Show Me Your Code

A lightning talk on Minsk.rb on how to show examples of your code when you apply for a job (in Russian).

Quick summary:

Send a link to GitHub, not a zip archive or Google Drive shared folder.
Make sure you have a great commit history.
Clean up your code (remove commented code, remove debug output, etc).
Give context about the code in readme or code comments, highlight most interesting parts.
If your project is under NDA make an extract that shows something about your skill.

Growing Rails Apps (on Minsk.rb in Russian)

Рассказал на Minsk.rb русскую версию моего доклада Growing Rails Apps.

Developers nowadays tend to blame Rails and DHH because they encourage bad practices that lead to a bad code. This is true but there are many good things in Rails we rarely use that help us to write good maintainable code. I show bad examples in popular opensource projects and show you features of Rails that can be used to avoid their mistakes.
