Test driven development addresses most of the issues raised. RSpec for the win. The tests will make sure you don't break anything. No convention in your head can replace the tests running against your code. Great for onboarding new devs
This is great feedback. Thank you! I just started learning rails and testing in rails.
I have just that stopper in my journey! I bought the your book. Thanks to create this contents!
Cool, I hope you enjoy it. And if you want to see me apply the theory to a real-world project, come join the live stream ua-cam.com/video/n0SklShST0A/v-deo.html
I completely agree with the approach given here. But I remember not wanting to do tests because I wasn’t good at it so felt like it was a barrier. Looking forward to reading your e-book.
For sure. Not mastering a skill introduces friction, especially when the gap between that skill and the others is higher. But investing in this skill is the best investment (with the highest ROI) of them all.
Let me know what you think about the book.

Your description perfectly matches BDD with Cucumber. Sadly, it's not as popular nowadays.
And in ur youtube i already had seen some of the tutorials. The content in the course is different? Do u use different gems for work ?.
Awesome video I agree that tests are invaluable. Every team I have worked with has required tests for every new feature. If you don't have good tests then the feature is not complete.
Starting with the test (before you implement it) is a complete game changer.

100% agree. Can be difficult for new developers to test first. I tell them to write the code first if you need to. Just make sure you have tests before submitting the PR. With practice you’ll be able to write tests first, and that’s when you’ll know you’ve leveled up.
Have you try using solutions such as Sorbet to add type checking in your ruby / Rails apps?
Yeah sure, but last time I checked it didn't support ruby 3. Maybe things will get better with RBS.
@@mixandgo I agree ruby 3 was missing, but could still help covering a good 70% of what you tend to forget about your project over time. Nice video.
@@stpaquet well, adding types doesn't mean you don't want everything I mention in the video. There's still a ton of surface types can't cover. So Ideally you can have both.
But then there's the time constraint. People chose Rails because it can ship features faster. If you invest a lot of time into making it safe, that value tends to go down quite a bit, and you are probably better off by picking a different language.
I'd say there's a middle ground where you can have enough safety so you don't shoot yourself in the foot, and enough shipping speed to be practical. But it's balancing act for sure.
I gone through the link and felt it is very relevant to me im very serious about learning rails. Is it one time fees then i can always attend meet when u conduct and rest sessions are recorded?and i can watch any number of times?
It's a one-time fee, with recorded lessons and support from me over email and the students forum. You also get assignments and code reviews.
Any tips on how to get junior dev ruby on rails position ? or even internship
Yeah sure, networking is probably your best bet, and your skill level needs to be sharp.
So I would say spend a few months 8h/day leveling up as quickly as possible, and then start networking with Rails folk (meetups, conferences, hackathons, etc.)
@@mixandgo Thank you for the reply, actually I started learning rails 3 years ago , the problem is I always feel unqualified to apply for any kind of jobs, I don't know why its like imposter syndrome , besside I asked a programmer guy and he told me that its rare to find a rails community/developers here so am planing to go remote what do you suggest me as communities
@@Alwalou For one, you will probably feel like that for a very long time. Try to ignore that feeling, it's not helpful. As to online communities, it's not the same. It's a lot harder to make friends online. Traveling to conferences would be easier than trying to find friends online (in my opinion).
@@mixandgo facts! I'm so glad I found your channel I've been a Rails fan since 4.2
It is interesting that there is a russian book in video at 1:20 🙂
Hello i want to know more about Rails course. I'm a rails 7 devloper who just started learning api.
Do you teach api development j want to know about timings of class and recording given if i dint attend?
You can find out more at mixandgo.com/rails-course.
I'm not covering APIs in too much detail (that's a very broad topic, and I wouldn't be able to fit it in this course).
@@mixandgo actually I'm into api development company so basically all i deal with is API so it's getting very difficult for me can I ask u doubts about that too? And How else can this course help me if i already have foundational knowledge of rails and built a project. Api thing is really getting quite challenging for me
@@mixandgo there is lack of resources as well
@@videoeditorshiva shoot me an email at cezar@mixandgo.com so I can tell you all about it
Sure I'll write u an email in next few hr with all my questions please help me with my queries
Test Driven Development, look it up
BDD, look it up ;)
I don’t even get the specs
Well, how do you know what to build then?
Please answer all my questions i can make a final call then
Ruby is Ok, but I hate its LSP, fragile and a lot of times useless
I've written ruby code for 15 years without LSP, and it was fine. You don't really need it.
@@mixandgo ^ an LSP is nice to have but not required most of the time, but yeah the current Ruby LSP by Shopify is very basic right now, It doesn't have much autocompletion functionality and has a few other problems. It will probably get better as time goes on.
