In this episode, Chris and Andrew dive into the intricacies of tracking changes in Rails models using gems like Paper Trail and Audited. They discuss challenges faced in bulk actions like 'update all' and 'destroy all' that don't trigger Active Record callbacks. The conversation explores potential solutions, including overriding methods and using wrappers to ensure changes are logged efficiently without significant performance hits. They also touch upon mentorship and the importance of learning fundamental Ruby skills to master Rails development. The discussion also extends to experiences at RailsConf, the impact of community interactions, and reflections on career growth through continuous learning and mentorship.
