@searls @noelrap @caleb_hearth @onghu @godfoca @kgrz @DPritchett @dcarral @GaryBunofsky @mdfrenchman @cabgfx @_baltazore @Faraaz98 @crisrenella Great article, Justin! One thing I noticed is that you mention you try to practice CQRS but then immediately reach for find_or_create_by. I'm curious if you have a nuanced opinion about when to break CQRS?

@mattwensing @smysore @usesummit A stock options vs RSUs calculator would be interesting in my current life. 🤓

It could likely be useful for founders considering incentive pay for employees too.

[Michael Herold @mherold]

@mattwensing @smysore @usesummit That said, I really like the new direction with these calculators!

[Michael Herold @mherold]

@mattwensing @smysore @usesummit I'm a numbers nerd so take this with 🧂 but seeing a percent chance that you run out of money would be more valuable than seeing "you need to save to X."

Confidence bands would be 👍👍.

Sorry to Game of Thrones but Denethor eating a tomato is still the most brutal scene in the whole medieval fantasy genre

@nateberkopec Did you work with Gusto? Because I enjoyed this post on their engineering blog about them doing just that. https://t.co/IyO2hEHaar

I released v0.5.0 of the KSUID Ruby gem today! The ActiveRecord integration should be much more stable now. Next release, it will split into its own gem. https://t.co/uvMWNP5sJZ

@SViccari @_bikeshed @christoomey Truly, I will miss your wholesome Pop Tart War. @joelquen better have you two back for updates on the Pop Tart situation!

Hey @mijustin, have you heard of the Spring '83 protocol by @robinsloan? I think you'll dig the idea and its harkening to the early Internet!

@dblockdotorg @_byroot Hash#deep_fetch is what naturally came to mind for me. But that's a little weird when also applied to Array.

.@lmillernpr bees are now fish in California and I felt you needed to know. I loved "Why Fish Don't Exist" and the story of the ontological windmill you tilt at.

They both seem like they would be helpful to you but RailsEventStore is definitely the smaller lift.

[Michael Herold @mherold]

.@christoomey on @_bikeshed 339, it sounds like you're talking about event sourcing when it comes to "turning the database inside out." Have you seen https://t.co/uh1FZlFhuh or https://t.co/o4Of2h9FJH?

[Michael Herold @mherold]

The former is a database meant for building an event sourcing system. The latter is something from @arkency for building an event sourcing system using ActiveRecord as the store.

[Michael Herold @mherold]

A new angle, @splitinfinities?

I just paired on @tuple with a colleague who is ~5k miles away and it was just as good as pairing with someone in my city. I'm so impressed right now!

@amrucker This speaks to me! It's amazing how a new environment forces you to grow and realize that you may have been *too* comfortable.
