Maintainable Software Podcast

@inazarova @chadfowler @RubyConfAT @rubylangorg @rails We added md files after this post,t hanks!

I published ruby.evilmartians.com Ruby LLM Discoverability Scorecard after watching @chadfowler 's talk at @RubyConfAT - to ensure that we, the @rubylangorg and @rails community, do our best to be in training data and in agent retrieval. Just updated the data. Here's what's improved in 30 days: - llms.txt +3: @_maintainable , @AppSignal , @flydotio - content negotiation +1 @AppSignal - .md route:+1 @AppSignal - sitemap: +2 @bridgetownrb @any_cable - robots allows AI: +1 Karafka @maciejmensfeld Good job!

3 components of really well-maintained software, according to Alan Ridlehoover:

AI is writing more of your code than ever. But who's checking the behavior? From the Vault: Alan Ridlehoover makes the case for behavior-centric testing to keep systems maintainable. Worth a (re)listen right now. buff.ly/oS8YlA7

If you missed it 👀 @ChrisCoyier joined @RobbyRussell on Maintainable to talk about maintaining CodePen for 15+ years and why maintainability is often more about people than code. Listen here: buff.ly/3bcbYhC

New episode 👀 @ChrisCoyier joins @RobbyRussell to discuss maintaining CodePen for 15+ years, migrating from Rails to Go, and why maintainability is often more about people than code. Listen here: buff.ly/3bcbYhC

Maintainable Podcast Newsletter: - Written for developers, not managers - Robby's commentary on things that don't make it to air - Vault picks (episodes worth revisiting) - New episode alerts with show notes and key links buff.ly/7QtYKWp

"We'll Fix It Later" never works. Let's explore what really needs to happen. The Maintainable newsletter is where Robby keeps the conversation going between episodes. buff.ly/TMp1w6n

@_maintainable Rails has more long-lived production systems than most stacks. The survey data should be interesting.

Catch up with Sally Lait & @RobbyRussell on Maintainable as they talk about confidence as a signal of maintainability. You can feel it in a codebase immediately. 🎧 Listen here: buff.ly/4vZMQeU

Sally Lait joins @RobbyRussell on Maintainable to talk about confidence as a signal of maintainability. Not just code… but how teams feel working in it. Listen here: buff.ly/4vZMQeU

We talk about long-lived software every episode. Now we want to hear from the teams building it. If you work with Rails, let's hear from you! buff.ly/CfR01Ug (The Ruby on Rails Community Survey is led by Planet Argon, the producers of Maintainable Podcast.)

If you missed it this week Rein Henrichs joined @robbyrussell on Maintainable to talk about maintenance, shared understanding, and weak signals. Listen here: buff.ly/dSvKv5E

Rein Henrichs joins @robbyrussell on Maintainable to talk about software maintenance, shared understanding, and why maintenance starts before you touch the code. If your system doesn’t make sense, it won’t stay maintainable. Listen here: buff.ly/dSvKv5E

If you missed it this week, Russ Olsen joined @robbyrussell on Maintainable Software Podcast to talk about maintainability, legacy systems, and forgotten trade-offs. Listen here: buff.ly/6pYkzd8

Russ Olsen joins @robbyrussell on Maintainable Software Podcast to talk about maintainability, trade-offs, and why context matters more than dogma. Understandable code matters more than clever code. Listen here: buff.ly/6pYkzd8

If you missed it this week, Joel Oliveira joined @robbyrussell on Maintainable Software Podcast to talk about predictable codebases, legacy systems, and why small improvements beat big rewrites. Listen here: buff.ly/kJfn0E0

Joel Oliveira joins @robbyrussell on Maintainable to talk about why predictability might be the most underrated feature of maintainable software. Consistent patterns help engineers understand systems faster and make safer changes. Listen here: buff.ly/kJfn0E0
