] Nate asks Ron if his new company is using Rails like his last job. Ron explains how things like deploys are much easier and fast to do now, the differences in traffic, and the use of traditional Rails background jobs.[00:06:23] Ron, Andrew, and Nate discuss the benefit of Rails monolith framework and how it ends up being a single deployed distributed system.[00:10:11] From the, "Nate, please make this a gem file," Nate talks about his layered cache he added to CodeFund which IMMENSELY sped up average response time on the server side well below the 100ms, half of what it was before. Nate goes into details how he did it. Kind of neat! Andrew is flexing hard![00:12:09] Andrew brings up the news of GitHub buying out JavaScript developer platform, NPM. Microsoft is again strengthening its hold on Open Source. Is this a positive thing?[00:16:05] Coronavirus has caused a lot of other businesses to make their employees work at home. At Dev's, quite a few of us already have been in that world for years. Haven't we been training for this our whole lives? Ron's current job has had him working out of the office and now transitioned to home. He discusses how that is going. Did his company have a plan in place? Using remote tools like Tuple to stay connected with the team, and (ugh) email. Nate brings up Hey.com's new email client.[00:20:06] Like a lot of us, Andrew has a lot of unread emails. How many? Find out. Andrew you are NOT alone. The guys go in-depth on email clients and apps.[00:26:27] How do you get in the "deep creative work" zone especially if you have meetings and other things interrupting your day? Do you block off time like Ron? Do you just work late at night? Are you like Nate and use 5 minutes of music to get you in the zone?[00:33:03] Things that interrupt or even help you procrastinate getting into the deep work. Find out the one thing they shut off to stop the interruption.[00:35:35] Social distancing is causing lots of people to be out of work. The boys talk about things they've been doing to help out businesses near them, as well as stories in the news they've read.[00:44:24] Andrew tells Ron and Nate about the GitHub Actions Hackathon going on right now. Andrew has submitted, have you?[00:47:39] Andrew's timing is amazing. He really didn't want to do the Ruby Meetup initially, but now with things like RailsConf getting cancelled & COVID-19...he "may" be all in now?! Stay tuned to the podcast for news on this.Links
