    - Folks getting into Ruby recently
    - [Odin project](https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/full-stack-ruby-on-rails/courses/ruby-programming)
    - Finding a good starter project
    - Something for a friend, ideally with a deadline
    - something you can get excited about
    - Feelings on Rails Turbo
    - Comparison to python https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6971961568645259264/
    - Finding new ruby remote jobs with good parental leave policies
    - Javascript/Typescript, value of typing
    - Maybe ruby duct typing is just good enough, playing with sorbet
    - "Abuse the ducks"
    - CodingCoders... podcast with ernesto https://podcast.drbragg.dev/episodes/episode-10-ernesto-tagwerker/
    - RubyConf/Mini attendees https://rubyconf.org/
    - taking the Amtrak from Philly to Providence for RubyConfMini
    - How beginner friendly are conferences
    - RubyKaigi? pretty hardcore
    - rubyconf & mini, especially mini. The two tracks are there to help balance audience level
    - Early programming training https://youandtheboss.com/
    - https://exercism.org/ or hackerrank are good too, but probably don't address the very beginner space too well
    - Rails & Turbo & React, finding the balance. Will the user expect constant live updating for this? Yes, then React might be good, No? then page refresh is probably okay
    - Turbo might be able to help address this "Which Single Page App framework?" question (just use Turbo)
    - Changes over time: Back in the day JS was always there (the jquery layer), but you could get away without getting into it, Turbo/Stimulus offers a similar path where you can get some interactivity without getting too deep into SPA space
    - [DDH modern demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpWFrUwAN88)
    - Shape up book: https://basecamp.com/shapeup, one designer, two full stack engineers - rails comes from a perspective of these small groups hammering out a scoped feature. The react/rails gap probably wouldn't play into that as well.
