In a shameless quest for attention, I put pizzaforukraine.com on Product Hunt. It kind of is a product and I am a maker .. Not sure if this is allowed but …

If you haven't said a silent prayer of thanks to your appropriate deity for the goodness that is Mastodon, the clown show at Twitter should inspire you to do so:

When you're really, really pessimistic and haven't had coffee yet, you write commit messages like this:
git commit -m "Actual adding of gemfiles in a way that might, perhaps, maybe, but possibly not work (oh and dynamic color changing)"

If you work in high tech and your spouse has never understood your passion and you just can't get them to understand, I strongly recommend you make the listen to the Graphing Calculator Story: corecursive.com/shipping-gra… #software

3 years into the pandemic plus 6 before that working remote and I can't help think about how power imbalance can still screw up teams badly. I've worked with more than one person-in-power who literally could not be reliably communicated with (1/2)

asynchronously.
I get the email, Slack, etc notifications can be stressful or feel overwhelming. But they are inherently manageable in many cases. Rank and file have to learn how to do this. Managers do not.

Here's a thought -- given that every rails database tends to be named:
THING_development
THING_test
THING_production
Why do we define these separately on 3 different lines in database.yml? Why don't we define a database prefix? Isn't that drier? #rails

My good friend Nick Janetakis wrote up an awesome guide to Docker and Rails:

Ah the bittersweet feeling of a project rolling to its end and you're noticing that your github permissions are being revoked bit by bit. *sniff*.

From this week in startups on 12/15, I found eatkind.co which purports to “veganize” recipes. I tried four recipes (below). And the result was disappointing at best. youtube.com/watch?v=Vx1LYgJT…

And, honestly, I can’t believe that @jason devoted 35 minutes of This Week in Startups air time to a product that works this poorly. Yes her experience was interesting and I learned some things about Indian startup world but did anyone at Twist try the product?

I've actually never used enums in Rails and Postgres before. I was terribly disappointed today to learn that:
enum outcome: { pending: 0, correct: 1, incorrect: 2 }
generates an exception on save instead of a normal ActiveRecord error. What's the point then?

To check if you have rustc installed before you install Ruby 3.2:
rustc --version
You need >= 1.58
To install rustc on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install rustc

"I’m just blown away at how much faster 3.2.0 with YJIT is compared to 3.2.0 without it! This is very visible in longer running benchmarks, like with optimizing f.pdf where the difference is a whopping 25%!" Thank you Ruby team! Best present ever. (1/2)
