Working on

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

I’ve started something new: Joy of Rails. It's my take on sharing what I love about building web apps with Ruby on Rails.

As an early hint of what’s to come, I used Hotwire to drop a color scheme previewer into my latest article. Check it out.

@adrianthedev @rosapolis @railsworld @friendlyrb @euruko Nice job! I can’t make it to the conferences but perhaps I can do a virtual run on the event days.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

@nateberkopec Ok, I see, though that sounds like a one-time cost vs using the standard page speed recommendation to use a "cookie-free" domain for static assets—otherwise, cookies are sent with every request unnecessarily for assets on my primary domain.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

@yarotheslav @bullettrainco This is what I do too! Can confirm it leads to fewer conflicts.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

One thing I loved about DarkSky is to get an idea of what the weather is usually like in some location at a given time of year. What’s a good app for that these days?

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

@MatthewBerryTMR Never a doubt!

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

What a game.

Whatever happens in the second half, it has been awesome to see my hometown Washington Commanders good at football again.

@kaseyklimes Heisenbug!

In case you missed it, here’s my recent article where you get to play with an interactive demo to visualize how Ruby’s Enumerator::Lazy helps avoid unnecessary work

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

I made a thing to help you visualize how Ruby’s Lazy Enumerator works, so your code can do less work.

@steve_ike_ Thank you! It was a fun project

@joelquen Glad to hear it 💜

[Nick Pezza @pezza_n]

Welp the day has come that the company I worked for got sunset so I am on the hunt for a new job. If anyone happens to know of any great Rails shops(that use turbo 🤞) feel free to reach out! DMs are open. RTs for reach appreciated.

@jnunemaker If I recall, the jump from 6 to 7 isn’t that painful—unless you’re trying to migrate asset compilation off Webpacker.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

@chalmagean What roles of the marketing team does would you say AI can replace?

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

@dvassallo What do attribute to the jump in 2020? COVID? Hard work? Good timing?

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

A few seasons in and my main observation is pretty much everyone in The Sopranos is a horrible person.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

To give you an idea of how quick I am to adopt new tech tools, I have started watching The Sopranos

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

Noah was brilliant and kind, a talented programmer, an even better person. He left an indelible mark on the Ruby community. I feel privileged to have met Noah and I will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to his family.

[Nate Berkopec @nateberkopec]

Noah Gibbs (@codefolio) has passed away.

His big dream in life was to help build the Ruby community up. He wanted to be like the folks who worked to create the railroads during the industrial revolution. He thought Ruby was the best way to do (fill in the blank) and he wanted to share his knowledge as widely as possible. His kindness and generosity extended into every corner of his life.

Noah's passing was sudden and very fast. He did not suffer. He is survived by his wife and children.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

All Hans really wanted was to be sitting on a beach, earning 20%

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

100% I say both “sequel” and “S-Q-L”. Context matters.

[Ross Kaffenberger @rossta]

@jamonholmgren @schlimmson +1 to Ruby is cool
