Can you tell if a Ruby gem is really thread-safe or not? And how do you fix a seemingly thread-safety issue that can be something else entirely? We had no idea. So we asked Nate Berkopec to help us. Nate is an expert in Ruby performance. The verdict: nuking all shared global mutable state in your Ruby code is a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing! Listen to this episode to learn: - How and why faker-ruby became thread-unsafe, especially for Puma users - Questions to ask yourself when trying to debug thread-safety issues - Shared global mutable state is not always the villain, and is not the source of all thread-safety issues - Nate's "watch-out" list of things that can cause undesired behavior when running multi-threaded Ruby applications: Constants, Class Variables, and Rack Middleware.

SuperLemon is a WhatsApp plugin for Shopify stores serving over 20k users with 1.5k paying customers. It recently crossed 30k dollars in MRR, and all of this growth happened in about 14 months.

1 #17 Adopting Shape Up: How Raymond Huang is running Shape Up at Unbounce 54:58
54:58 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요54:58
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요We are all competent in the team, but why do the projects always get delayed, why did we run into problems? We do sprints, we do sprint planning, something is not working. Shape Up helped me get the right balance between long-term and short-term planning. Does that ring a bell? Our guest, Raymond Huang , told us how Shape Up helped his team get the right balance between long term and short-term planning and deliver better software. As a developer, you know that estimates are hard, and you can't know everything ahead of time while planning. You also know that some of the 'agile' tools are not really helping. You've tried Scrum, but you are doing Kanban instead. The team struggles to ship and misses the deadline and we see all the failed goals on the sprint chart. Shape Up was written to help with that problem. Shape Up is the latest book from Basecamp . It's a guide on how they do Product Strategy. In this episode, we learned how Raymond applied the ideas from Shape Up at Unbounce . We asked questions such as: Would Shape Up work in my company? How do I convince my team to try it? How to start adopting Shape Up? Do I need to follow all the steps described in the book? If I had to choose only one takeaway from Shape Up, which one would it be? How do I shape a cycle? Will I finally get rid of my team's Tech Debt Backlog? If you enjoyed this episode, let Raymond now.

1 #16 Finding Product-Market Fit with Kenny MacKenzie 1:30:25
1:30:25 나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요1:30:25
나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요"Most startup founders don't want to prove themselves wrong. There's an inherent bias, they hear what they want to hear, and they go seeking the information to prove themselves right because they've attached themselves to their idea." -- Kenny MacKenzie Kenny is an expert in product-market fit and market validation and has been mentoring startup founders for many, many years. After creating his own startup, raising money, building a product, launching it and seeing it fail because of a lack of product-market fit, Kenny spent loads of energy trying to reflect on those mistakes so he could understand the causes of startup failure and the tactical and strategic frameworks and practices that will improve the chances of business success. He identified very common types of cognitive biases that early-stage founders will face, such as a lack of product-market fit, false positives, and not knowing what problem you're trying to solve or who you're trying to help. These things lead to errors of judgment that will surely kill a startup. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you need to act like a scientist/private investigator, find the right problems, experiment and learn from customers before you write any line of code or build anything. This will improve your chances of being a successful startup founder. "You're not a developer, you're not an engineer, you're not an entrepreneur. You're a scientist/private investigator. Think of the market opportunity as a crime, there is a criminal out in the loose and they keep hurting all these different people. You're trying to understand that criminal's pattern of behavior. The criminal is the market need. You're investigating, not trying to force your will on the world. Once you understand a meaningful problem that people have, then you can start being the visionary." -- Kenny MacKenzie Thanks to our sponsors: VanHack helps great tech talent get jobs abroad.

According to him, you need to be very persistent when you want to introduce good practices to an established team and you need to lead by example. That helped him unlock the potential of the engineering team by introducing testing, pair-programming and mentoring. He has been a mentor for a very long time and is very passionate about it: "Pair programming is mentoring just by itself. I always learn something new by pair-programming, it doesn't matter how experienced they are".
