Episode 28 - Matt Swanson
Hands down my most boring episode to date. In this episode I'm joined by Mr. "Boring Rails" himself, Matt Swanson. We talk about removing premature abstractions, how decision fatigue impacts exploration, and revisiting ActionMailer (and finding it to be better than we remember). Even though Matt is notorious for sticking to boring tech the conversation was still great and I'm looking forward to having him on again. Maybe to talk about TypeScript? ;) Links: @_swanson on Twiiter (or X or whatever)...

Fresh off his Ruby Kaigi talk, Vini Stock, joins the show to talk about all things Ruby LSP.
