Rubygem Idea for Juniors, Modern Assets in Rails & George Jetson's Birthday

[00:07:35] Andrew shares a free gem idea for Juniors or people who’ve never built a gem before. 

[00:10:20] Jason brings up a previous episode with Konnor Rogers where they talked about migrating Podia off Webpacker, and the guys chat more about that.

[00:17:56] Jason was looking something up for JavaScript and he tells us he couldn’t get Google to give him any results that weren’t for jQuery, and Chris talks about the interesting idea that Rails could sort of simplify Webpack with Webpacker, which they’ve done with jQuery, Prototype, and Scriptaculous.

[00:20:35] We hear about why CoffeeScript was such a welcomed flavor of JavaScript.

[00:22:23] Chris tells us what you can do using the railsassets.org site. 

[00:26:07] Andrew fills us in on his new podcast, Ruby for All, that he’s co-hosting with Julie, that’s aimed at providing something specifically for Junior Rails Developers or people getting into Rails.  

[00:27:49] We find out some things that have been difficult and things Andrew forgot about with starting a podcast. 

[00:31:57] In case you haven’t listened to the first episode yet, Andrew explains the focus of the podcast which is full of honest conversations and advice. 

[00:38:50] Chris shares a George Jetson announcement and a great idea for a new gem name.
