rails for a long time." This elegant solution allows direct connections between Rails controllers and React components without duplicating routes, creating a seamless developer experience. We dive into the challenges they faced, particularly with generating Open Graph images and handling API abuse, and how they solved these problems with pragmatic hybrid approaches.The conversation takes an exciting turn as Adam discusses their work on book recommendation engines, combining collaborative filtering with content analysis to help readers discover their next favorite book. As someone currently enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series (described as "RPG mixed with Hitchhiker's Guide"), Adam's passion for both books and elegant technical solutions shines throughout.Listen in as we explore how going against conventional wisdom sometimes leads to better outcomes, and discover why Hardcover is now being open-sourced to invite community collaboration. Whether you're interested in Rails, JavaScript frameworks, or book recommendations, this episode offers valuable insights into making technical decisions based on real-world results rather than following trends.Linkshttps://hardcover.app/blog/part-1-how-we-fell-out-of-love-with-next-js-and-back-in-love-with-ruby-on-rails-inertia-jshttps://adamfortuna.com/https://bsky.app/profile/adamfortuna.comSend us some love.HoneybadgerHoneybadger is an application health monitoring tool built by developers for developers.JudoscaleAutoscaling that actually works.

Freedom Dumlao (CTO at Vestmark) joins Robby to explore what it means to maintain software at scale—and why teams sometimes need to unlearn the hype.With two decades of experience supporting financial systems, Freedom shares how his team manages a Java monolith that oversees $1.6 trillion in assets. But what's most surprising? His story of how a team working on 70+ microservices rebuilt their platform as a single Ruby on Rails monolith—and started shipping faster than ever before.Episode Highlights[00:02:00] Why Respecting Legacy Code MattersFreedom reflects on a lesson he learned at Amazon: "Respect what came before." He discusses the value of honoring the decisions of past developers—especially when their context is unknown.[00:05:00] How Tests Help (and Where They Don't)Freedom discusses how tests can clarify system behavior but not always intent—especially when market logic or business-specific rules come into play.[00:07:00] The Value of Understudies in EngineeringFreedom shares how his team intentionally pairs subject matter experts with understudies to reduce risk and transfer knowledge.[00:09:30] Rethinking Technical DebtHe challenges the fear-based framing of technical debt, comparing it instead to a strategic mortgage.[00:17:00] From 70 Services to 1 MonolithAt FlexCar, Freedom led an unconventional rewrite—consolidating 70 Java microservices into a single Rails app. The result?

Send us a textStephen Waddell takes us on a powerful journey of self-discovery as he shares how he uncovered his autism in adulthood after building a successful modeling career. Despite being naturally introverted and struggling with social interactions, Stephen found himself thrust into a profession that demanded social fluency – forcing him to systematically develop scripts and strategies that masked his autistic traits.A near-fatal accident on the New York subway at age 21 became Stephen's turning point. After surviving contact with the third rail, he emerged with a renewed determination to engage with life, methodically teaching himself social skills and transforming physically – losing nearly 200 pounds before unexpectedly entering the modeling world. This brutal forcing of social interaction became both his challenge and eventual strength.What makes Stephen's perspective particularly valuable is his insight into the exhausting nature of social masking. "It's been 15 years of doing the same kind of thing over and over again," he explains, describing how his carefully constructed public persona differs dramatically from his private self. He demonstrates how simple tools like his collection of stimming rocks provide essential sensory regulation when overwhelm hits.Now focused on nonprofit accounting, Stephen offers a fascinating perspective on how artificial intelligence can level the playing field for neurodivergent individuals. By automating social communications that would typically require significant emotional energy, AI helps him bypass the need for masking in many situations. His vision for technology as an equalizer offers hope for creating more accessible professional environments.For young autistic people struggling with that "social confusion fog," Stephen's message is clear: "Take your time, it does get better." His journey from confusion to clarity demonstrates how understanding your neurodivergent mind can transform perceived limitations into unique strengths and open unexpected paths forward.https://tonymantor.comhttps://Facebook.com/tonymantorhttps://instagram.com/tonymantorhttps://twitter.com/tonymantorhttps://youtube.com/tonymantormusicintro/outro music bed written by T.

