I'm David Brady and I'm sitting in for Chuck and James at the same time, who are on vacation in Hawaii and can’t be bothered to do their weekly podcast. We are short two rogues, but we are up two guests! So, today on the podcast we have Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello, hello! DAVID: We have Josh Susser. JOSH: Yes. I'm appearing here on a Creative Commons Misattribution License. DAVID: (laughs) We have Jeremy Hinegardner. JEREMY: Hello and I am not a lawyer. DAVID: (laughs) And we also have Chris Wilson. CHRIS: Yeah, same here. DAVID: Okay. So, I guess just to start us off, we are going to be talking about Open Source Licenses today. This is a fun, complex issue. I remember sitting in on a panel years and years ago, talking about the subtle vagaries and evils of LGPL versus GPL and that good stuff. And people get completely, just been out of shape about this. But before we get in to that, I wanted to give our guests a chance to kind of do an introduction. Chris, why don’t we start with you? Your Twitter handle is “e” and that's not very rational. So, do you want to introduce yourself? CHRIS: Yeah. I'm Chris Wilson. I'm a developer up in Madison, Wisconsin at Ruby consulting development shop called “Bendyworks“. Yeah, so my handle and some of the other ways I identify myself is kind of a science nerd. So, I’ve sort of always been in science. I gave a little spiel at the Bendyworks internal conference recently, all about how to build a particle accelerator. DAVID: Very cool. Jeremy, do you wanna tell us about you? JEREMY: Sure. I'm Jeremy Hinegardner. I'm a developer in Boulder, Colorado.

But before we do that, we want to do the Best of Parley and James is going to take us away with that. JAMES: Yes, I'm being punished for missing recording a week. Actually on Best of Parley, I did a thread a little bit, a while back, it wasn’t this week, but it was I'm preparing this new talk for Aloha Ruby Conf in Hawaii and I asked for some input on the list and there was a great discussion on that. But, that is not my pick because it actually spun this other talk that did start this week on everybody asking… I was asking for kind of “Stupid Ruby Tricks” and now, people are asking for “Stupid Git Tricks”. There’s only been like three messages in this thread so far and I have learned like 65 things about Git that I didn’t know before. So, really awesome thread on Parlay for just picking up a lot of cool tricks with Git and version control. CHUCK: Awesome. JOSH: So James, somebody forked your thread? JAMES: Yup. Guess so. [laughter] DAVID: That was the sound of four mute buttons being frantically searched for. [laughter] CHUCK: I forked a thread and that’s how we got the fantasy thread that you brought up a couple of weeks ago. JAMES: That’s right. That was great. CHUCK: But I didn’t hi-jacked the thread, I just created a new thread that was the old thread.

You didn’t tell me I had to do this. Yes, hi, I’m Amy. I got involved in Ruby on Rails in, I think 2004 or 2005. It was definitely the winter. Rails was at 0.7 and became a little bit famous because I wrote the sort of right brain tutorials about Rails and Ruby. That totally changed my life and now I’m a product superstar! CHUCK:  There you go. That’s why we have you on the show. DAVID: So, that’s actually the perfect lead in to the story I mentioned in the pre-call. So, Amy, you and I have never met before this call, but name dropping your name actually helped me get a job. AMY: I have to hear this. DAVID: Okay. So, it’s a pretty short story. It starts with a very sad joke, which is that I was – well, actually, the whole point of it is the joke. In an interview, talking about how much do you know Rails. It was in 2005 or so, somebody asked me how much I knew Ruby on Rails, and I said, “Well,

