Hands down my most boring episode to date. In this episode I'm joined by Mr. "Boring Rails" himself, Matt Swanson.  We talk about removing premature abstractions, how decision fatigue impacts exploration, and revisiting ActionMailer (and finding it to be better than we remember). Even though Matt is notorious for sticking to boring tech the conversation was still great and I'm looking forward to having him on again. Maybe to talk about TypeScript? ;)Links:@_swanson on Twiiter (or X or whatever)boringrails.comActionMailer GuideActionMailer Docsarrows.toCome hang with me at Rocky Mountain RubyOctober 5th and 6th, 2023A two day, single track conference in the heart of Boulder, Colorado.Tickets are now on sale!

PostgreSQL wizard Andrew Atkinson joins the show to discuss his new book, "High-Performance PostgreSQL for Rails." Andrew talks about the challenges of writing a database book for Rails developers, refactoring prose, and the importance of maintaining a work-book-life balance. With his multiple fantastic talks on the subject of PostgreSQL, it's no surprise that he possesses a ton of knowledge to share. I'm genuinely delighted that I had the opportunity to have him on the show, and I'm incredibly excited for the book's upcoming release.Links:@andatki on Twitterandatki.bsky.social on Blueskyandyatkinson on GitHubandyatkinson.comHigh-Performance PostgreSQL for RailsPGSQL Phriday #001 — Query Stats, Log Tags, and N+1sCome hang with me at Rocky Mountain RubyOctober 5th and 6th, 2023A two day, single track conference in the heart of Boulder, Colorado.Tickets are now on sale!

Fresh off his Ruby Kaigi talk, Vini Stock, joins the show to talk about all things Ruby LSP.  Even though he's given a plethora of talks on the subject already there's so much to LSPs and to the future and vision of this project that I learned a ton while recording.  Vini confirms what I always suspected, that getting paid to work on developer tooling is awesome.