What happens when a seasoned Rails developer with 17 years of experience decides to document their journey learning Hotwire? Radan Skorić joins us to discuss his ebook "Master Hotwire" and the fascinating parallels between writing and coding.Unlike most tutorials that start from ground zero, Radan's approach assumes you already know Rails—because that was his experience when learning Hotwire. "When I was picking up Hotwire, I had tons of Rails experience. I've just not done Hotwire," he explains. This focus allows his readers to skip the basics and dive deeper into what makes Hotwire powerful.We explore the meticulous process behind creating technical content, from researching pain points on forums to managing a beta reader program. Radan shares a powerful insight about feedback: "With positive feedback I feel good. With negative feedback I can actually go and improve it." This mindset led him to completely restructure portions of his book based on reader experiences.The conversation takes unexpected turns as Radan reveals how he overcame writer's block by applying software development principles to his writing process. Just as he might write tests to overcome coder's block, he found success by allowing himself to write "crap words" initially, knowing he would refactor later—a technique that mirrors how many of us approach code.Perhaps most compelling is Radan's observation about Hotwire's place in the ecosystem: it allows backend-focused developers to "stop lying" about being full-stack by providing a framework they can realistically master without diving deep into JavaScript frameworks like React. It's a refreshing perspective that reframes how we think about the full-stack developer identity.Check out masterhotwire.com and use coupon code "CodingCoders" for 20% off the book, and join the growing community of Rails developers embracing Hotwire!Send us some love.HoneybadgerHoneybadger is an application health monitoring tool built by developers for developers.JudoscaleAutoscaling that actually works.

