Posted on 2019-05-25 by Rodrigo Urubatan

This is a very opinionated post, dealing mostly with what I think makes a senior developer, the main focus will be Ruby because that is my main language today, but most of the things I’m commenting here are completely independent of programming language.

Posted on 2018-09-14 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Ok, this is just my opinion, and if you are a junior developer you do not need to know how to put anything in production, but it is your responsibility to learn before you get promoted to anything else than Junior. And I’m not talking just about Ruby developers here, any developer that is not…
