] Julian tells us all about himself and his background. He also tells us how long he's been programming professionally and with Ruby on Rails.[00:04:24] Nate is wondering what Julian's observation is about the relationship between music and programming or any type of artistic endeavor in programming. Nate mentions a book by Paul Graham called, "Hackers and Painters."[00:06:43] Nate found it interesting that as an experienced programmer, Julian found it intimidating when he first encountered Rails, but had good mentors and friends to help him. He wonders if it was an existing Rails application or was it a new application he was building? Julian explains.[00:10:34] Andrew is curious to know what Julian uses Ruby for now and what his day to day use of Ruby is. Julian mentions doing backend mobile stuff and what he's done.[00:14:25] Julian gives a shout-out to Chris Oliver for Jumpstart Pro App which helped him a lot. Also, he explains his experience with it because Andrew is curious.[00:16:20] Nate is curious to know if a tool in Jumpstart Rails helps or is it introducing more magic? Also, if he came into the project or if it was a new project and he began with Jumpstart, would he have found Rails more approachable? Julian gives us his opinion.[00:21:43] Nate brings up how he agrees with Julian that he thinks three are more things we can do on the Rails community to make it more approachable to newcomers. Julian has a story to share and Andrew mentions a Tweet that was made by Noel Rappin in response to this.[00:25:21] Nate is curious to know if Julian watched any of the old RailsCasts episodes. He makes a point to say how watching these teaching, tutorial websites, and videos are so important to the health of community. Julian lets us know what he did.[00:27:57] Andrew brings us a point by saying that with all the new additions to Rails, it's fair to say that the documentation hasn't kept up with the new features that are getting added in. Nate agrees with this and gives his input as well.[00:29:49] Julian talks about his website he created called, "Better StimulusJS."[00:32:24] Andrew wants Julian to touch on how he found Stimulus Reflex and if he's using it on client projects.