This week on our panel, we have Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello from Pennsylvania. CHUCK: We have Josh Susser. JOSH: Hey, good morning everyone! CHUCK: James Edward Gray. JAMES: Chuck, we are going to need to use my formal title from now on. CHUCK: Is that ‘Your Majesty’? Kind of like ‘Your Worship’? JAMES: No. I'm going with “Ninjeneer Snowflake”. CHUCK: [laughs] OK. Our resident Snowflake, and we also have special guest and that's Pedro Belo. PEDRO: Hey, yeah. Good morning guys! CHUCK: Pedro, do you wanna introduce yourself really quick? PEDRO: Yeah, for sure. So, I'm a developer at Heroku. I've been working on the API right now, but I joined the company quite a few time ago; did quite a few different projects in there. And yeah, I guess that's what I'm doing. CHUCK: Cool. So, we are going to be talking about Zero Downtime Deploys, which sounds kind of interesting to me. I keep hearing the term, and for some reason my mind conflates it with continuous deployment, which I guess is a different idea. So, zero downtime deploy means that you run your deploy and your users don’t see the site go down for even a second, right? PEDRO: Exactly. There is not a single user that is affected by the deploy. And not only like 500 errors, like we talking about like assets; they show properly. They don’t got any like weird CSS from the previous version or anything like that, right? CHUCK: Right. JOSH: So aside form just niceness, why is that important? PEDRO: That is a great question. I wouldn’t think it’s that important like, a year ago or this is something that started growing in me together with the growth of the Heroku API, right? So in the beginning, we had like, let’s say, five requests a sec or something like that. And then at that point, it doesn’t hurt you too much, right? Maybe you will see one 500 or another on a deploy but it’s like really rare. But now, if you are talking about a website that has hundreds of calls a second, then as soon as something goes wrong in a deploy, like you will see 20 exceptions or even more. So, I think when you have a big site, it becomes pretty important so you can establish trust with your customers. They down want to get 500s. They rely on you and that's why I think it’s important. JOSH: I guess some of it really is just related to revenue. If you think about Amazon,

This week on our panel, we have James Edward Gray. JAMES: Hello everyone. CHUCK: Josh Susser. JOSH: Hey, good morning world! CHUCK: Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello from sleep deprivation. CHUCK: David Brady. DAVID: Hey everybody. I am pair podcasting with Chuck Wood today. We have swapped cities. CHUCK: That's right. I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv. I'm actually in Chattanooga, Tennessee today  and yeah, that’s how we swapped. Hopefully I can swap back to home pretty soon. [laughs] JAMES: Is that why you sound like an 80-year old smoker? DAVID: Yes. JOSH: [laughs] CHUCK: All right well, we have a few announcements. I'm going to let some other folks take care of that this week. David, do you wanna start us off? DAVID: Yeah. So, introducing our new segment, which is “The totally awesome thing that happened on Ruby Parley List”. This week, the thing that just blew me away from the list because a post from Katrina Owen, who was talking about the Angela Harm’s episode, specifically the un-schooling bit. And she was talking about just in time learning versus just in case learning. The thing that blew me away; the phrase, the concept I guess -- the sopheme if you will. If phoneme is the fundamental unit of sound, a sopheme then is the fundamental unit of thought. And the sopheme that caught my eye of a totally new concept to me was, she said she declared learning bankruptcy. She has this huge back log of articles to read, she had all these things saved and she’s dumped it and basically said, “I'm going to learn the things I need to learn, when I need to learn them.” And all of a sudden, she was free to learn things she was interested in instead of all these things that she had to learn. That was freaking awesome. And that's going in my mental bag of tricks. And that's my bit. AVDI: I was declared “learning too big to fail”. [laughter] JAMES: And how’d that work out for you? JOSH: --- bailout. JAMES: Oh. DAVID: He's continuing his learning Ponzi scheme. AVDI: [laughs] Other people --- the learning for me. JAMES: That's awesome. CHUCK: All right. Well, we have another announcement.

I did this at a small product development company in Oslo, Norway. CHUCK: Oh. JOSH: What did you do before Ruby? KATRINA: Do we have to talk about this? [laughter] JOSH: No. JAMES: Oh! It's shameful. CHUCK: She lives in the land of the chosen frozen. And she doesn't want to talk about what she did before Ruby. KATRINA: So I actually, I can reveal that I wrote PHP for a fashion company in Los Angeles. CHUCK: Wow. JAMES: Way to find the pain point right off the bat, Josh. [laughter] DAVID: I am coming out of the cold but you moved to Norway. KATRINA: Yeah, I've been back and forth a few times. JOSH: Sorry about that Katrina. Welcome to the show! How are you today? KATRINA: Thank you. I'm fine. How are you? CHUCK: Aren’t we supposed to start the show off? Go on. So did you guys do anything interesting this week?

