Software applications have taken over our lives. We use and are used by software many times a day. Nevertheless, we know very little about the invisibly ubiquitous workers who write software. Who are they and how do they perceive their own practice? How does that shape the ways in which they collaborate to build the myriad of apps that we use every day? Coderspeak provides a critical approach to the digital transformation of our world through an engaging and thoughtful analysis of the people who write software. It is a focused and in-depth look at one programming language and its community – Ruby - based on ethnographic research at a London company and conversations with members of the wider Ruby community in Europe, the Americas and Japan. One of the philosophies of the Ruby language (and of its community) is that there are many ways of doing something. Everything is open for modification in Ruby. Elements that most language designers wouldn’t allow programmers to change, Ruby allows. With Ruby you are free to add what you want – although, as we’ll see, not everyone agrees that’s a good idea. Being able to extend the language is key to Ruby’s philosophy, however, and blocks are a key structure for the programmer to exercise this freedom to extend the language. A block can do anything: that’s why it is the one mandatory structure in the Ruby language. If you think in blocks, then Ruby is for you. It fits your brain and it makes you happy.