Software isn't always about rapid iteration. Sometimes, the real challenge lies in carefully assessing the existing environment. Chris Salvato, a Senior Staff Engineer at Shopify, believes that spending time in the “problem space” is vital for any long-lived application. Rather than diving immediately into controllers and tests, he begins by talking to everyone who interacts with the code—engineers, product owners, even directors who oversee strategy. This approach reveals hidden friction points that rarely come to light in larger, more formal meetings.When code grows organically over years, a range of issues emerges. Small workarounds might accumulate, new features can overlap with older ones, and domain boundaries become murky. Chris suggests mapping these overlaps through in-depth conversations so the team can pinpoint what genuinely obstructs productivity. He emphasizes that many developers may focus on surface fixes—updating a library here, renaming a class there—without acknowledging underlying confusion in the domain model itself. Removing extraneous code, clarifying domain entities, and aligning the team's understanding can drastically reduce missteps.An interesting aspect of Chris's method is his view of “developer paradise.” A codebase reaches this state when new contributors can navigate it with minimal help. Instead of sifting through endless documentation or complex wikis, they can figure out how classes, modules, and services connect simply by reading the code. Chris notes that achieving this often involves pruning unnecessary files or responsibilities. The end result is software that “self-documents,” easing onboarding and reducing reliance on external explanations.The conversation also touches on how large language models (LLMs) fit into the puzzle. Many organizations see AI-driven coding assistants as a way to accelerate development. Chris agrees they have potential, yet highlights a critical requirement: the code must be well-organized. If the system is sprawling and inconsistent, these tools may only add confusion. Lean, carefully segmented projects let both people and AI more effectively track what's happening under the hood.Reducing code bloat leads naturally to discussions about prioritizing. Chris encourages teams not to tackle every annoyance at once. He references the importance of framing a unifying question, such as “Which feature or aspect of the app causes the greatest confusion among team members?” Spending too little time on this question, he warns, results in half-hearted improvements that eventually revert back to chaos. By contrast, devoting a few dedicated sprints—guided by thoughtful one-on-one interviews—can create lasting changes that set the entire codebase on a better trajectory.One intriguing theme is how personal growth ties into organizational impact. Chris acknowledges that developers often switch companies every few years, which might discourage them from investing deeply in a legacy codebase they won't maintain long-term. Yet taking the lead in clarifying domain logic or reorganizing outdated sections is a skill-building opportunity. Future employers also notice engineers who can transform messy architectures into clear, future-friendly systems. In that sense, there's a mutual benefit: the company gains maintainable software, while the developer acquires project leadership experience.The idea of “sitting in the problem space” resonates throughout Chris's remarks. He encourages engineers to resist the reflex to propose solutions too early. Instead, they should keep asking why a particular annoyance or bug persists. Is it a symptom of a misaligned feature set, or is it rooted in limited domain knowledge among contributors? By reframing those frustrations as questions about responsibilities, the team often discovers simpler fixes than a heavy-handed rewrite. Conversely, where deeper rewrites are indeed warranted, Chris believes it's best for the team to see that direction as unanimous rather than dictated from the top.Long-standing software also carries emotional baggage. People might have strong feelings about how something “ought” to be done, or they may have encountered recurring hurdles. Chris advocates using one-on-one conversations to let these concerns surface naturally, free from the pressure of group settings where quieter voices might hold back. Once everyone's perspective is heard, common threads become clearer, enabling the team to converge on a smaller list of genuinely important tasks. When the group reconvenes, the sense of shared purpose helps unify efforts in a way that scattered brainstorming rarely achieves.The conversation also highlights resourceful domain modeling, which draws some inspiration from the microservices world but doesn't necessarily require the code to be broken up into tiny services. Instead, Chris suggests that well-defined boundaries within a monolith can deliver comparable clarity—if the team respects those boundaries. He points to examples like Stripe or reading materials on Domain-Driven Design to show how cohesive object structures can help avoid big architectural hurdles.His closing thoughts revolve around long-term sustainability. Even if an engineer isn't planning to remain on a project indefinitely, they can leave a meaningful legacy by clarifying crucial parts of the code, championing simpler naming conventions, and encouraging more open dialogue among team members. The impact, Chris notes, goes beyond the immediate project: every person who touches that code later benefits from these improvements, often for years to come.Time-Stamped Highlights[00:00:00] Welcome and Well-Maintained Software:Robby opens by asking Chris about foundational traits of dependable, long-lasting codebases.[00:00:58] Defining “Well Maintained”:They explore how clear conventions and minimal bloat not only reduce confusion but also prolong the life of a system.[00:01:28] LLMs and Context Windows:Chris delves into why large codebases challenge AI-driven coding assistants—and how trim, well-modeled systems sidestep this pitfall.[00:02:00] Joining Shopify and Facing Legacy Systems:Chris recalls his early days at Shopify, realizing that older Rails apps demanded a more structured method of discovery.[00:03:08] Concept of “Developer Paradise”:He shares his perspective on how removing unneeded documentation and extraneous complexity makes daily development more enjoyable.[00:05:32] Framework for Tackling Old Code:Chris outlines his signature approach: booking numerous 1-on-1 meetings to gather honest feedback from stakeholders before touching the code.[00:07:15] Finding High-Leverage Problems:Robby and Chris discuss distilling this feedback into a shortlist of real bottlenecks that the team can tackle together.[00:15:00] From Problem Space to Solutions:They spotlight the value of framing a single unifying question—like “How do we reduce confusion?”—to keep everyone working toward the same outcome.[00:20:07] Balancing Personal Goals and Company Needs:Chris underlines how aligning individual ambitions with business objectives fosters commitment to sustained improvement.[00:32:00] Long-Term Value and Leadership:Closing out, Robby and Chris consider how short-tenure engineers can leave a lasting impact by helping a team focus on its biggest pain points.Resources & MentionsShopifyRuby on RailsChris's GitHubChris's LinkedInChris's Twitter/XThe One Thing by Gary KellerTitan: The Life of John D.

Yes, it's about Danville. No, it's not because I had to go to Geisinger! I've been going to Danville for years, almost always for the same reason: to go to Old Forge Brewing. And that's what I did this time, to interview owners Damien and Maria Malfara. I also went to the two coffee roasters in town, Java Momma and Bason Coffee Roasting, then to Rock God Brewing (been meaning to do that for a while now), and I'll tell you about the Shade Mountain Winery tasting room, and the J. Manley Robbins rail trail. I had one of Old Forge's T-Rail Pale Ales for the What I'm Drinking Today segment, and it was a beauty. The HVAB sponsorship spot was about three great fine dining spots in Centre County. I'll also tell you about the...pastrami? Montreal smoked meat? Well, the smoked corned beef I made for our St. Patrick's Day family dinner, and then the fun traditional music session we took part in at Elk Creek Cafe on the actual St. Patrick's Day. The next episode will probably be an interview with Wild For Salmon's Steve Kurian, all about fishing in Alaska, and bringing the salmon back to Pennsylvania for us to find at our local independent grocery store or restaurant. It's an excellent interview, one of the best I've done, I think. But I've got two others to choose from, so I'm not sure which one you'll get. I'm trying to do better with the Instagram feed; bear with me. Thinking about video, too. We'll see!
