The freeCodeCamp Podcast: Robby Talks Oh My Zsh
13 Jun 2018
Robby tells the story of how he accidentally created Oh My Zsh for the freeCodeCamp podcast. In it, he talks about how Oh My Zsh originated in 2009 after learning the wonders of zsh and collaborating with other developers on different .zshrc configurations. So after numerous attempts at talking his peers into moving to Zsh, he packaged up his .zshrc configuration into a collection of smaller files and added them to Github. The rest is history. The episode even features its very own "Mean Tweets" edition ~11 minutes in.

Ruby on Rails Podcast: Rails Survey Results
1 Jun 2018
Robby and Corinne joined the Ruby on Rails Podcast to chat with host Kyle Daigle about the 2018 Ruby on Rails community survey.
They discussed some of the surprising and interesting findings from this year’s survey – including how many people in the community find devise and ActiveRecord frustrating.
What else was surprising? The stats uncovered on continuous integration. For Kyle, it was surprising how many Rails developers aren’t using any continuous integration tools at all. We’ve primarily used Solano at Planet Argon (along with Bitbucket Pipelines) but we’re in the minority. The stats we found made us wonder if we should consider other tools that the community is using.
And that’s one great thing about the public results of the Rails survey. You’re able to see what your peers are doing and using and re-evaluate if you haven’t considered your options in a while.
We won’t spoil some of the other discussion points, but click here to check out the full podcast. We hope you enjoy the conversation!
