Show Topics: 0:00 – Kendo UI 0:32 – Chuck: Hello! My new show is TheDevRev – please go check it out! 1:35 – Panel: I want all of it! 1:43 – Chuck: Our guest is Kent C. Dodds! You were on the show for a while and then you got busy. 2:06 – Guest.  3:09 – Panel: The kid part is impressive. 3:20 – Guest: Yeah it’s awesome, but the kid part is my wife!  4:09 – Panel: 10 years ago we weren’t having any tests and then now we are thinking about how to write better tests. It’s the next step on that subject. What is your story with tests and what sparked these ideas? 4:50 – Guest. 7:25 – Panel: We have a bunch of tests at my work. “There is no such thing as too many tests” are being said a lot! Then we started talking about unit tests and there was this shift. The tests, for me, felt cumbersome. How do I know that this suite of tests are actually helping me and not hurting me? 8:32 – Guest: I think that is a valuable insight. 11:03 – Panel: What is the make-up of a good test? 11:13 – Guest: Test every line – everything! No. 11:19 – Chuck: “Look at everything!” I don’t know where to start, man! 11:30 – Guest: How do you avoid those false negatives and false positives. 15:38 – Panel: The end user is going to be like more of integration test, and the developer user will be more like a unit tester? 16:01 – Guest: I don’t care too much of the distinction between unit and integration tests. 18:36 – Panel: I have worked in testing in the past. One of the big things that fall on the users’ flow is that it’s difficult b/c maybe a tool like Selenium: when will things render? Are you still testing things in isolation? 19:33 – Guest: It depends. When I talk about UI integration testing I am still mocking the backend. 23:10 – Chuck: I am curious, where do you decide these are expensive (so I don’t want to do too many of them), but at what point is it worth it to do it? 23:30 – Guest mentions the testing pyramid. 28:14 – Chuck: Why do you care about confidence? What is confidence and what does it matter? 28:35 – FreshBooks! 29:50 – Guest. 32:20 – Panel: I have something to add about the testing pyramid. Lucas talks about tooling, Mocha, JS Dong, and more! 33:44 – Guest: I think the testing pyramid is outdated and I have created my own. Guest talks about static testing, LINT, Cypress, and more! 35:32 – Chuck: When I was a new developer, people talked about using tests to track down bugs. What if it’s a hairy bug? 36:07 – Guest: If you can, you can use this methodical approach... 39:46 – Panel: Let’s talk about the React library for a little bit? Panel: Part of the confidence of the tests we write we ask ourselves “will it stand the test of time?” How does the React Testing library go about to solve that? 41:05 – Guest. 47:51 – Panel: A few more questions. When you are getting something and testing and grabbing the label by its text have you found that to be fragile? Is it reasonably reliable? 48:57 – Guest: Yeah this is a concern and it relies on content. 53:06 – Panel: I like this idea of having a different library. Sometimes we think that a powerful tool is better, but after spending some time with other tools that’s not always the case. 54:16 – Guest: “You tie your hands to free your mind.” It does less but what it does less it does better. 55:42 – Panel: I think that with Cypress, too? 55:51 – Guest: Yeah that’s why Cypress is great to use. 57:17 – Panel: I wrote a small library here at work and it deals with metrics. I automated all of those small clicks – write a bit – click a bit – and it was really good. I felt quite efficient. Those became the tests. 57:58 – Panel: One more question: What about react Native? That comes up a lot. At looking at testing libraries we try to keep parody between the two. Do you have any thoughts on that? 58:34 – Guest talks about React Native. 1:00:22 – Panel: Anything else? It’s fascinating to talk about and dive-into these topics. When we talk about confidence that is very powerful, too. 1:01:02 – Panelist asks the last question! 1:01:38 – Guest: You could show them the coverage support.

