@dvassallo If you eat 2.5lb of chicken breast then you've gained 2.5lb of muscle. Easy!

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

@bradgessler Thanks for the recommendation! In your experience, how does it compare to Jekyll for standalone sites?

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

@dvassallo "Doing X" and "teaching how to do X" are two different skills. Another case in point, there are accomplished mathematicians who are bad teachers.

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

@cperciva @BSDCan Yes, definitely!

@strzibnyj I also had to deal with sign up spam for my side project. I wrote about the whole problem and how I solved it: maybe you'll find that helpful too: https://t.co/IWg1stRJys

After 12 years of working from home, I rented an office room: 25 square meters, 5 minutes to get there by bike, 2 Gbps fiber for 30 USD / month, and plenty of small businesses around me.

It's an experiment, and I'm going to report back on its results in a few months.

These were the major changes, but there's much more, so feel free to have a look at the changelog:

🆕 Rails 8.1 is out today!

It ships with a few improvements that I really like, so I'm excited to update my apps to the latest version.

Let's have a look at each major change briefly 👇

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

Kamal Improvements. I don't use Kamal, but 8.1 makes it easy to load secrets from encrypted credential files and it supports registry-free deployments.

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

@hackteck That's huge success, Erik! Congrats to the entire team.

@GregMolnar 256 😄

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

@GregMolnar Thanks! Luckily, I was wearing a good helmet. Still, two/three days in bed due to the concussion followed by 5 days of knee pain. It feels I've got I lot of catch up to do.

I can't wait to be on my bike again, though 😅

[Greg Navis @gregnavis]

I had a bike accident on Friday and spent the weekend with a concussion. I'm better now, so I'd like to announce ...

@OlumideOlubose3 Great you're learning bottom-up. It's important to understand what's going on under the hood, so that Rails doesn't feel like magic.
