Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Polyglot. Today I’m speaking with Matthew Draper who is a Principal Engineer at Buildkite as well as a long-time contributor to Ruby on Rails and a member of the Rails Core team. Hi, Matthew, and welcome.
I met Casey at one of my previous jobs and admire the way he designs systems and discusses architecture. He’s a long-time software architect who has been designing solutions for businesses of all sizes for 26 years. I’ve always wanted to be a software architect, but the timing has never worked out. This was a really fun podcast though! Casey has a bunch of great stories to share about designing systems, unintended advertising side effects, and technology hottakes!

Your body has been kind to you. It has tolerated your dehydration, exhaustion, hunger, and lack of exercise without complaint for YEARS. That ends today. This game built using the DragonRuby framework will remind you how generous your body has been with its mistreatment.
Time for another open-source adventure! We’ll be joined by Max Jacobson as we visit the Rust cli-tool Tokei. Tokei generates statistics around your code and language usage. For example, chael.codes looks like:
