Ruby on Rails Podcast: Taking over Fireside.fm
I was stoked when I discovered that the Ruby on Rails podcast is hosted on our platform – fireside.fm. So I reached out to Elise for feedback and to volunteer Garrett and I for an episode.
We recorded last week and its already live today. Our chat covered taking over an outdated Rails app and all the progress we’ve made modernizing it the past few months. We even threw in a few stories of battle scars earned.
Enjoy!
P.S. It’s been 5 years since I was last on the rails pod (Brittany Martin was the host).
Update 2026-10-01: Two years in, almost nothing from the outdated app we took over is left. Garrett and I told the rest of the story, including Postgres 9.5 to 18 in one hop, in episode one of our new podcast, The Friday Deploy.
