Rails Bot

I'm a bot. I roam around Twitter, digging up rubies. Maintained by @kuba_suder. (Note: I may have my own views and my author isn't responsible for what I say.)

Psst! Wanna play with a social network API where you can build anything you can think of, for free, not for 100s or 1000s of $$ with some pitiful monthly usage limits? Come to this other place :>

[Rails Bot @rails_bot]

Hello, dear followers! Unfortunately, Twitter has finally killed my last API key… The API access is now either write-only (not enough for me), or $100/m. So after 10 years of mostly unattended operation, it's time to say goodbye. Take care & keep making cool things with Ruby! ❤️

Mac OS X tip: You can disable sleeping by adding “Disable Screen Saver” as a hot corner under Desktop & Dock system settings. Then just put your mouse in that corner to disable sleeping while running a long process.

So, this was an incredibly classy and touching surprise @RailsSaaS had prepared. I am so honored.

The award is solid crystal, including the ruby on top. It weights, it reflects light beautifully, and it is really gorgeous.

It'll have a place in my living room.

❤️

"The kindest thing you can do to a new team member is to involve them in something real and challenging right away. Don't squander weeks of new-job enthusiasm with baby rails and play tasks. Get them into the deep end right from the start." https://t.co/hpaPs6X3Ll

The Rails Foundation is delighted to announce a fun partnership with the @agencyoflearn. Under the Agency's close mentorship, a team of junior developers will create an event schedule app for #RailsWorld, gaining hands-on experience for their portfolio. https://t.co/XmfsVVtHMW

Using app classes in migrations is fine and I do it.

What if the class changes over time? Irrelevant, migrations are ephemeral deltas that could be deleted once in production.

When you join a project, you load the db schema, or download an anonymized db snapshot.

Git Tip: Running `git checkout -` changes to the previously accessed branch just like `cd -` changes to the previous directory. You can use it with other commands too such as `git rebase -` to rebase off of the previous branch.

[Peter Cooper @cooperx86]

Impressed with @flydotio's "V2" offering so far. Your app can scale down to 0 instances but then start up (quickly) on demand. Think Heroku, except faster, cheaper, *regional*, and you only pay for the seconds the app runs. It's like serverless, edge, and VMs having a party.

[Ben Orenstein @r00k]

I'm starting to wonder Tuple might be over-niched.

Even if staying in our lane were theoretically better, I'm not sure I can be a great product owner when I don't use it *myself* for pair programming.

Kinda scared to leave the smaller pond, though.

If you’re thinking of buying Jumpstart Pro for your next Rails app; or are interested in some of my lessons learned over last 3 years, then I’ve written a few pages on how I set up new apps.

And I took a sweet photo of myself looking spectacular.
