It's great to see the Rails team embracing Docker. This makes it so much easier to get started for new developers and those wanting to give Ruby on Rails a try.

It's getting to the point that most games of this size are released in some version of early access and "finished" around a year later. It hasn't made sense to play games on day one for a while, but now it's year one.

A simple sign that a web app isn't using URLs effectively: Tickets can't merely specify a URL.
Instead, they have to say
🚫 "Click on this tab"
🚫 "Open this toolbar"
🚫 "Expand this accordion"
🚫 "Scroll down to this section"
These things should typically be specified in the URL.
This assures that when a user shares or bookmarks a URL, everyone sees the same thing later.