Panel: Charles Max Wood In this episode, Chuck discusses his new podcast show titled the DevRev. Chuck also asks you very honest questions that will get you thinking; such as: What does freedom mean to you? How do you want your life and career to unfold? How can we (at the DevRev) help you with your career decisions? Check out today’s episode to hear about this and much more! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: AngularBootCamp.Com 0:52 – Chuck: Welcome! The panel is myself! I had this idea bouncing in my head for a while and I got some verification while waiting for my guest and panelists to show up. The show that I am producing is called, DevRev and it’s based on developer freedom. 2:22 – Chuck: Some developers love to contribute to open source. Some developers say that they don’t get along with their boss or coworkers. Others will say that they aren’t learning and feel like they are falling behind. I am on the B team and want to be on the A team. It boils down to: are they getting the freedom to do what they want to do. 3:45 – Chuck: I haven’t been happier with my job since I’ve gone self-employed. Having a sense of freedom could have a different definition for you. Perhaps you are looking for time to go hiking, skiing, and so on. For you it could be programming is to help you with your hobbies. What kind of opportunities can YOU create for yourself in programming? 5:32 – Chuck: When I got into programming (at first) I didn’t have a real clear idea. My old boss would have these ideas and would change the day after our meeting, which was frustrating. Freedom could be things from the things that don’t make you happy. Maybe an office space for you doesn’t work for you. 6:41 – Chuck: 1.) Freedom in life to do what you want! 2.) Freedom in your career to elevate you where you want to be. Chuck: Freedom to pursue the things that I care about vs. not pursue the things I don’t care about. First of all how do we take care of the big things? How do we reach our long-term goals? Finally, how do we remove all of the other interrupts and optimize our experience day-to-day to achieve things we want to achieve? 8:48 – Chuck: I was talking with Chris and his ideas are centered on with helping the community. We talked about the things that hang him up, too? 9:26 – Chuck: “I am swamped at work – what do I do?” I want to help you solve your issues. What’s your idea of freedom? 10:15 – Chuck: How do you feel fulfilled? Let’s find you a place that will payoff for you. There are all kinds of ideas around this. That’s where I want to dive-into! 11:11 – Chuck: If there are any questions that you have in particular – shoot me a message! I will gladly answer your questions and check out TheDevRev.com! I have some friends who run a financial podcast – 2 Frugal Dudes. I want you to ask the questions that are irking you. 12:36 – Chuck: I feel like there are tons of opportunities for developers out there that we can help you find what’s a good place for you. Find what you want out your career and life – find something that will line-up for you. Even if you are trying to find your first job! There are a lot of options out there. I am putting the show out on YouTube and Facebook! END – Advertisement – Cache Fly!

Panel: Dave Kimura Eric Berry Charles Max Wood Nate Hopkins Special Guest: Pedro Cavalheiro In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panelists talk with Pedro Cavalheiro who is from Brazil, but currently resides in Hamburg, Germany where he works at Xing. He is a software engineer, an actor, and has been working with the web since 2010. He has worked mostly with Ruby and PHP languages, and since 2015 has worked full-time with Ruby on Rails. The panelists and Pedro talk about his background and his article. Check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: Sentry.io 1:04 – Chuck: Hi! Panel is Eric, Dave, Nate, myself – and our special guest is Pedro Cavalheiro! Please introduce yourself! Is that Spanish or Portuguese? Chuck: P.S. – The DevRev is my new show and check it! 1:57 – Guest: My name means gentleman! Here at your service. 2:05 – Guest: I am a developer and worked with web technologies for 10 years. I do some DevOps stuff and working with Ruby. I just moved to Hamburg, Germany with the same company. 3:02 – Chuck: How do you make that decision? 3:07 – Guest: There is no magical answer. It depends on your needs and what time you have? At the time when I wrote that article I worked with a small startup company. For us, we used Heroku at the time. 4:09 – Guest: Current company is bigger and 500 developers. We have different ops teams and they have their own infrastructure and tools. They have more money, time, and people. For what they need it needs to be more scalable. It depends on the company and the requirements and your resources. 5:00 – Panel: I need to preface first: I love hosted solutions, but at the same time there is a hidden cost set that people don’t think about. 