That's pretty cool. Nice. I'll be pointing some people that I know are super interested in that to you, actually.

Luke, what do you have for us this week?

It's a great read. Awesome. So I have a couple of picks for this week. One is actually something that's been out for quite some time now, but I really wasn't introduced to it until very recently. It's called ASDF.

If you're familiar with RBM or RVM or any other version manager or any language, ASDF is more or less a similar thing, except that it's really just cross-language, cross-tool kind of thing. They have plugins for things like Postgres and MySQL.

I don't really see a lot of value with Postgres personally, but I did see, I was trying this out on a project that had MySQL and switching between versions is legit.

Basically, the thing about this tool is it's really for making it so that you can set up your development machine to switch between versions of Python and Ruby and Node and your database that you have and a whole bunch of different tools. I mostly use Docker these days. So this really isn't like a thing that I'm going to use all the time.

But I do have a couple like outlying projects that are just fun. And so I explicitly, I was introduced to this. I was like, all right, I'm gonna try this out. It's legit. So I don't know that I'm ready to completely give up RVM for this yet. Mostly because I do almost all Ruby work. But it's definitely taking some mindshare up in my brain at this point. So it's pretty cool.

Definitely recommend checking that out.

To prepare for this episode, I also bought a collection of Raspberry Pi related devices.

So I too could code along with Valentino's Ruby guide. And as he says, the Python is infested, absolutely infested the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. There's Python everywhere. And trying to root it out, trying to root it out of your hardware, getting a kind of Ruby pitchfork and digging all of the Python out of the examples is really fantastic work. So thank you very much for doing that.
