I’ve started something new: Joy of Rails. It's my take on sharing what I love about building web apps with Ruby on Rails. As an early hint of what’s to come, I used Hotwire to drop a color scheme previewer into my latest article. Check it out. joyofrails.com/articles/custo…

@nateberkopec Ok, I see, though that sounds like a one-time cost vs using the standard page speed recommendation to use a "cookie-free" domain for static assets—otherwise, cookies are sent with every request unnecessarily for assets on my primary domain.

Serving your CSS/JS from a different subdomain (assets.mydomain...) than your document (www.mydomain...) is costing you 100+ milliseconds on your LCP for no good reason. Here's how to use DevTools to inspect and repro this, and why you need to use chrome://net-internals:

Usually running "rails app:update" creates a lot of conflicts in my ENV files. Exploring the @bullettrainco codebase, I found this line in each ENV initializer. As of now, I set my configs at the end of the file, instead of overriding defaults. Easier to upgrade & see changes

One thing I loved about DarkSky is to get an idea of what the weather is usually like in some location at a given time of year. What’s a good app for that these days?

What a game. Whatever happens in the second half, it has been awesome to see my hometown Washington Commanders good at football again. #Commanders #Lions

@rossta Cool visual. Really like the idea of augmenting the written word with sketching visual/interactive. Nice work.

@rossta I love mental models like "horizontal vs vertical processing"! It captures some nuances that eager vs lazy doesn't, such as being able to represent an infinite list with a normal enumerator (you can call find on it but not find_all)

@jnunemaker If I recall, the jump from 6 to 7 isn’t that painful—unless you’re trying to migrate asset compilation off Webpacker.

It's so easy to forget how nice we have it with modern ruby and rails. For example, Fireside asset compilation on deploys dropped from 300 seconds to 50 seconds when upgrading from Rails 5.2 to Rails 6.0. Can't wait to start getting free performance boosts from modern Ruby.

For years, the big advantage of Rails was you can pretty much replace an entire dev team with just one. But now, AI agents can replace (a significant chunk) of your marketing team. Rails + AI = Unfair advantage for SaaS startups.

Noah was brilliant and kind, a talented programmer, an even better person. He left an indelible mark on the Ruby community. I feel privileged to have met Noah and I will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to his family.

Noah Gibbs (@codefolio) has passed away. His big dream in life was to help build the Ruby community up. He wanted to be like the folks who worked to create the railroads during the industrial revolution. He thought Ruby was the best way to do (fill in the blank) and he wanted to share his knowledge as widely as possible. His kindness and generosity extended into every corner of his life. Noah's passing was sudden and very fast. He did not suffer. He is survived by his wife and children.

100% I say both “sequel” and “S-Q-L”. Context matters.

I use them constantly. I also prefer, as you did, a single line. Doing this is annoying to read: if (isLoading) { return ... } Ruby's postfix if, I think, is even cooler: return ... if is_loading return ... if is_error And its postfix unless! return unless is_loaded But having a specific statement would be even cooler, like Swift guard is_loaded else { return ... }

What are your thoughts on early returns? Haven't used them much in the past, but currently felt quite good about it. Yay or Nay?
