New from me: I wrote about Application Performance Monitoring and why developers should embrace observability tools.

The APM paradox: Too much data, too few answers
Most dev teams don't need 47 dashboards or petabytes of logs—they need answers at 2 AM. Explore the evolution from APM to observability.

"Code generation tools which pretend to abstract out something, like all abstractions, leak, and the only way to deal with the leaks competently is to learn about how the abstractions work and what they are abstracting"

I feel that Rails controller actions should be directly responsible for rendering or redirecting. That is to say, you shouldn't render/redirect six method calls deep/buried in some concern.
I don't think this is a hot take, but this rule is broken so commonly I'm beginning to wonder.
Thoughts?

What a legend. Jim taught me this some years ago. Those good deeds often do come back around, but if that’s your motivation, it’s not genuine.
Do it because you love people and want them to succeed!

Genuinely desire success in those around you and do what you can to make it happen.

Howdy! Thought I'd write an intro, as I'm new here. Some of you know me, some of you don't (yet).
I'm a Rails dev consulting and SaaS building.
When I'm not coding, I love making music soundcloud.com/juliancheal, and cooking (mostly Mexican food)
I am also a trustee of a UK charity www.protect.earth

Hey everyone 👋 - it looks like intros are a thing here, so here it goes! I'm a long-time technologist (nerd) living in the Pacific NW. I'm building an intelligent test runner (selective.ci) in my spare time. During the day, I work at ClickFunnels as a principal software engineer. Let's be friends! 💚
