Episode 17 - Joe Masilotti
Joe Masilotti is, in many ways, the guy. Chances are you've heard of him you may just not know his name. He's the Turbo Native guy, the RailsDevs guy, the helping juniors get hired guy, the Hotwire newsletter guy, the all around nicest guy. Joe joins the show to talk about his various projects, why it's so important to build in public, and how doing less is helping him to do it all.Links:@joemasilotti on Twitter@joemasilotti@ruby.social on Mastodon@joemasilotti on GitHub@joemasilotti on LinkedInhttps://masilotti.com/https://railsdevs.com/Hotwire NewsletterTurbo Native WorkshopWNB.rbWomen on Rails NewsletterSend us some love.

Episode 16 - Mike Munroe and Dave Kroondyk
A double first for Coding Coders, this episode is the first to feature TWO guests, both from the shows very first sponsor OBLSK! Mike Munroe and Dave Kroondyk are from OBLSK, a software consultancy specializing in Ruby on Rails. In this episode they share their adventures converting a clients dotNet and angularjs application to Rails and Hotwire. A full rewrite of any application is always an adventure but throw in mobile apps and you have an adventure of epic proportion. Mike and Dave share the things they've learned along the way and why they firmly believe there is not better choice than Rails.Links:OBLSK@mikepmunroe on TwitterMike Munroe on LinkedIn@davekaro on ruby.socialThe Rails and Hotwire Codex by Ayush NewatiaJumpstart ProPhlexSend us some love.
