I thought you had heavy experience with Duct Taping

Yeah, depending on earlier results and building assocs without creating mess is tough. That's where we've struggled. There's no obvious solution, but a good next step would be to see how Oaken solves it right now, then layer abstractions where it makes sense. I'll put some time aside soon and play!

if I still blogged I would blog about this. instead, I will continue the infinite loop of redesigning my website every time I think about posting something

Also found ShelfPulse (iOS), which only launched a couple of days ago, and has very pretty listening stats 😎

We're working with a 14 year old Rails app, and our new seeders were built incrementally so we didn't have the foresight to look into alternatives or make any major plans. I think we could probably get quite far just with build-only factories + insert_all..

Nothing super broad (though if I could go back I'd definitely have built some better optimised scaffolding). Lots of nuanced optimisations here and there. FactoryBot goes wild on N+1 so a lot of our improvements were found in leveraging `insert_all` and doing manual building. It got.. messy 😀

Yep we have similar requirements. We have a staging API endpoint that our dev and QA teams use to trigger massive data creation before scenario testing. It’s great, just a lot of work!

Thanks so much for all your hard work on this over the years. 12 is plenty and I can’t wait to get stuck in.

I haven’t used it yet but it looks promising and @kaspth.com is very active on it (and I really like the design goals).

If I was building today I would probably first try using Oaken

FactoryBot but honestly I don’t love it. It gets messy quickly and performance is problematic if you don’t keep on top of it.

We have a Seeders namespace that creates millions of records of test data for dev bootstrapping. It works well but I’ve spent a lot of time optimising.

Yep thanks, I found that eventually too. It’s a bit rough around the edges but it’s working decently so far

Jellyfin is bad at Audiobooks. Audiobookshelf however is *excellent* and did an impressive job of importing my library. Their iOS app is beta only though, and full 😔

I'm installing Jellyfin wish me luck

I think most would be happy with this decision had it come prior to Ruby Central's misgivings — maybe something good can come of it

I have almost this exact same thing but with Almond milk, blueberries, honey and some sprinkled granola. It’s like a glorious morning desert
