Naming Things is a video show where we pair on an interesting software problem for an hour or so. We could be tracking down a bug in an open source library, digging into a tricky domain modelling problem or going on a meta programming adventure.


Kasper is a long-time Ruby developer and consultant who served on the Rails core team from 2016 to 2022 — he runs a Discord server to help people with Ruby & Rails.
