Hey, Ruby Rogues fans. I'm Jamin Holmgren, co-founder of Infinite Red. I used to do a lot of Ruby back in the day, including building iOS apps with RubyMotion. Anyone remember that? These days, we're a small but experienced team of 30 React Native consultants. We've been around since 2015, and we have a lot of experience in building React Native mobile apps and more, going all the way back to the beginning when it was first released. So if you're looking for expert help building, optimizing, deploying, and supporting a React Native app, I'd love to chat. Just go to infinite.red slash Ruby Rogues. And don't forget to mention that you heard about us through the Ruby Rogues podcast so that we can keep sponsoring the show. Now, back to the episode.
welcome to ruby rogues today on our panel this week we have dave kimura hi everyone and we have luke stutters hi and i'm john epperson and for a guest this week we have caseid leo lu yes hi welcome would you tell us what you're famous for what you do just a little bit about you so we can get kind of going here sure i'm currently working at shopify on the ruby and rails infrastructure team
I've been at Shopify for about a year and a half. And since I've joined, I've been first on the Rails upgrade project. And then I quickly switched over to the Sorbet adoption team. And so we spearheaded the adoption of Sorbet across our monolith and across our other code bases as well. And now I'm slowly transitioning to being the team lead for the Ruby part of the team. So the team will be responsible for contributing to MRI and contributing to survey, basically solving and maintaining and building on the open source Ruby foundations. I've been in the software development industry for over 20 years. I've worked with various statically typed, dynamically typed languages across that time. Initially, I was working in a startup.
I was one of the founding employees where we were developing voice XML based applications and we built a voice XML platform. And then we did like various networking things, voice over IP, text to speech, speech recognition, et cetera, et cetera. I had a short stint in between for a couple of years doing startup acceleration and then went back to developing software. And so, yeah, that's me in a nutshell.
Wow. So there've been a couple of talks that you've given at RubyConf that I know about. I don't know if you've given more than that, but... Yeah.
I had one talk at RubyConf 2019 last year, and I also submitted a RailsConf 2020, the couch edition, the remote one. I also had a talk there.
Yep. Sorry about the confusion. One was on Sorbet and one was on the network. I know that I particularly, for one, am interested in hearing about your adoption at Sorbet. I think that's super interesting to me. Anything that you particularly want to note about either of those things that you're super interested in yourself?
I think we can maybe talk about the network stack video and the talk from RailsConf near the end of the show if we have time, because I think most people would be interested in Sorbet adoption and how a company with a code base as large as Shopify has adapted been successfully adopting it. I'm presuming that's what most of the listeners would be interested in. So we can get started with that if you want.
How large is the Shopify code base? Because Shopify moved $41 billion of merchandise in 2018. $41 billion of B. How many dollars per line of code does that work out to?
I haven't calculated that. I don't know. But in case some of the listeners aren't familiar with the company, maybe I should just give a quick intro to what Shopify does. So Shopify is a leading global commerce company that provides tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. So it started off in 2006. code base that was built on rails pre 1.0. So it was the time of rails when it was still being shared as zip files. And it's been growing ever since it started as an e-commerce platform. And it's grown into being a multi-touch general commerce platform. So it provides solutions both for e-commerce and also in-store commerce, in-person commerce. So it has many solutions now. It supports more than 1 million merchants now.
