Episode 16: Terrifying Robot Dog
7/27/2012
Running time: 1:24:56
Jonathan and Kelli begin with many-to-many self joins with ActiveRecord, "sticky-finger" swipe in the People.com mobile site, and a philosophy of comments for self-documenting code. And then we go totally off the reservation with broadcasting human senses, cars for the blind, and a truly terrifying robot dog. Fun!
