Huh, would you look at that.
I learned a lot writing those two Solid Queue posts, and I'm stoked that people enjoyed them π€
We love organizing #wrocloverb each year, but our monthly Ruby meetup is the cherry on top!
Come by this Monday, Nov 17, for an evening of great talks from by @hschne, @pankowecki and @mostlyobvious.
Finally, what we've all been waiting for.
Francophiles, rejoice! π«π· π

TIL StimulusJS supports keyboard event filters out of the box. I was so close to writing a bunch of custom JS before thinking to myself "nah, there's got to be a better way" .
Of course, there was.
Already upgraded to Rails 8.1?
If you're getting some pesky deprecation warnings, here's a one-liner to find the gems responsible π΅οΈ
Rails 8.1 will have dark mode for error pages. No more getting blinded when your app throws an error π
@bensheldon Agreed, the more I learn about it the more I like it
TIL about Concurrent::Map compute_if_present. This method provides a simple interface to concurrently re-calculate a map value if it's key is present.
Found this in the Solid Cable Source π΅οΈ
TIL Minitest has a pride mode, so you can show your *fabulous* testing pride π
Apparently, this has been a thing for forever; I just came across this now, digging through command line options.
Catching up on Rails World talks π
Loved @realPawelS talk on MCP. Pretty motivated to add that to my next Rails app now π
I waste way too much time binging random crap on Youtube. If I need downtime, I might just as well watch something useful, right?
I think I found a hack to help with that.
Now I just redirect to RubyEvents and watch some talk π
In case you missed it, browserslist now supports baseline out of the box. No need for `browserslist-config-baseline` anymore π

Sometimes it's okay to be a bit lazy. Nobody can give 110% all of the time π€·
@citizen428 yeah I saw that on HN but haven't gotten to it yet. Now I'll definitely give it a read
I'm looking into Inertia and evaluating various frontend options.
Vue. Looks decent.
Svelte. Looks sick, I like it.
React. WTF, how is anyone without a PHD supposed to work on this? The merchants of complexity are at it again, I guess π€―
This takes me way back.
A couple of years ago I took a test suite from 24 min down to 8. The issues where much the same. Lots of redundant data setup, logging and lack of isolation.
The more things change the more they stay the same, I guess?

Strong Service is Strong. We need more gems like this that push the boundary of what's possible.
But I have to say, this much touted DSL looks suspiciously like plain old Ruby π΅οΈ
