Giving 100% – Working Towards Shared Goals with Ryan Bahan

WordPress.com

Aaron: [laughs] You're saying it's Ruby. So how was that transition for you from doing Drupal, WordPress, and PHP work to making the switch to Ruby?

Vercel

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.

React

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

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.

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.

GitHub

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.
