Teach Your Way To Better Code
summary
Teaching forces you to learn Ruby and Rails deeply by making hidden assumptions explicit, using pair programming and pull‑requests for step‑by‑step knowledge transfer, mob refactoring to align a team, and writing a team style guide to lock in choices. Use Tim Ferriss’s DiSC: deconstruct, select highest‑frequency features, sequence learning, schedule repetition; apply spacing and generation effects; blog fixes you couldn’t Google and give five concrete post types (mistakes, book takeaway, ten‑year lessons, customer confusions, worst advice).
