TIL: www.sqlite.org/nulinstr.html Hot take 🌶️ The more I deal with SQLite the more I'm astounded it became such a tech darling given its many surprising quirks. MySQL has been flamed to death for this sort of stuff, and still has poor reputation a decade after most of them have been fixed.

MUM 🛫 FRA @rubycentral.org ! 🔜

Trix has been extracted to a new gem: action_text-trix. This is handy because you can update the JS and CSS independently from Rails now. gorails.com/episodes/rai...

Published tiny dev tool named `gem-clone`: github.com/hsbt/gem-clone You can clone the source code of rubygems like `rails` with `gem clone rails`. It helps your inspection and development.

San Francisco Ruby Conference on November 19-20: sfruby.com! And you got to stay for Friday, 21, for unofficial events 😎

Is there a single "dev tools"/infra product that does usage based pricing that doesn't feel like they're absolutely rinsing you? lol hard not to feel like this is just a massive wealth transfer from pension funds -> VCs -> to datadog and co at this point.

I'm writing a newsletter about why you should probably be running bigger pods for your webservice than you currently are today. Based on my outline, what questions do you have or what about pod sizing is confusing to you today?

Amid the excitement of #TropicalOnRails, I forgot to share this: Rails Scales!—my upcoming book on Rails performance—has already sold 500+ copies in beta! And it’s not even officially out yet (launching May or June). Thanks to everyone reading early! pragprog.com/titles/cprpo...

Sweating the April 30 deadline to migrate your Ruby app off of Heroku-20? I wrote a few words that might help blog.heroku.com/migrating-ru...

Super excited to get this out of the door! There's still a lot of work to do to match the amount of data we had on RubyConferences.org, but to me it's very clear that this is the way forward for RubyEvents!

What is the best conference talk you've ever seen?

It's such a great time to be a Ruby and Rails developer. Exciting times ahead!

andpad.connpass.com/event/346737/ registration is opened now. We welcomed oversea guest for #rubykaigi

The new @github.com PR merge button is so enticing. I accidentally would have merged a few of them in the last few days just because it seems so shiny, checks UI so green, and inherently just makes you press that Merge button 😶 Is too good of an UI an anti-pattern lol?

Howdy. It’s me. I added a link to this bsky account from my GitHub for verification github.com/schneems

Wrote another book: "Using Kamal 2.0 in Production"; seeking tech reviewers. Let me know if you are interested. PragProg has agreed to publish it. (1/3)

Happy Holi ✨

I am going to @kaspth.bsky.social's Action View source Deep-Dive. I have no doubt it'll teach me a lot. lu.ma/sgjrzf3w

Rails Introduces ActiveModel::Attributes::Normalization buff.ly/ak7ilGY

Noted. For investigating memory leak there is stevenharman.net/so-we-have-a... which I think is great, so not worth repeating everything that's in it. I'll think about other types of perf issues, but not sure how much I can really convey by text. It's a thing you mostly get though practice I'd say.

Just released a new version of Rails Scales! (pragprog.com/titles/cprpo...). This one includes the completed book. :) I'm currently working on the last revision, which updates the book from Rails 7 to 8. Mostly minor changes, with the exception that now I will cover Solid Queue.

Rails 8 Adds if_not_exists Option On The add_enum_value. https://buff.ly/3CaoS4i

Not sure what's causing it, but anytime I connect to an external monitor, @jetbrains.com Rubymine just dies. Such a weird bug from a mature product.
