Let’s talk about adulting— actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant , licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life . With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

In this episode of Dead Code, Jared talks with Marco Roth about Herb, a new fault-tolerant parser for HTML and ERB designed to improve the developer experience in the Rails ecosystem. Unlike tools like Deface or Nokogiri, Herb doesn’t auto-correct or mask errors—it parses templates exactly as written, enabling better diagnostics, formatting, and linting for server-rendered views, especially in Hotwire, Turbo, and Stimulus contexts. Built in C for portability and speed, Herb can be used across Ruby, JavaScript, and browsers via WebAssembly. Marco created it after running into limitations with existing tooling while building the Stimulus LSP. Future plans include deeper integration with tools like Ruby LSP and possibly enabling LiveView-style reactive rendering in Rails. Developers can try it today via a VS Code extension or the interactive web playground.

In this episode of Dead Code , Jared talks with Alan Ridlehoover, Senior Engineering Manager at Cisco Meraki, about managing software complexity through clear abstractions and thoughtful design. Using a metaphor of a vending-style coffee machine, Alan explains how complexity often arises not from algorithms but from code that’s hard to understand due to excessive abstraction or poor structure. He emphasizes focusing on the readability of what’s directly in front of you, using tools like flog and the ABC metric to quantify complexity, while also trusting gut instinct and applying heuristics like Sandi Metz’s five-line rule. Alan discusses minimizing over-engineering, favoring well-named private methods over inline comments, and stresses that code and commit messages—not comments—should tell the story. He also introduces “rehydration,” the process of adding back duplication to reveal better abstractions, helping developers make their code more maintainable and easier to change over time.

He discusses the Ruby community's progress in thread safety, driven by tools like Puma and Sidekiq, and contrasts Ruby's "colorless" concurrency model with JavaScript's explicit async/await syntax, emphasizing Ruby's reduced cognitive overhead. JP also shares his experience contributing to Ruby's M:N thread scheduler for macOS, advocating for developers to rely on vetted concurrency tools like concurrent-ruby and async instead of manually managing threads. He concludes by stressing the importance of avoiding global state, breaking tasks into smaller pieces, and approaching concurrency with a thoughtful mindset.

In this episode of Dead Code, Jared Norman and guest Noah Gibbs, author of Rebuilding Rails and Mastering Software Technique , discuss programming as an art form rather than purely a business or engineering practice. They explore how programming, much like traditional art, thrives on creativity and self-expression, with languages like Ruby enabling this through flexibility and elegance, even at the cost of performance. Noah critiques the modern tech ecosystem for prioritizing profit over innovation, stifling creativity with rigid business structures. Highlighting parallels between programming and traditional art education, he advocates focusing on skill and craft instead of monetary incentives. Jared reflects on how these ideas challenge his perspective as a software company owner, urging listeners to consciously define their motivations and reclaim programming as a creative pursuit. The episode, produced by Mandy Moore, invites developers to rethink their relationship with their craft and the systems shaping their work.

In this Dead Code episode, Jared Norman hosts Aji Slater, Development Team Lead at thoughtbot, to discuss “incremental automation,” a concept that advocates for gradually automating tasks by refining them with small steps rather than investing large amounts of time upfront. Aji explains that capturing each step of repetitive tasks enables developers to tweak processes over time, which reduces friction and saves effort without disrupting workflows. Starting with “do-nothing scripts” that print steps or copy commands, developers can progressively automate, building efficiencies that enhance productivity and prevent burnout. Aji also emphasizes sharing these incremental improvements across teams, so everyone benefits from the refined workflows without repeating the same manual work.

In this Dead Code episode, Jessica Kerr (Jessitron) joins host Jared Norman to explore the evolving nature of experimentation and learning in software development. Jessica reflects on her shift from valuing software’s determinism to embracing the unpredictability of distributed systems and human factors. She explains that traditional scientific methods, like A/B testing, often fall short in complex, socio-technical environments, where dynamic learning and observing real-world impacts are crucial. At Honeycomb, she practices a holistic approach to experimentation, viewing each system and team as a “symmathesy”—a mutual learning environment where insights flow between developers and the software. Jessica emphasizes that continuous improvement relies on knowledge sharing and storytelling within teams, urging developers to approach retrospectives as genuine feedback loops to refine processes, connect with teammates, and foster growth.
