Turns out my beef working with Solid Queue was Timeout.timeout not working, which broke workers when they timed out. Happens frequently with LLM calls.
Fortunately I like to design bugs out of systems, so I fixed Timeout with TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in Linux.

This is why you donβt see weird image issues on this site, because og.plus takes screenshots of pages on the website, tweaks it to look good with og;plus meta tags & CSS, takes a screenshot, and serves it up in just a few seconds.

Incorrectly sized Open Graph images commonly crop heads & logos in weird places.
In this video I debug @ycombinator's redesigned site with og.plus/tools to show how to identify & fix incorrectly sized images.
Sites that use og.plus don't have to deal with these problems because it automatically renders OG images to the exact size preferred by each social network. πͺ

If you want to see code examples that compliment this video, I've got a post up on @BeautifulRubyHQ. This is probably the best thing to share if you want to send to others.

My first end-to-end demo of og.plus! You can finally get a sense for how it will integrate into websites to generate an Open Graph image per page, and you can control it all with CSS, meta tags, and HTML cache headers.

I re-uploaded the video of my @sfrubyconf talk about Sitepress.cc, a Markdown file content management system that works with Rails.
Devs are discovering that files are a better way to manage content than databases, and AI agrees.

Back to free Phlex on Rails videos!
This one covers how endless methods and nested classes can keep variants of your components in the same place without blowing up your lines of code.

I missed @37signals fizzy-sass repo last week, so I cracked that open to get a closer look, discovered the "Queen Bee", and talk about how the debate on the word "Open Source" is kind of pointless. π¬
Hope you enjoy! π

For those who've watched past @BeautifulRubyHQ RTFSC episodes, I'm curious how you felt about this one? I ditched the 10-min time box and took my time.
I felt better about it. In past episodes I feel like I skipped tons of stuff or made over-simplifications.

Today's RTFSC I look at the surprise source-code drop by @37signals of Fizzy, their take on a Kan-Ban board that's a hosted SaaS.
Overall the source code is pretty good, but I did find a few security issues with their approach to magic links. π

I tested it in production and it works on my machine! π

Of course the BFD coupon for @BeautifulRubyHQ expired this morning because @stripe has two expiration dates: one for a coupon and another for a promo code π€¦π»
@rollbar caught it & itβs now fixed!
