] Joel starts off by saying it's an exciting time for the project with all the changes going on and he discusses some of these changes. He also talks about why View Component is not going to be in Rails 6.1 and is that a good thing or bad thing?[00:07:32] Joel talks about having 126 components and goes into further detail about them. Primer Design System and App Directory are mentioned. He also goes more in depth about the different forms in the component library.[00:12:01] Andrew asks Joel to explain what are some things you should use components for and what are some things you should not?[00:24:31] Chris mentions how there is some kind of organizing stimulus controllers with a component, but he wonders how does Joel look at the JavaScript part of those components? Joel explains here.[00:29:48] Joel mentions although it's been nerve wrecking for him to work on this project, he makes it very clear that he's been phenomenally well supported by several people who are mentoring him. There are also so many people that are working with him internally and providing so much support and guidance, which helps to create this welcoming environment.[00:35:10] Joel makes a comment that for an Open Source project, one of the best gifts anyone from the community can give him is a failing test. Find out why.[00:39:44] Andrew asks Joel what's next for View Component and if he had a dream of something it could become, what is next?[00:44:20] Joel makes a great point by saying that the reason we need to Open Source the components we are working on is that we learn so much more from actual complex examples. Why is this?[00:47:52] Joel makes a point to say that the most important skill for a Rails engineer to have is good data modeling and understanding good database design. He gives a shout out to the "High Scalability" site that has done more for Joel's success in engineering interviews than any other resource.[00:50:27] Joel has some final inspiring words about how much better off humanity would be if we were all working on these problems together and this is what Open Source is all about. It's about sharing what we're learning with other people. Andrew also chimes in with some good advice.[00:54:22] Joel wraps it up with one final thing to say about the project and Andrew gives a homework assignment to those listening.LinksJoel Hawksley: GitHub Joel Hawksley: Website ViewComponent Primer High Scalability RailsConf 2019 Rethinking the View Layer with ComponentsSpecial Guest: Joel Hawksley.★ Transistor.fm is now hosting an archive of the podcast for us.
