🎤 Destroy All Hashes: Rid yourself of primitive obsession to improve at OOP 🎤
One of the hardest parts of getting better at Ruby for me was finding objects and not just making procedural code. What helped me was seeing my data as objects and using them as such rather than keeping them as hashes.
In this talk, I go over the problem where I learned that there where objects hidden in my data structures. I go over all the warning signs that I went past for quite a long time before I made the adjustment. I also go over what you get from the adjustment.

Rails API, React & Authentication: Secure, and Easy Token-Based Authentication
I'm a huge fan of spinning up a front-end server running React, and a separate, back-end server using a Rails API, but found it frustrating to find a reliable way to handle authentication without hand-rolling.
Enter: devise_token_auth and j-Toker
In this talk, I'll discuss the following:
What is token-based authentication?How can we integrate devise_token_auth into a Rails appWhat is the most effective way for a front-end, React app to interact with this auth framework?Bio
