Giving 100% – Working Towards Shared Goals with Ryan Bahan

• TypeScript

  1,302 97,832 9.9 TypeScript

  TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  

  Ryan: Yeah, for sure. For me personally, learning TypeScript really helped my other parallel learnings. I've done just a little bit of mobile and backend work, and going into Swift or Kotlin having similar sort of IntelliSense type features was just amazing. It's like, oh, perfect. It's all right here in front of me. And then, we use Sorbet at Shopify, which has similar functionality for Rails. So it's one of those things that it feels like as an industry, that's just there now for the better.

• Django

  484 76,573 9.9 Python

  The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

  

  Aaron: Yeah, it definitely is coming along. I know there are, at least in Python, there are still a few projects, Django being one who's waiting for Black to hit version one. We said that once Black hits version one, then we would run Django through Black from that point onwards. Then Django, too, will be autoformatted, which I'm not sure if it has just happened or it's just about to happen. I'm not sure. We have a board meeting next week. I'm sure I'll find out then [laughs], or it happened weeks ago if you're listening to this podcast in the future.

• WorkOS

  workos.com

  sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• vercel

  476 12,121 9.8 TypeScript

  Develop. Preview. Ship.

  

  Ryan: And it just feels like in more recent memory, Netlify and Vercel and some companies really made things so ridiculously ergonomic and easy to make and deploy apps. I think it makes us all better. We can understand what a good product looks and feels like better. We can be more inclusive to people at different stages of their journey and get people up and running much faster. So yeah, I'm absolutely all for it.

• sorbet

  53 3,524 9.9 Ruby

  A fast, powerful type checker designed for Ruby

  

  Ryan: Yeah, for sure. For me personally, learning TypeScript really helped my other parallel learnings.

• React

  1,686 221,535 9.8 JavaScript

  The library for web and native user interfaces.

  

  Ryan: So I graduated Turing in June 2020. It was not an easy market to be in. I basically did a couple of months of contracting for a small agency working in React. We were basically working on like a DoorDash clone for beaches because, again, in Florida, people were still going to beaches at this time.

• kotlin

  208 47,415 10.0 Kotlin

  The Kotlin Programming Language.

  

  Ryan: Yeah, for sure. For me personally, learning TypeScript really helped my other parallel learnings. I've done just a little bit of mobile and backend work, and going into Swift or Kotlin having similar sort of IntelliSense type features was just amazing. It's like, oh, perfect.

• foundation

  210 86 0.0

  GraphQL Foundation Charter and Legal Documents (by graphql)

  

  Ryan: Yeah. So we did React at Turing for a couple of months. And I was lucky enough that a lot of the stuff taught at Turing translated. Shopify is a well-known Ruby on Rails shop. They use React in the frontend. I think the big differences for me were TypeScript and GraphQL, both of which I've come to really, really love.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• git

  616 8,056 0.0 C

  A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

  

  But yeah, you talk with a couple of different people. They ask you why you want to get into it and do some problem-solving. And then you go into they call it Mod 0 or they did at the time. I think they still call it that, though, which is like a pre-course where after you've been accepted, before you really get into the meat of things, you make a GitHub account, learn a little bit about Git and some command line basics and then dive right in for seven months.

• Puts Debuggerer

  3,144 91 5.5 Ruby

  Ruby library for improved puts debugging, automatically displaying bonus useful information such as source line number and source code.
