No internet and no phones is also a good was to increase productivity 🙂

Developers who remove lines of code are the ones who maintain a project's productivity. Those who frantically add lines of code sabotage it.

“If this test fails, would I care or just ignore it?”
“If this works, what does it prove?”
“If this fails, do I know why?”

If a test doesn’t help you think better, it’s noise.

Ensuring HTML is valid would be great! Inline partials sounds like a nice idea to speedup applications with a lot of small partials, but it comes with some nice pitfalls 😃

I just published a recap of my RailsConf 2025 talk on my blog!

Herb v0.4.0 is out, now with the Herb Linter, a Formatter preview, and deeper editor integration for HTML+ERB.

Plus: a look at ReActionView, my vision for the future of the Rails view layer.

Do yourself a favor and buy a programming book in addition to your AI subscription. One is consumption, the other is investment in yourself. You will get more skilled at the end.

Hate it or Love it! My main issue is that is adds all columns into users table instead of creating a specific models for sessions, email confirmations, password resets, etc. I strongly believe it's a modeling error.

PS: CPU/cost should be read as CPU benchmark / cost. It could have been misleading that I compare just the number of cores.

I don't have a preferred node size, but I pick the server with the best CPU/cost ratio. Servers have often too much RAM and not enough CPU. Currently it's 12 CPUs for 16GB on bare metal server. For another app it's a VPS with 40 vCPUs for 32GB.

Internet must remain decentralized. Cloudflare is the easy choice to protect your website, but it has a hidden cost. It controls which trafic goes to your website and can read it. This price is too high for me, and for you too.