6:16 – Guest: If you compare your own infrastructure vs. cloud platform they will think that it is cheaper than having a hosted solution. 7:28 – Chuck: Yeah, that’s a discussion that I find that I have with myself and with my own company. It makes a ton of sense to have some system setup and it’s something that I am managing. 8:05 – Panelists talks about AWS and AMI. 9:06 – Guest. 9:21 – Panel: Can you talk about the article you wrote? Why did you write it? Give us some context into the article and where are we now? 9:48 – Guest talks in-detail about his article and where he was in life when he wrote this article! 14:10 – Panel: How much time did you invest into that? 14:16 – Guest: Less than a week; maybe 3-4 days for the whole process. Writing the article took about 2 days. 14:50 – Chuck talks about Docker, Azure, Dokku among other things. Question: Where do you look at all of these different things, and how do evaluate? 16:02 – Guest: I am a huge Heroku fan, and I would suggest people to use it. It’s brilliant. The company I work today it could be expensive to use b/c it’s a heavy load application and it won’t work. As for me (personal projects) I will play around these different tools. 19:02 – Panel: It’s easy to get up and running of Heroku. I think it’s similar to Kubernetes. 20:00 – Guest: I agree with that. The guest shares a story that relates to this topic. 21:45 – Panel: If you are using self-hosted...put some security on your application. Even if it’s just a demo you are protecting your environment. 22:17 – Chuck: Where do you guys come down on making these types of decisions? 22:30 – Panel: I see it as an investment; especially if your development team is small.  Eventually, it will scale but in the early days of a project it is a legit choice to use Heroku or Beanstalk. CodeFund is still on Heroku. Right now it’s solving those problems for us. 23:45 – Chuck: Look at everything that we are all running. What do you guys recommend? 24:19 – Panel: I use S3, elastic search, among other things. 25:56 – Guest: I have a similar story. I had some friends who were spending more than $2,000 a month on Heroku. We tried to find how to reduce the amount of money. We removed the application from the Heroku and put it inside a local machine (probably $800 computer) that runs 24/7 and the only expenses were Internet ($50.00 / month) and 1 SSD ($100) and 1 micro-server through Amazon. Now it works and we were spending over 200x the amount that we needed to. In this example it wasn’t a critical system. In this case self-host was far better and cheaper, so it really depends on your case. 28:08 – Panel: Yeah, sometimes the old school and simple solutions are it. 28:26 – Chuck: I have a virtual machine/servers on Digital Ocean, and I cap deploy. I will login in every-now-and-then, but that’s it. 28:50 – Panel adds in his comments to this topic. 29:17 – Guest: Sometimes these old school solutions tend to be slower, but it depends on what you need for that situation. 29:50 – Chuck: David Brady called that his “Time to Twitter.” 30:04 – Fresh Books! 31:10 – Chuck: Can you talk about your discussion about this, please? 31:23 – Guest: I wrote this article, and it was translated into a few different languages. In the talk that I gave, I talked about my article. It’s funny b/c I wasn’t expecting all of this attention. 33:33 – Guest: I was nervous when I gave the talk so I don’t think it was that good. (Laughs.) 33:50 – Guest: We are human beings and we are always making mistakes, which is okay. 36:55 – Chuck: Yeah I run into that, too. Especially when running the podcast. 37:14 – Guest: That’s apart of the game right? We like to play with new technologies and if it weren’t for experimenting with new stuff our whole industry wouldn’t be as fun. We have the freedom to test, and we get to break tings and not get fired. That’s apart of our jobs. 37:51 – Panel: That’s a good point. A service like beanstalk or Heroku it’s easy to push your app out into the world. But when you dig in deeper, I think that knowledge really starts to seep in and you get to be a better developer. 38:27 – Chuck comments on this topic. 39:12 – Panel: To Pedro’s point... 39:42 – Guest: Yes, we work as a frontend or backend developer or a system administrator, but we need to understand the infrastructure. I want to know and when I know more then my work as a backend developer will improve and communicate with the system. That people know how to use Ruby on Rails and they get used to it but forget about database behind that, and...where you can write your own inquires. They think it’s not their job, but it IS their job. 41:17 – Chuck: To take that step one step further. Chuck talks about performance issues, codes, and more. 41:48 – Chuck: I want to try out Dokku! 42:00 – Guest comments. 43:53 – Chuck: Let’s do Picks! 44:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job!

