  • Surprisingly philosophical

    I went in thinking I would get an interesting conversation between two coders about code. I got that, but also much more. Tangents into consciousness, infinity, and other philosophical topics make this show stand out.

    Jason. This is not terrible.

  • A top recomendation

    I have been following this podcast from the start. Jason’s relaxed easy going style and willingness to dig into the why of a topic is just one of the values you can get out of this podcast. So much is learned from the tangents, that often occur, while talking with guest that those side-tracks are icing on the cake. I find myself sharing links to many of the episodes with my team since the topics are so pertinent to current development ideals.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

326 - Bruno Sutic, Creator of RailsBilling
Q: What have you learned about marketing technical tools and finding product-market fit in the developer space?
The host and Bruno discuss how developer tools often struggle with marketing; Bruno emphasizes that strong product value and community signals matter more than aggressive marketing. He shares that his product has had limited market traction, with a couple of friends as customers and a single real customer, and stresses the importance of channels, SEO, and relationships over traditional sales funnels.
326 - Bruno Sutic, Creator of RailsBilling
Q: Tell me about how RailsBilling came to be and what you were hoping to solve with it.
Bruno explains that RailsBilling grew out of his previous work on a complex Stripe integration, where he needed an inline card input, multi-plan subscriptions, and robust 3DS handling. He extracted the library from that project to create a gem that offers a better UX and pricing flexibility, and he hoped it would become a go-to solution for Rails apps needing Stripe subscriptions.
327 - Will Carey, CTO of Brand New Box
Q: For those who might not have caught our first episode, tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm Will Carey, CTO of Brand New Box, a web design and development agency. We partner with clients to determine the software they actually need, primarily using Ruby on Rails, and we focus on aligning technical delivery with business goals and customer realities.
312 - AI, Observability, and Entrepreneurship with John Gallagher
Q: What are the three ideas you brought up?
John shares his focus on reducing observability costs, improving testing methodologies in the age of AI, and decreasing downtime through enhanced observability.
310 - Brad Taylor, Fractional CTO
Q: How do you get your clients?
Brad emphasizes the importance of his extensive network developed over 20 years in the industry, primarily relying on word of mouth for new client connections, while also contributing insights through his writing about AI strategy.
