A year an half ago I had never written a line of Ruby code in my life.

Now today I run a tiny SaaS writen on Ruby on Rails

👇 Here is a list of resouces (Free and Paid) that helped me get here.

[Nate Hopkins @hopsoft]

Rails and Hotwire with the TurboBoost suite is a legit competitive advantage.

Hey all,

We are happy to provide a link to our free trial for anyone who would like an opportunity to try the tool before we open the beta and launch formally later this year! 🎲🐉

@remotejoeclark God does it ever….

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

Spun up a new rails app and deployed to @render in about 2 hours with no experience of ever working with Render.

Super impressed!

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@railsui_ Do it 😎

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@donnfelker What I've always done is look for work.

Bug or a feature.

To me, it's always been the best way to look around and explore.

It gives context to start asking informed questions, which typically leads to understanding both the code and domain.

@andrewculver @MrBeast Im guessing this wasn’t the “Giving away $1,000,000 to a stranger on the elevator!” Episode 😂

[AdventurePlane @AdventurePlane]

The AP team is beginning their weekend full of DND… What’s everyone’s weekend plans?! Ps… Check out our co-founder, @bchristman30 & his character in the last slide! #dnd #ttrpg

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@jebraat Thanks!

Gotcha familiar with it but never used it, clearly based on my lack of awareness to the short version lol

[Donn Felker @donnfelker]

You know you've reached a new level of success when you have to pause your upgrade path because of too much demand. #openai #ChatGPT

[Chris Oliver @excid3]

🔥 Hotwire protip:

Inserting something into the page with a Turbo Stream and want to make sure the user sees it?

A one-line custom Turbo Stream action's got you covered, with animation!

You can also control alignment with some other options: https://t.co/T9S7g0cGhi

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@joemasilotti That’s tough.

I would imagine leaning into AI would eventually turn into devs “gaming the system” so that the AI or algorithm for suggestion recommendations them more often.

People might start stuffing every buzzword in their profiles just for exposure.

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@Ben_Shimko laughing at nothing more than each others presence 😂

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@nathanbarry The Vig in north Scottsdale was my wife and my go to spot when we lived in Scottsdale for a few months.

Great food, drinks and view

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@stefanmeyer 👋🏻 building a ttrpg campaign management tool!

We started playing dungeons and dragons but many of our users are playing on other systems too

@AdventurePlane

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@andrewculver I wrote a tweet a week or two ago, which basically said I go to chat gpt first before Google now. 🤖

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@brandonklotz 🙋🏻‍♂️ building a brand new drag and drop, lazy loaded nested menu (think of the notion side bar)

Building it with stimulus and turbo streams is tricky but it hoping by end of week I can share the code I used to implement it!

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@remotejoeclark Really!?

Not judging, my “theme.scss” has 95% of my styles in one huge file.

It goes against everything I was told “not to do”… and literally nothing bad has happened. It’s actually really easy to find what I’m looking for 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

@Chad_R_Stewart @AdventurePlane @TechIsHiring I’ve already found someone so it may not make sense 👍🏻

[Brandon Christman @bchristman30]

Hey everyone!
