For anyone curious, github.com/BlakeWilliams/… I really wanted a tool that avoids the pitfalls of vibe coding and prompting without line level context. I can review the code, ask questions, and prompt changes. All while easily staging/ignoring anything inconsequential.

Hacking on a tool to bridge the gap between "agent finished iterating on a plan" and "committing+pushing my changes for review" It's basically `git add -p` with super powers, letting you prompt+polish as you go. Experimental and still lots of jank, but fun so far!

@whatisakatie High Performance MySQL like mentioned above is great, I reference it all the time. I just started reading amazon.com/Efficient-MySQ… too and so far it's been helpful a time or two (I've jumped around chapters though). Use the index use-the-index-luke.com goes pretty in depth too.

i'm at that stage in my SQL journey where I want to focus more on performance & fine-tuning my queries. do you have any good books or resources you read/liked about this topic?

do you work primarily in a terminal via SSH or a codespace? I made a tool that you may be interested in! it provides clipboard access and `open` support through ssh so it’s almost like working locally. github.com/blakewilliams/…

@IanCAnderson I feel like todays word threw a bit of a curveball in there that I didn't expect.

tl;dr this function can give you a simple, type-safe view layer in express using React.

I've been using TypeScript on a side project and I'm really loving how much type safety you can achieve with a bit of effort. I ended up migrating from hbs to JSX/React to get even more type-safety and wrote a post about it. blakewilliams.me/posts/type-saf…

Today is the final 2021 performance on the "Ruby's Got You Covered" tour. I'll be Zooming over to London for the show. See you there?

the issue is that the formatter turns the with parens version into the without parens (and breaks things). there's only one quick fix I can think of and that's to make all method calls add `()`, which seems not great. Imagine `foo().bar().baz() unless some_method_value().nil?()`

Hacking on a code formatter for Ruby and learned about this fun shadowing edge case: With explicit parens calls the method defined on the class, without returns nil.

@Randemonium 🤞Really makes me wish I was better at attending them. 😬

@blakeorwhatever Kevin gave an excellent talk about it awhile back at the Boston Ruby Group. Hopefully that will meet again one day!

My super WIP Ruby formatter just got to the point where it can format itself and the tests still run/pass! 🎉 github.com/BlakeWilliams/…

@Mongeyc Woah, 10x faster? I might have to give that a try. 👀

Added `set -g status-right '#(cd #{pane_current_path}; git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)’` to my `~/.tmux.conf` and got rid of RPROMPT to show the current git branch and it’s been great.

@kddeisz @penelope_zone will do! It’s a super interesting problem so I’d love to see how they tackled it.

@Randemonium @kddeisz Lots of trial and error, not production ready yet but I’m feeling pretty good about the underlying approach now in terms of consistency. Just needs more time invested in widening AST support, tightening up indentation rules, code cleanup, etc.

@blakeorwhatever @kddeisz How is this plugin coming along? Is it production ready?

@Randemonium thanks! I had no idea prettier worked with Ruby, that’s rad. I wonder if anyone is using it in production? 🤔

@blakeorwhatever Very cool! Have you seen this? github.com/prettier/plugi…

okay how the hell are people out here in ACNH with mansions, a million fossils, a museum, every outfit ever, bridges and everything else and I'm just chillen in my little house with this bed i found in a TREE

@joshuaclayton I brought mine in a few months back and they told me it would be about a week which means I didn’t get my keyboard fixed yet. 😬

Anyone recently have their Apple laptop keyboard serviced for sticky keys? What's the turnaround time nowadays? This is getting out of hand.