Give us some context into the article and where are we now? 9:48 – Guest talks in-detail about his article and where he was in life when he wrote this article! 14:10 – Panel: How much time did you invest into that? 14:16 – Guest: Less than a week; maybe 3-4 days for the whole process. Writing the article took about 2 days. 14:50 – Chuck talks about Docker, Azure, Dokku among other things. Question: Where do you look at all of these different things, and how do evaluate? 16:02 – Guest: I am a huge Heroku fan, and I would suggest people to use it. It’s brilliant. The company I work today it could be expensive to use b/c it’s a heavy load application and it won’t work. As for me (personal projects) I will play around these different tools. 19:02 – Panel: It’s easy to get up and running of Heroku. I think it’s similar to Kubernetes. 20:00 – Guest: I agree with that. The guest shares a story that relates to this topic. 21:45 – Panel: If you are using self-hosted...put some security on your application. Even if it’s just a demo you are protecting your environment. 22:17 – Chuck: Where do you guys come down on making these types of decisions? 22:30 – Panel: I see it as an investment; especially if your development team is small.  Eventually, it will scale but in the early days of a project it is a legit choice to use Heroku or Beanstalk. CodeFund is still on Heroku. Right now it’s solving those problems for us. 23:45 – Chuck: Look at everything that we are all running. What do you guys recommend? 24:19 – Panel: I use S3, elastic search, among other things. 25:56 – Guest: I have a similar story. I had some friends who were spending more than $2,000 a month on Heroku. We tried to find how to reduce the amount of money. We removed the application from the Heroku and put it inside a local machine (probably $800 computer) that runs 24/7 and the only expenses were Internet ($50.00 / month) and 1 SSD ($100) and 1 micro-server through Amazon. Now it works and we were spending over 200x the amount that we needed to. In this example it wasn’t a critical system. In this case self-host was far better and cheaper, so it really depends on your case. 28:08 – Panel: Yeah, sometimes the old school and simple solutions are it. 28:26 – Chuck: I have a virtual machine/servers on Digital Ocean, and I cap deploy. I will login in every-now-and-then, but that’s it. 28:50 – Panel adds in his comments to this topic. 29:17 – Guest: Sometimes these old school solutions tend to be slower, but it depends on what you need for that situation. 29:50 – Chuck: David Brady called that his “Time to Twitter.” 30:04 – Fresh Books! 31:10 – Chuck: Can you talk about your discussion about this, please? 31:23 – Guest: I wrote this article, and it was translated into a few different languages. In the talk that I gave, I talked about my article. It’s funny b/c I wasn’t expecting all of this attention. 33:33 – Guest: I was nervous when I gave the talk so I don’t think it was that good. (Laughs.) 33:50 – Guest: We are human beings and we are always making mistakes, which is okay. 36:55 – Chuck: Yeah I run into that, too. Especially when running the podcast. 37:14 – Guest: That’s apart of the game right? We like to play with new technologies and if it weren’t for experimenting with new stuff our whole industry wouldn’t be as fun. We have the freedom to test, and we get to break tings and not get fired. That’s apart of our jobs. 37:51 – Panel: That’s a good point. A service like beanstalk or Heroku it’s easy to push your app out into the world. But when you dig in deeper, I think that knowledge really starts to seep in and you get to be a better developer. 38:27 – Chuck comments on this topic. 39:12 – Panel: To Pedro’s point... 39:42 – Guest: Yes, we work as a frontend or backend developer or a system administrator, but we need to understand the infrastructure. I want to know and when I know more then my work as a backend developer will improve and communicate with the system. That people know how to use Ruby on Rails and they get used to it but forget about database behind that, and...where you can write your own inquires. They think it’s not their job, but it IS their job. 41:17 – Chuck: To take that step one step further. Chuck talks about performance issues, codes, and more. 41:48 – Chuck: I want to try out Dokku! 42:00 – Guest comments. 43:53 – Chuck: Let’s do Picks! 44:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job!

He is a software engineer, an actor, and has been working with the web since 2010. He has worked mostly with Ruby and PHP languages, and since 2015 has worked full-time with Ruby on Rails. The panelists and Pedro talk about his background and his article. Check it out! Show Topics: 0:00 – Advertisement: Sentry.io 1:04 – Chuck: Hi! Panel is Eric, Dave, Nate, myself – and our special guest is Pedro Cavalheiro! Please introduce yourself! Is that Spanish or Portuguese? Chuck: P.S. – The DevRev is my new show and check it! 1:57 – Guest: My name means gentleman! Here at your service. 2:05 – Guest: I am a developer and worked with web technologies for 10 years. I do some DevOps stuff and working with Ruby. I just moved to Hamburg, Germany with the same company. 3:02 – Chuck: How do you make that decision? 3:07 – Guest: There is no magical answer. It depends on your needs and what time you have? At the time when I wrote that article I worked with a small startup company. For us, we used Heroku at the time. 4:09 – Guest: Current company is bigger and 500 developers. We have different ops teams and they have their own infrastructure and tools. They have more money, time, and people. For what they need it needs to be more scalable. It depends on the company and the requirements and your resources. 5:00 – Panel: I need to preface first: I love hosted solutions, but at the same time there is a hidden cost set that people don’t think about. 6:16 – Guest: If you compare your own infrastructure vs. cloud platform they will think that it is cheaper than having a hosted solution. 7:28 – Chuck: Yeah, that’s a discussion that I find that I have with myself and with my own company. It makes a ton of sense to have some system setup and it’s something that I am managing. 8:05 – Panelists talks about AWS and AMI. 9:06 – Guest. 9:21 – Panel: Can you talk about the article you wrote?
