I haven’t written or contributed to the Ruby community for almost a year, but I think it’s a good time to come back. #longliveruby

Jedno postanowienie noworoczne, które realnie może zmienić karierę programisty: 👉 zacznij pisać. Nie dla zasięgów. Nie dla pieniędzy. Dla jasności myślenia i rozwoju.

It's been quite a long time since my last article. Recently, I've been migrating one app to encrypted columns and learned some lessons along the way impactahead.com/dev/migrating-…

A short break from programming with NY vibes 🗽🇺🇸

It's time to start cooking again 👨‍🍳

@salihkuzucu Sometimes, I get an idea, and I think it is great, so I buy the proper domain. Sometimes, I build something without a name and don't buy the domain unless I want to release it. Usually, the second way is more productive 😅

@pdabrowski6 Wow you guys start by the domain name?

You are in the real focus mode when you stop buying new domains every month for new app ideas 😅

@sebwilgosz Hmm, probably a simple service where you can share the source code of the application and it’s accessible only when you have a token or invitation. Readable like GH repository but more flexible when it comes to providing access. I bet someone already did this

@pdabrowski6 I have a domain: sourcerio(dot)com - what would you make for this name?

Duration objects, duck typing, dynamic methods, and config style initialization - all demystified and explained impactahead.com/dev/magic-behi…

I think when you learn something, you do it either out of necessity or curiosity. When you do the latter, you are not bound by time limits or specific requirements, and you go much deeper. There is a high chance you will be much more efficient because of this the next time you learn something out of necessity. That's why I value the process of writing articles and books so much.

@hron84 @hron84 thank you for the suggestion, I will do that!

Dear @pdabrowski6 a small favor: could you please tweak your engine under Impact Ahead blog to not replace apostrophes in the code blocks to typographically correct 'apostrophes'? They could cause confusion if someone would like to copy-paste your codes to try it out.

If you want to deploy your #Rails application on a bare metal server but do not like how Kamal works, there is a good and more straightforward alternative. Have a look: impactahead.com/dev/dokku-depl…

@sebwilgosz Welcome @sebwilgosz ! 👋

@pdabrowski6 Joined the waitlist! Agree with this choice!

I decided to go with "High-Scalable" instead of "High-Performance" as speed is just one of the few ingredients for a perfect database design recipe. impactahead.com/books/high-sca…

Mark, one of my readers, mailed me a cool Rails console trick that allows you to check the method source without any additional gem 🚀 Thank you!

I’m back with the under the hood series, have a look 👀

I always get valuable feedback from Reddit users so I decided to introduce new element in article layout

@jakeonrails I’m glad you liked it! 🔥

@pdabrowski6 This was a great article with a few nuggets even this 20 year Rails user didn't know

I'm getting back in 2025 with a new article about Rails ✨
