"It's surprising to me that there isn't more pressure yet to cut costs at companies paying such princely sums for their SaaS software. But I think it's coming. Someone is going to look at those margins and see an opportunity." world.hey.com/dhh/it-s-not-j…

A startup is like a long hallway with countless doors where success hinges on opening the right doors within a given amount of time. You must either work really hard and open lots of doors (hustle), or be really good at discerning which doors to leave closed (focus), or both.

After 6 years investing at seed & pre-seed the single biggest determinant of success in finding product-market-fit is speed of execution.
Why?
Most important element of finding PMF; having enough "at bats"/attempts as possible pre-next raise. Faster you are, more you have.

"[GitHub] is nearly two million lines of code and more than 1,000 engineers collaborate on it daily. We deploy as often as 20 times a day, and nearly every week one of those deploys is a Rails upgrade." 🚀❤️ github.blog/2023-04-06-bui…

@stevenharman @haacked Yet another instance where AI is coming after our jobs

AI is coming for all our jobs. Except comedians. They’re safe for now.

Sr Rails devs describe Rails as being the easiest and most productive way to build web apps. Meanwhile @joemasilotti @excid3 & others discuss how we’re losing a generation of Jr Rails devs because its daunting.
Can both be true?
Here’s my story on how Rails is losing Jrs.

If you use React, you should be using a React framework. If your existing app doesn't use a framework, you should incrementally migrate to one. If you're creating a new React project, you should use a framework from the beginning.

@frankrietta something like this:
git checkout --theirs db/structure.sql ; RAILS_ENV=test rails db:drop db:create db:structure:load db:migrate db:structure:dump
English
@cyu In this case, another developer had made database changes in main. structure.sql had the merge conflict that had to be resolved.
English
In Rails dev when my branch gets a merge conflict with the main branch on the database schema, I find the fastest way to resolve is to switch back to the main branch, run database setup to reset to the main one, then switch back to my branch and run the migrations and commit.
English
@robbyrussell You say this, but also note also that active admin has sustained these clients for many years and helped their organization grow. I see it as a success that devs leverage AA so they can focus more on the parts that drive value.
English
Real Ruby on Rails friends don't let other Rails developers subject their end-users to Active Admin.

IMO, the days of a one-trick-pony single-skill programmer are over. To be truly effective, you need to know how to program/test, of course, but you also need product skills, & UI/UX skills, & communication/collaboration skills, &c. &c. Programming is becoming a generalist’s job.

I was fortunate to have worked with Oscar at Scoutmob. There was no one like him. A bright light always. Such a loss.
