@strzibnyj What if something goes wrong. Let’s say everything seemed to deploy OK, but the site becomes unreachable. Would you know how to troubleshoot, or how get things up and running manually?

@levelsio I have used Monit for lightweight server monitoring for 15 years. You can use M/Monit to get an overview of all your Monit instances on all your servers, but I never tried that myself https://t.co/wOLnq4vffa

@systemdesignone I’ve read 3 of those. That can’t be a coincidence so I’ll look into the others 👍

@datatub I have been maintaining an app that’s about this age. It has been ok to maintain, (subjectively) less of a mess compared to similar size apps in other languages/frameworks. Took me a couple of months to really get going though.

@levelsio Check out the Giroflex 64, it’s been my preferred chair for about 20 years. It’s a popular chair (at least in Europe) so you can also often find them in 2nd hand office furniture shops.

@turnedninja @basicBrogrammer @Shpigford True, there’s not much decent choice. But only the web dev people notice, the clients and users couldn’t care less, as long as it works and looks ok.

[Piet Hadermann @PHadermann]

@turnedninja @basicBrogrammer @Shpigford In what sense is Bootstrap not working anymore?

[Piet Hadermann @PHadermann]

@mikeveerman Well, I make sure my code is clear and well-documented. Everything that isn't code (infra, deployment, how to access the git etc) is documented in a wiki and kept up-to-date. It's a small risk for the client, but I'm sure if the bus factor would happen, it would work out.

@hamptonism Easy: don’t go to bed unless you’re tired

@pan_sarin @robbyrussell I’m also interested in how they handle Rails updates: when they plan them, if they learned anything they’d want to share, how long they take etc

[Piet Hadermann @PHadermann]

@lucianghinda OTOH, I find the quality of generated Ruby code to be considerably less compared to TS, probably because of the lack of training data. It’s not uncommon to see it generate 20 LoC for something that could be done in 3.

@IkBenBap Herkenbaar. Bij mij had de verkoper geen tijd maar ging terugbellen voor een afspraak. 1 week later zelf teruggebeld, maar was in meeting en ging zeker terugbellen. Uiteindelijk andere BMW garage binnen gestapt. Even gedacht om bij levering die verkoper een fotootje te sturen.

Looking forward to checking this one out. Especially appreciate the #NOBUILD. Thanks to all the contributors!

[DHH @dhh]

@FMisplon @Bennytouzine Voila, heb ik ook gedaan toen ik merkte dat onze eetlepels echt wel aan de kleine kant waren.

@PeterDeKeyzer Zo uitgesproken vind ik het verschil echt niet. Nog nooit zo lang moeten wachten aan de veiligheidscontrole of op m’n bagage als in Schiphol. Op de gereserveerde parking moet ik eigenlijk ook altijd langer zoeken naar een vrije plaats.

@Bennytouzine Look of samurai?

[Piet Hadermann @PHadermann]

@BartDeMeulenaer Yep, daarstraks dus aan den lijve ondervonden. We waren niet de enigen, we zagen wel meer ouders samen met hun kotstudent met pak en zak sleuren.

@petervanlimpt6 Honden en katten zijn duurder en moet je dan nog zelf slachten ook.
