I suggested the Rake codebase, and this video is an unedited recording of the session. Enjoy!
Wanna get brunch?
May I write to you? I curate a weekly newsletter called BRUNCH. Every Sunday you'll get a short email with a few handpicked links to articles, videos, and other resources that I think are useful to discerning developers. I'll also keep you updated on what I've been publishing lately.
