00:00:15.560
We're going to play Family Feud, so let's have our two teams come up on stage. Let's give them a round of applause!
00:00:32.210
Shout out to the sound guy—he found this just two seconds ago.
00:00:46.310
So, the rules are pretty straightforward: the teams will answer a series of questions for a chance to win. Whoever wins will earn the moral satisfaction of knowing that they are victorious. Sounds pretty good, right? Alright then, let's have our team captains come on up.
00:01:00.600
Come on up here. First up, who are you two? I'm Aaron.
00:01:24.930
Okay, so the first game we're going to play today is "Log In." Now for the Log In game: which programming language is the most different from Ruby? Take two seconds to think about it. Ready? Answer, go!
00:01:41.369
Kinzie, what do you think one of the answers is? We surveyed people. What do you think is one of the answers they gave? Hot Java.
00:02:16.350
That is correct! Have a seat. Aaron looks disappointed; that's just how it goes.
00:02:22.200
Okay, I know I'm doing this wrong, but that's alright. We're just going to roll with it. We're not starting from the end this time, so let’s start with Ernie.
00:02:37.230
Ernie, what do you want to do? Do you want to defer? We're making this up as we go along. I love it! It's like a scrum session but as a game—who knows what's going on?
00:02:55.620
Alright, so we've decided to defer to Aaron's team. Let's start with Eileen. Pass the mic down to Eileen. You're trying to answer questions and provide answers that you think people gave to this question. If you get three strikes, it goes to the other team, who then gets a chance to steal.
00:03:18.150
So, it goes: Aaron does one, then Justin, then Nadia. Introduce yourself first.
00:03:42.330
I'm Eileen.
00:03:46.290
Alright, what do you think one of the answers is? Fortran. We surveyed people on Twitter, which is quite legit these days.
00:04:01.490
Can I call a friend? No, this isn't that kind of game. Alright, I'm Erin—I mentioned that earlier. I will choose...the question we asked was, 'Which programming language is most different from Ruby?' My guess is Objective-C.
00:04:14.930
Objective-C? I really don't think that's right.
00:04:38.690
Hi everyone, I'm Justin. I feel like we might be hitting a third strike really quickly.
00:05:00.590
Haskell! Haskell is alright—it's still alive, just barely.
00:05:04.220
Hi, I'm Nadia. Let's make up the answers; they might be mad at me. Remember, these were answers given on Twitter. Anyway, would you like to ring in for an answer?
00:05:37.490
Oh, we definitely are. I mean, what do we have to ring in? It's a figure of speech.
00:06:01.919
I'm Ernie, by the way, and we're going with C.
00:06:12.210
Ding! And Kenzie's team gets it. You're curious about what was actually answered, right?
00:06:20.430
The number one answer was Haskell, number two—Brainfuck. A surprising number of people answered this, especially considering the percentages. The fifth answer was Prolog, and number six was assembler, just written as assembler.
00:06:45.720
The seventh was Clojure, and number eight was Erlang. So we've hit the first round—come on up, the second person from your team! Who’s up next?
00:07:12.110
Stand behind me. I did allow for that, so there's no code of conduct violation here. We discussed this earlier.
00:07:39.530
The second game is: if Ruby were an animal, which one would it be?
00:08:26.370
No one answered snake, unfortunately.
00:08:43.350
Ernie, would you like to try for Fox?
00:08:44.690
Yes, absolutely, Fox is on there. Now, Ernie would like to defer, so Eileen, you're going to get another shot.
00:08:51.790
Have a seat for now, Eileen. We're going to Erin.
00:09:12.279
What do you think people would say about what kind of animal Ruby is? I'm going to go with cat.
00:09:37.790
Cat is a good answer! Ding ding ding. Justin, you can't tell me people didn’t consider a dog. That would definitely be a number one answer!
00:09:46.680
Nadia, you need an answer! Rabbit?
00:10:11.320
Okay, let’s go back to Eileen. Strike one—it’s your turn.
00:10:14.730
Eileen, give a guess! Hm, a squirrel?
