220 - Sin City Ruby 2024 Recap with Andrew Atkinson

On today's episode, Andrew Atkinson joins me once again for a
recap of events at Sin City Ruby 2024.  We also talk about
Andrew's new Postgres consulting venture, his upcoming book High
Performance PostgreSQL for Rails and what he learned in the
process of writing the book,  deciding how to communicate
what you do as a consultant, naming things appropriately, how
poor decision making in the early stages in the creation of an
app can make it prohibitively expensive to fix later,  how
consulting jobs can naturally grow into new opportunities for
work, being a generalist vs being a specialist, and Andrew's
upcoming speaking engagements.
