Jumpstart follows 26-year-old Virginia ‘Billie’ Walton as she chokes on a healthy dose of reality. Trading her mother’s opulent lifestyle for a beaten-up Toyota, Billie hits the road with nothing but her car, cigarettes, and absolutely zero life skills. But when basin-bathing at gas stations loses its charm, Billie has to face her worst nightmare - finding a job. Armed with nothing but her silver tongue, can Billie talk her way into employment before her luck runs out?

Really amazing documentary! Been using Rails for the last couple of years and it’s just so productive for a small team to build product and follow well established patterns in building business logic.
I’d recommend to those interested in seeing how a real Rails app is structured to look at the Jumpstart codebase as it’s a great resource on how to structure things

As an alternative Bullet Train is pretty good, even though it adds a lot of bespoke libraries that aren’t the “Rails way”
