In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panel discusses code automation. They talk about how automating things tends to make them more efficient and speed the time up it takes to complete them. In a world where time is precious, it’s important to automate anything you can so that you can save yourself valuable time and money. They also touch on the importance of having a structure and a consensus among the company in order to have the best productivity and the pros and cons of using “sprints”.In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
