I didn't know that you can pass as offset to `with_index` in Ruby, instead of keep writing `index + 1` all over the place 😂

Huge news: Whop is the new Ruby on Rails Unicorn, valued at $1.6B, and we at Evil Martians are proud to have been supporting their scaling needs, jumping in when needed.
Steven Schwartz 🦅@cultured

We are excited to announce that @tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $200M into Whop, valuing us at $1.6B. Our partnership with Tether marks a major step in building the world's largest internet market. Tether is committed to enabling everyone in the world to participate in the new internet economy. The way humans work and create value is changing fast. The world needs both an open internet market giving people a platform to conduct business, as well as a transparent payments network. Tether and Whop together will work to bring a sustainable income to billions of people throughout the world. There is enormous opportunity when you combine Tether’s global scale and wallet technology with Whop’s community of next generation entrepreneurs. My co-founders and I met as teenagers on the internet selling software. We first launched Whop as a way for us to sell our own software to people in Facebook and Discord forums. Prior to Whop, the place we found customers was different from the place we collected payments, different from the place we talked to customers, and there wasn’t a central place to “do business” on the internet. In partnership with Tether, we will be scaling infrastructure in real-time for new business models as they emerge across the globe. The job is just getting started. 🚀

@mhenrixon "I forced myself to only play games that could be finished." This is me because I can't put it down if I find it interesting and that will affect my work life. I just stick to something that can be finished and only play during long holidays.

I never got into the game. It looked way to interesting to me so I decided to never try it. I forced myself to only play games that could be finished. Now I don’t play at all, I simply don’t have enough hours to waste on gaming. Life is simply too good and I already spend too much time on a screen.

The last "modern" game I ever played was World of Warcraft, from 2004 to 2010, the end of Wrath of the Lich King. I know there were MMORPGs before (and after), but when the original World of Warcraft launched in 2004, it felt closer to "perfection" than any game before or since. Nothing has changed that feeling to this day. What changed was the game itself after the death of Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King. The original WoW felt so vast, so open, and so alive - it’s hard to put into words. There was no min-maxing yet, no speedruns, no parsing records, no gear score requirements. If you were really "pro," you connected with friends or guildies via Ventrilo. There was no WeakAuras, no threat meters, no Questie guiding you. You quickly learned that even the most expensive vendor gear was trash compared to quest rewards. You had to walk from Elwynn Forest to the Redridge Mountains - and if you dared peek across the river into Duskwood, the spiders there would one-shot you (I’m sure we all did that). The first time you equipped a green item! The first time you swapped it for a blue! And the envy of seeing someone with purple gear, omg! Saving up for a mount and the catharsis when you could finally afford one! The first time you entered the Deadmines, the foolish solo attempt on Hogger only to realize instantly it was a death sentence, stepping into Alterac Valley battlegrounds and being in awe of its size, wiping on Ragnaros again and again before finally killing him, and the sheer joy of celebrating together with your guild. The excitement and awe of entering Naxxramas for the first time, struggling to down Patchwerk, the teamwork, the slow progress, seeing Sapphiron dead on the frozen ground and being moments away from Kel’Thuzad… so close! It truly felt like a massive world - not just in size, but in stories. The announcement of The Burning Crusade and the Dark Portal appearing in the Blasted Lands; you couldn’t wait to walk through it. Then the ultimate climax when Wrath of the Lich King launched, eventually facing the most badass character in gaming history: Arthas. World of Warcraft was magic. Until it wasn’t. Just like Blizzard was once the greatest game studio of all - until they weren’t. Warcraft used to be tough, glorious and epic... now it's pink Disney fluff. Nothing has recaptured that feeling from 2004 to 2010. I wonder if anything ever will again. I sometimes watch the trailer of the original WoW. It still hits close to the (gamer) heart…

I just completed working on my first AI powered Rails app this week. Obviously I am writing a blog so it's easier for others to do the same without going through too many hoops. Targeted especially for beginner Rails devs in AI space.

I didn't know that safe_join allows a tag as a divider. Here I add a small pipe to divide the text in this summary.

@seuros That's absolutely in the plan as well. But it will also include a lot of production grade examples and tips. Planning to start from general knowledge and to coding specifics in later chapters. I will have chapters locked in a week or two and will reach out again for feedback.

Please NO. What we need to teach is why are we testing, when to test and when to avoid. Minitest is just Ruby.. You dont have to teach anything more than the basic syntax, maybe speak about the plugins. i saw horrible tests like ``` assert_equal Rails.class, Module assert "someharcoded_string" ``` When asked , the devs had no idea... but well the tests are green.

👋 Rails Devs I am starting a new thing soon and it's about testing in Rails. I want to make testing with Minitest as accessible as RSpec. Any special topics you want me to cover? minitestrails.com

@ferminmata_ I haven't built components with total isolation. But in one of the projects we do have isolated components built by another team and only then integration to the actual app which is done much later. We are using the View Component and Lookbook for this. Works well.

What's your workflow for building components in total isolation (no app/layout context)? Pure structure + styling, standalone preview, then later integrating, adding block-level positioning. I heard of Lookbook & storybook_rails. Curious to know tips, tools, or other setups 🫡

@seuros Yeah. Actually what I meant as accessible was that guides and tips for rspec are easily available but the same can't be said for minitest. There are too few resources available on the internet for the minitest.

@coolprobn Minitest is more accessible than RSpec. RSpec is lazy... not more accessible. There is Maxitest that add some goodies on top... then a plethora of plugin gems that you can add when you need.
