Late into the night before #BrightonRuby, some of us discussed DHH and his leadership of #Rails. @ufuk did a fantastic job moderating the conversation and highlighted that the Rails team is more than one person.
At the conference, there was plenty of food for thought. Something from @nickschwaderer’s talk stuck with me. It was the idea of “no dunking”.
I will now raise the likes of @eileencodes instead of putting others done.
Anyone know how to run an arbitrary command at the start of the #RubyOnRails asset pipeline process? I want to hook in to build an included javascript file on the fly, but my search-fu is completely failing me...
#RubyOnRails / #Django / #PhoenixWeb geeks: do any of you have any pointers for making an interpreted language webapp be able to update itself like a native app?
Has anyone made a library for handling this smoothly (in any lang)?
Serious #mastodon question --> I saw my first -1 followers (in a user profile today.) I have 455 followers. How does a user achieve -1 in follower count? #fediverse#dev#ruby#rubyonrails
"Quick" Question: If you would build a new #web#application, what would currently be "the best" development language and/or #framework (#webframework) for that?
"Best" as in reliable, #secure, easy to get personal and future proof?
In this episode I get the Basic Authentication NGINX configuration working using the envsubst tool to replace environment variables in the config file.
Question you want answered in a future video? Pair on a problem? Constructive feedback? DM me or email ask@saturdaymp.com.
Just posting again that I am still available for #freelance or full time employment. I’ve been doing #iOS development for 15 years, including at #Apple and am comfortable working on a team or doing entire apps.
I also know #RubyOnRails and have gotten quite good at it, which means I can work on backend and mobile together or separately if that’s what you need.
To be honest, I’m a real get. Someone should hire me.
Just learned that Exceptional Creatures was #1 on Hacker News last night. I love all the comments like “that’s so Ruby” and “I miss Ruby” and “this is why I love the Ruby community!” 🥹
Rail's new ActiveRecord::Promise looks exciting, but one feature I wish it'd have is the ability to serialise the promise such that a future request can then later poll for it's value: essentially, grab this information if you can, but otherwise defer it to not block page load.
Great to see more people catching on to ClickHouseDB. We’re using ClickHouse at @honeybadger to power our upcoming logging/observability tool (Honeybadger Insights).
We’re also benchmarking a replacement backend for #Elasticsearch. Looks like quite a performance gain so far!
Will hopefully have more to share soon, but in the meantime we discussed this on the latest episode of @FounderQuest. Give it a listen:
There's a story of developer (me) having a no good very bad morning because of this loaded gun that Rails leaves on the table.
Just imagine you're fixing some production data and you accidentally type User.update instead of user.update and realise you just updated not one, but every single record in the database with the same value.
Also, thank goodness for PostgreSQL point-in-time database restoration 😓
(I updated a field excluded from audit logs, of course)
