 2017-03-23 09:36:41	josetonyp	Hi
 2017-03-23 09:36:58	gmacdougall	Good Day. How are you doing?
 2017-03-23 09:37:32	josetonyp	Good, you? is kind of early morning over there right?
 2017-03-23 09:38:28	gmacdougall	Yeah, we're at GMT-4 now. So it's just after 9:30.
 2017-03-23 09:40:31	gmacdougall	As I mentioned previously, we're doing a series of blogs so that people can get to know each of the presenters at the conference. I'm just going to ask a few questions and we'll turn that in to a sensible blog post which should get people excited for the conference and to see your talk. Sound good?
 2017-03-23 09:41:06	josetonyp	sounds very good idea
 2017-03-23 09:41:36	gmacdougall	First, could you please give us a quick introduction to yourself?
 2017-03-23 09:43:37	josetonyp	I've studied Electronic Engeneering and got interested more into the web world during my career so I continue in this area. I'm a Senior/Full Stack Dev at Bitspire. I've been working with Ruby for 6 years now and before I was working mostly with PHP.
 2017-03-23 09:44:07	gmacdougall	How long have you been working with Spree and Solidus?
 2017-03-23 09:44:08	josetonyp	I started working with websites at 2001 in Actionscript indeed and HTML 1
 2017-03-23 09:44:20	josetonyp	the last year and a half
 2017-03-23 09:44:22	josetonyp	I'll say
 2017-03-23 09:44:44	josetonyp	first assisting with the Payone gem integration
 2017-03-23 09:45:21	josetonyp	and now full time working in 2 stores http://bestmadeco.com/  and https://www.othr.com/ 
 2017-03-23 09:45:43	josetonyp	BestmadeCo is still Spree but Othr was migrated to Solidus
 2017-03-23 09:46:02	josetonyp	also I've been working on the developing of the Gem for integrating Klarna Payments
 2017-03-23 09:46:12	josetonyp	to solidus 1.x for the moment
 2017-03-23 09:46:19	gmacdougall	You mentioned that you're a full stack dev? What sort of things do you do on an average day at work?
 2017-03-23 09:47:11	josetonyp	So far I normally go from solving issues in servers, revising Chef deployments scripts to fixing silly bugs in CSS
 2017-03-23 09:47:27	josetonyp	that is not my favourite part but sometimes you have to do it
 2017-03-23 09:48:05	josetonyp	The last year I spend most of the time making Spree/Solidus modifications for this clients
 2017-03-23 09:49:54	gmacdougall	Can you give us an overview of what you're going to be speaking about at SolidusConf?
 2017-03-23 09:50:53	josetonyp	After working with Klarna Payment Gateway and Payone I realized that a fair introduction to Payments in Solidus would improve the process of this integration
 2017-03-23 09:51:50	josetonyp	I had to read back and forth the models and use railroady gem to analyse the structure of code
 2017-03-23 09:52:19	josetonyp	so I though on giving a fair introduction to the topic for people who wants to modify or create new integrations
 2017-03-23 09:53:13	gmacdougall	It's a challenging topic, but something lots of us have to deal with. What were some of thoe most challenging things you ran in to along the way?
 2017-03-23 09:53:43	josetonyp	Well at the very first Why ActiveMerchant?
 2017-03-23 09:54:04	josetonyp	We could implement both of our integration without it, but still we respect the API
 2017-03-23 09:54:22	josetonyp	then I understood that is that respect what bring coherence to the whole payment design
 2017-03-23 09:55:17	josetonyp	also was challenging to see at first sight how is this magic of "I press purchase" and then my credit card or in our last case "Klarna API" receive the request
 2017-03-23 09:55:43	josetonyp	so we need to divide the design into a Gateway and SDK and join them to work into solidus
 2017-03-23 09:56:06	josetonyp	very challenging testing suits, error bubbling and responses
 2017-03-23 09:56:35	gmacdougall	I'm not sure about everyone else, but I know exactly what you're speaking of
 2017-03-23 09:56:56	josetonyp	Yup, I also know that you know because I had to read a lot of code from you
 2017-03-23 09:57:05	gmacdougall	Haha!
 2017-03-23 09:57:30	josetonyp	including the inclusion of the Reimbursement in StoreCredits that in Spree is a Gem and in solidus in part of the core
 2017-03-23 09:57:44	gmacdougall	We're a bit spoiled these days with payment gateways that offer reasonable support, documentation, and even a gem to help work with them
 2017-03-23 09:57:50	josetonyp	so in the project I'm working now I had to use your code again
 2017-03-23 09:58:03	gmacdougall	I used to be impressed by someone who gave me documentation in a PDF that was in the same language I spoke...
 2017-03-23 09:58:31	josetonyp	well that is the intention for Klarna, the want their Gem to be fully compatible
 2017-03-23 09:58:49	gmacdougall	What are you looking forward to most at SolidusConf?
 2017-03-23 09:59:11	josetonyp	I'm very exited that I can speak at the conf
 2017-03-23 09:59:24	josetonyp	my last conf was many years ago in Spain
 2017-03-23 10:00:20	josetonyp	I'm really glad that I can collaborate and spread knowledge to people, I haven't been able to make any coherent big commit to the project
 2017-03-23 10:00:46	josetonyp	but I can probably give my cent on explaining this payment labyrinth
 2017-03-23 10:01:23	gmacdougall	It should be interesting and I'm looking forward to it
 2017-03-23 10:01:34	gmacdougall	Outside of the conference itself is there anything you're planning to do in London?
 2017-03-23 10:01:44	josetonyp	beside this contributing motivation I think getting to know most of the people I'm reading code from is an awesome opportunity
 2017-03-23 10:02:11	josetonyp	Well, I'm not sure, I have to be back in Berlin on Friday afternoon
 2017-03-23 10:03:01	josetonyp	… so far I've only plan from the conference
 2017-03-23 10:03:12	josetonyp	also I have a 5month baby
 2017-03-23 10:03:47	josetonyp	I need to come back and keep helping on that topic :slightly_smiling_face:
 2017-03-23 10:04:06	josetonyp	You can call it a "never ending pull request"
 2017-03-23 10:05:10	gmacdougall	I'm sure that keeps you very busy!
 2017-03-23 10:05:23	josetonyp	yes
 2017-03-23 10:05:32	josetonyp	also keep me smiling a lot
 2017-03-23 10:06:18	gmacdougall	Is there anything else you wanted to mention before we wrap up?
 2017-03-23 10:06:58	josetonyp	umm beside that I'm very glad for the opportunity and thanks you for letting me collaborate
 2017-03-23 10:07:19	josetonyp	I think I'm ok
 2017-03-23 10:07:25	gmacdougall	You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me today!
 2017-03-23 10:08:01	josetonyp	sure, its is a pleasure… thanks for a lot of code I've reused to keep with some crazy client requests
 2017-03-23 10:08:14	gmacdougall	You're welcome
