For Rails devs working with test fixtures, do you have any rules for yourself for when (if ever) you create one-off records within a test, instead of creating new fixtures?

If you haven't taken a look at the Dashboards tab in your Honeybadger project yet, now is a great time to do it. Our new project overview dashboard combined with Insights automatic instrumentation makes it super simple to see your app's health at a glance.
Traditional APM tools bury you in dashboards you'll never use. Meanwhile, the things you actually care about require complex custom instrumentation. That's why we built smart dashboards that adapt to your stack. 🧵 👇

I had a blast at @rmrubyconf.bsky.social and @xoruby.com last week. It was great to see old Ruby friends and make some new ones.
Also, I'm pretty sure that was the first time I've attended two conferences in the same week. :)
