    Test driven development addresses most of the issues raised. RSpec for the win. The tests will make sure you don't break anything. No convention in your head can replace the tests running against your code. Great for onboarding new devs

    I completely agree with the approach given here. But I remember not wanting to do tests because I wasn’t good at it so felt like it was a barrier. Looking forward to reading your e-book.

      For sure. Not mastering a skill introduces friction, especially when the gap between that skill and the others is higher. But investing in this skill is the best investment (with the highest ROI) of them all.
      Let me know what you think about the book.

    Your description perfectly matches BDD with Cucumber. Sadly, it's not as popular nowadays.

    Have you try using solutions such as Sorbet to add type checking in your ruby / Rails apps?

    • @mixandgo

      Yeah sure, but last time I checked it didn't support ruby 3. Maybe things will get better with RBS.

      @@stpaquet well, adding types doesn't mean you don't want everything I mention in the video. There's still a ton of surface types can't cover. So Ideally you can have both.
      But then there's the time constraint. People chose Rails because it can ship features faster. If you invest a lot of time into making it safe, that value tends to go down quite a bit, and you are probably better off by picking a different language.
      I'd say there's a middle ground where you can have enough safety so you don't shoot yourself in the foot, and enough shipping speed to be practical. But it's balancing act for sure.

    Awesome video I agree that tests are invaluable. Every team I have worked with has required tests for every new feature. If you don't have good tests then the feature is not complete.

      Starting with the test (before you implement it) is a complete game changer.

      100% agree. Can be difficult for new developers to test first. I tell them to write the code first if you need to. Just make sure you have tests before submitting the PR. With practice you’ll be able to write tests first, and that’s when you’ll know you’ve leveled up.

      It's a one-time fee, with recorded lessons and support from me over email and the students forum. You also get assignments and code reviews.

      Yeah sure, networking is probably your best bet, and your skill level needs to be sharp.
      So I would say spend a few months 8h/day leveling up as quickly as possible, and then start networking with Rails folk (meetups, conferences, hackathons, etc.)

      @@Alwalou For one, you will probably feel like that for a very long time. Try to ignore that feeling, it's not helpful. As to online communities, it's not the same. It's a lot harder to make friends online. Traveling to conferences would be easier than trying to find friends online (in my opinion).