00:10:28.310
Aaron, you have one strike left. Let's go with lions. Good answer! We have one person on the Twitter thread who said lion.
00:10:54.900
You saved us, you kept us in the game! I need an answer, though.
00:11:05.790
Can we say bird? It’s a bit too general, but if you think someone would have said that, let’s go with it.
00:11:23.080
Kinzie, we’re going to go with unicorn—interesting choice, given that it’s not a real animal!
00:11:35.600
However, people are strange, and we’re doing great! Normally this would be the time when they do interviews and someone might creepily kiss another person on the cheek.
00:12:04.100
Well, we’re most definitely not doing that. We have five games, and Kenzie’s team is currently up two to nothing over Aaron’s team.
00:12:34.090
Alright, representatives from the teams, come up here. We’re changing the slap protocol, so come on up. Thank you, audience!
00:12:56.832
Number five on the list was koala. What?! It seems that many Australians participated in this quiz.
00:13:19.050
Number six was platypus, and I would have thought that duck would have been higher.
00:13:31.300
Next up, our new game is to name a popular gem other than Rails. On three: one, two, three!
00:14:07.580
Go, Nadia! Is devise on the list? Let’s have a look!
00:14:28.420
You think it would be, but do you want to take it or defer?
00:14:56.350
Currently, the strategy has been understood, so we’re starting with Sam.
00:15:10.880
Hi everyone, I’m Sam, and I think... Okay, Sam, on this list, I’d like to go ahead and guess aspect.
00:15:40.990
Oh, that’s a great choice! I’m not surprised it’s on the list.
00:16:05.400
In the interlude, we’d like to mention a little gem known as Nokogiri.
00:16:37.170
That's right! Nokogiri is definitely on there.
00:17:01.199
Now, Valerie, the question again in the survey was, 'Name a popular gem other than Rails.' Technically, it did not say ruby gem, but feel free to go down that rabbit hole.
00:17:30.429
I need an answer! HTTP party? That counts as two strikes.
00:18:01.200
Bundler!
00:18:35.270
Now back to Ernie, you're still alive, barely.
00:18:41.420
Mini test? Just squeaking it in. Still alive!
00:19:16.970
The number two answer that people went with is... Let's hear from random people online. Oh, I need an answer!
00:19:50.680
Factory Bot or Factory Girl. Now to steal back over to Aaron's team: we still have three answers on the board.
00:20:09.990
You just got to answer one. Sinatra!
00:20:31.590
The results are surprising! Number two on the list was Pry.
00:20:58.320
And you all missed rake and number seven. People on the internet have all kinds of wacky ideas.
00:21:31.860
Okay, Kinsey’s team is victorious; they’re up three to nothing.
00:21:40.130
However, you all don’t have anything else to do, so we’re going to keep playing. Maybe we’ll have a special double or nothing round.
00:21:59.119
Alright, send up a representative! Come on up, Sam. Where are you from?
00:22:21.250
It’s a big island; anywhere specific? A little hamlet?
00:22:38.510
Oh right, Romsey—I didn’t get that right. Who are you, Justin? Can you show me on your hand where you're from?
00:22:56.830
Alright, cool! So, where the thumb muscle is? That’s good!
00:23:20.430
Okay, let’s move on to the next question: which enumerable method is most interesting?
00:23:40.990
Here we go! Nadia, it’s your turn!
00:23:58.270
Inject! That’s a good one!
00:24:42.939
Map!
00:25:05.120
That’s a good one; Aaron, it's your turn! Some folks might say interval methods in general.
00:25:18.520
So, do aliases count? Yes!
00:26:39.219
Alright! Sam, what do you think?
00:26:58.960
Each with index!
00:27:06.080
Aaron takes the point! The comeback begins.
00:27:19.829
The number one answer for 'most interesting enumerable method' was lazy, which seems accurate.
00:27:39.759
Thank you for participating! The survey had other answers, but we don't have enough time to go through everything.
00:27:57.450
Let's give a round of applause to our players today!
00:28:10.000
Thanks so much for playing! I hope you all had fun and are ready for the afternoon. Get out there and have fun! Goodbye!
