Robert Rawlins

Launch day! I’ve got to say, I really enjoyed working with @intercom on our new messenger app. Big thanks to @erskingardner, @xaqread and the rest of the community for your help. #content" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sorryapp.com/product/notifi…

Working in tech as of late:

@jamesm @kyee Yep, the "ticket" they give you is a basically an invoice - just ignore it, they will rotate through a bunch of legal firms sending you threatening letters, but then give up. It's one of those industries I can't believe is allowed to exist unregulated in this day and age.

@kyee Did I fuck 😂 ignored every letter and they gave up.

@kellyjandrews I see your 362, and I raise you 👋😂

Any one else not an "Inbox Zero" type, but instead an "Inbox:362" and the only way you know you have new mail is the number is >362

@danoTheDuckDuo Awesome. That's great to hear. 👍

@SirRawlins Did the upgrade a few months ago and am really happy with the M1 in the air. Solid little work horse

Time to replace my Mac. I've been running a Macbook Pro for several generations, but the new 15" Air looks pretty great, any of you other devs using one?

@marcos_placona That was my plan, but the new Air has an M3 in it so a much closer call.

@SirRawlins If you can, get a pro at 14 inches. The M3 chip, the form factor and all that power will see you running your Mac for another few years.

@marcos_placona Isn't AWS just a wrapper around a dedicated server? 😝

Isn’t Vercel just a wrapper around AWS?

Due to a marketing mess up that has absolutely nothing to do with poor planning, the first 10 people to buy both cans of CocoaDocus get a FREE Easter Egg 👀🍫

@excid3 Perfect. That's very similar to my Heath-Robinson approach. Who knew inserting thousands of background jobs at once would be slow. 😅

@SirRawlins We now insert all the event and recipients then queue up a job to process the event which queuesup jobs for each recipient. Works pretty well and is as fast as an insert all. Also removes duplication of the params which is nice.

Noticed v2.0 is released. 🎉 * Notifications are now Notifiers * Bulk deliveries are now supported * New models introduced for faster delivery to 1k+ recipients * New delivery methods like Discord and Webhooks * Simpler configuration Noticed v2 takes advantage of Single Table Inheritance on models to provide a really clean interface for defining notifications, how they're delivered, and rendering them in your UI now. We've split the Notifications model out into 2: Events and Notifications. Event stores the params and has_many :notifications. Notification keeps track of the Event's delivery to a recipient (and seen/read status). This allows us to insert_all to send a notification to thousands of users at once faster. Plus, we can enqueue the Event as a job for processing deliveries. Bulk deliveries will be run once for the Event. Individual deliveries will be run once for each recipient of the Event. This is handy for APIs that might send bulk emails or a Slack notification for your team that just needs to be sent once. Config blocks now help you define options in a much more organized fashion. Tons of other improvements that I'm excited about like notification_methods that I added this afternoon. Check it out and let me know what you think: github.com/excid3/noticed

@joncoupland All car mods.

Ok folks ... This could be fun 🤣

@HenryCesari 😅 this is a question I always ask people driving £50k worth of camper van.

Is it really worth $2k+ to not pitch a regular tent on the ground?

@robinince That's the oldest excuse in the book, Robin. Nobody is going to believe you just read Vogue for the backstories.

@TomBlackmore90 That would be perfect timing. I've currently got car coming to the end of its finance in December.

@SirRawlins I feel it’s ok value for money to be honest, especially once you claim the VAT back, you can’t buy much else brand new for the money these are, and it’s quirky and has personality I have a yellow one coming in the next 4-6 weeks if you want to discuss, brand new.

First weekend ‘away’ with the Jimny. Exactly what it was bought for (other than my work ‘van’), dog fits easily, roofbox gives us loads of space. Hopefully do some further afield in the future

@LUDENClassics First job is a trip to B&Q to buy a tin of paint stripper.

The 1981 DeLorean DMC 12, guided at £30k-£35k, sells for £27,000 plus fees

@kyee Dog ownership should 100% be on license. Mandatory registration, training classes etc

@GuyInFlight @richm247 Lovely looking Alpha, always been on my wish list. 😍

I haven’t had a mid life crisis for a while. However, I’m planning one at the moment (possibly my most ridiculous one yet), and therefore the TT will be for sale soon to partly fund it. Just as soon as I get around to doing a few little jobs it needs.

@joncoupland You don't need air-conditioning to be cool in a TT. 😎

Hooray for a chilly 8 degrees now in the TT Air Conditioning regas ✅
