I'll be sharing the biggest lessons, workflows, and AI collaboration techniques once I finish setting up my Discord community. I think a lot of developers are still underestimating what's possible when you stop treating AI as a chatbot

I've learned an incredible amount from this experiment. So far, I've documented more than 200 development iterations, made 439 commits, and the game is already fully playable on TestFlight.

It’s amazing how easy it is these days to set up multiple Ruby on Rails applications with Kamal, all running on a single server - each using a different database setup (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3) on the same machine.

💡 Demo:

This should cover basics with Rails forms

[Erim Icel @icelerim]

Best decision I made was moving from https://t.co/pWKCjzDQpe to Cloudflare for my domains.

[Erim Icel @icelerim]

@ffaebi I am working on range slider stimulus controller, planning to finish in a few days for initial version