This week we’re going to be talking about our book club book and that’s “Growing Object Oriented Software Guided by Tests”. And we also have the authors here, and that’s Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce. We’ll talk to them in a minute. I just want to introduce our panel; first we have James Edward Grey. JAMES: Hello! CHUCK: We also have Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello hello! CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and let’s go ahead and introduce you guys. Steve, why don’t you go first? Just tell us a little about yourself. STEVE: Oh hi! So I’m based in London where I’m a freelance software person. Slightly complicated check, complicated history which evolved working for all bunch of things including software houses and consultancies. Never directed for a certain client, usually I have either through a consultancy or as independent. Stopped for a PhD along the way, which gave me a chance to get in touch with a few things a bit deeper. And along with that sort of early member of the London Extreme Tuesday Club, which is a group of like-minded people who got together about 12 years ago now. And as we say on the book, a lot of the materials has come out of a decade of arguing and pubs. It’s been quite thoroughly road tested before we wrote it down. CHUCK: Awesome. How about you Nat? Do you want to introduce yourself? NAT: Hello. Just like Steve, I also am a freelance independent computer programmer and have worked in a variety of industries: some banking, some sports visualization and the first dot com boom. I’ve done a PhD. I’m currently doing some embedded Java stuff for a major broadcaster for a set of boxes. Again, I met Steve and XTC and many other people banked these ideas around and that’s carried on with until they became a book.

And welcome to Episode 67 of the Ruby Rogues Podcast. This week on our panel we have James Edward Gray. JAMES: Hello everyone! CHUCK: Josh Susser. JOSH: Good morning! CHUCK: Avdi Grimm. AVDI: Hello from Pennsylvania! CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and this week, we have a special guest and that‘s Gary Bernhardt. GARY: Hello! CHUCK: So Gary, you’ve been on the show before. Do you just want to briefly introduce yourself since you’re not a regular member of the show? GARY: Sure. I’ll just do the really quick version. I own Destroyer All Software, which is a company that produces screencasts every other week. I work mostly in Python, Ruby historically. I tend to become very bored with things and I’m becoming very bored with Ruby at this point to be honest. And yeah, I think that’s a sufficient introduction. JAMES: So Destroy All Software will be soon be “Destroy All Haskell”? GARY: I wouldn’t go that far. [laughs] Not that language. JAMES: That’s awesome. So Gary, Destroy All Software, I’ve watched all the episodes now and I’m actually current. You have like these recurring themes. What would you say the main recurring themes are? GARY: Well, OO design tends to come back over and over again. Although, what I’m talking about when I say OO design usually there’s little resemblance to classical OO design or what Alan Kay would call OO design probably. Another big one, of course, is testing which historically I can talk mostly about isolated testing or closed isolated. Although recently I’ve been talking about things that are still isolated testing I guess, except not doing it in the traditional mock and stub way. And of course, then there’s a lot of Unix stuff that tends to come back, shell stuff, a little bit of Vim, a little bit of Git. I think the 3 big ones though are OO Design, Testing and Unix. JAMES: Yeah. You’re testing is one of the really interesting parts for me I watching it. I think it was watching Destroy All Software that I really got good with mocking and stubbing.

This week on our podcast, we have David Brady. DAVID: Good morning. I’m Homeopathic David Brady. I’m a one part in 10 billion. CHUCK: Awesome. We also have Josh Susser. JOSH: Good morning. I’m Allopathic Josh. CHUCK: We also have James Edward Gray II. JAMES: You know, I listened to that “Hiring Programmers” episode and not one thing I said ended up in there. CHUCK: I’m sorry. I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV, and we also have a special guest and that is Michael Feathers. MICHAEL: Hello there. I’m down here in Miami saying hello and being with you guys. DAVID: Awesome. CHUCK: For the two people that haven’t heard of you, do you want to tell us a little bit about yourself? MICHAEL: Yeah sure. Been in software development for about 25 years, spent a lot of time consulting, work for Groupon now, wrote a book in 2005 called “Working Effectively with Legacy Code,” and spent a lot of time thinking about software problems and helping people solve them. That’s me. CHUCK: Awesome. JAMES: Woo hoo! CHUCK: This week, we’re going to be talking about “Functional versus Object-Oriented Programming”. This was a topic that Josh suggested a while ago and then Michael also wrote a blog post about it and so we decided to pull the two ideas together and chat about it. JOSH: To be fair, I don’t think I so much suggested the topic as ranted about it enough that you guys just figured we should do a topic or do an episode. JAMES: Yeah. How can we make Josh shut up, I mean, you know? DAVID: I want to be on record here. I’ve told you guys that appeasement never works but okay. CHUCK: Alright. I’m not 100% sure where to start. Do we want to start with the blog post or is there a better place to start at? JAMES: Sure, I just re-read that post this morning. Michael, can you give us 10,000 view of what you said there? MICHAEL: Yeah, sure.
