Ruby for All

After getting sidetracked with Storybook, Andrew and Julie discuss continuous integration tools, techniques, and more. Hear some hot takes about RSpec vs. Minitest, good Ruby linters, and why you should take security more seriously!

Show Notes

Instead of answering Andrew’s question about what Julie is up to, she asks what Storybook is and they go down a rabbit hole about that. Eventually the pair move on to talk about continuous integration, security checks, linting, static analysis, and code coverage and why it’s important. Continuous deployment does not end up getting talked about much outside of feature flags, so that's for another day.

A few other topics discussed in this episode are:
  • What is a good size for a Pull Requests (PRs)
  • How to break apart large PRs
  • Commit hygiene and messages
