It's been a busy couple of months for Robby on the podcast front. This week, he talks with Chad Pytel, the CEO of Thoughtbot and host of Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots podcast. Thoughtbot is in the same realm of Planet Argon as a development consultancy – but as you'll find out during the interview, we're quite different than we seem on the surface. In this episode, Robby also discusses how his role has shifted within Planet Argon over the last 14 years, what has changed (and not changed) over 10 years of Rails survey results, and how Rails fits into the ever-shifting ecosystem of web development frameworks.
We hope you enjoy the episode!
