Building email systems at scale

[Jean Boussier @_byroot]

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted.

What a sound. The new album tracks are fantastic, but the "Panic Attack" performance is on another level 🔥

Inheriting a system with architectural decisions you didn't make is hard.
But rewriting it from scratch is usually riskier and more likely to make things worse.

I was reviewing a proposal for an application rewrite and was reminded of this timeless blog post by Joel Spolsky, "Things You Should Never Do".

Highly recommended reading:

If you're learning how to bring AI into your workflow without losing the fun of building, this might resonate.

[Dalibor Nasevic @dnasevic]

I still write code in Vim. I still get excited when I build something that works.
Lately, AI has become an essential part of how I get there.
A short thread on adapting to AI without losing what I love about building things 🧵

[Dalibor Nasevic @dnasevic]

Some takeaways:
- Cognitive debt is real if you stop understanding what you're building
- AI can spark ideas, but you still need to make the right decisions
- Programming is a marathon. Strategy and curiosity matter more than ever

The big new feature coming in Turbo 8 is morphing. We've put together an example app showing exactly the value it brings over using Turbo Streams, and just how simple it is to create a high-fidelity UI with no custom JS or Turbo hooks at all. https://t.co/oSfd0XUR52

Nerd BFCM stats:

Shopify’s egress processed 145 billion requests on Friday. App servers handled peak of ~60 million requests per minute. Increase of 38%. Total GMV was $4.1b, up by 22% from last year.

But Rails doesn't scale so what are we even doing 🤷‍♂️

Good post on using Sidekiq Scheduler from GoDaddy.

It's what I ended up using for my little startup challenge too and it worked well.

If you need a standalone Ruby scheduler, look up Rufus.
