This!!! I've never been able to articulate why I never picked up Rails until I read your comment.

The magic sure is magic! Anyone have an instruction manual to this magic?

Oh, just ALL of the Rails docs? Great! Sounds wonderful.

Well at least ruby has a type system to guid--

This happens to me often enough to make me question my sanity sometimes.

I know that ultimately, it ends up being a minor thing in the big scheme of things, but your sentiment is EXACTLY what drives me nuts.

I know that at least 20 people were involved in creating this -- are they all blind???

My coworker and I are going to start a movement:

Make all hold music this good! PLEASE!

Thank you very little! I will now be doing this every time I see it.

Follow-up post: is it normal to cry every time you see a login form? 😅

This finally made it click for me, thank you!

I will be using this near-daily now.

SQL became less awful for me when I embraced CTEs.

But you're right -- it's still SQL.

I've seen prql-lang.org but never tried it -- it seems like a nice change to the syntax at a glance.
PRQL
PRQL is a modern language for transforming data

Thank you for taking the time to write about your story and your life. From one human across the internet to another, I am sorry for what you went through.

You are a strong, thoughtful, kind person, and you deserved so much better.

Feel better! Hope you come out better on the other side.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. It sounds awful.

From one random person on the internet to another, you're SO appreciated. I think about you rather often, esp. whenever I consume Rust content or work with Rust.

I hope it gets better for you. 💖

Has anyone else tried a WSL 2 daily driver laptop and run into the above problems?

I'm curious to know if there's some configuration I need to change that would make this noticeably better. For now, my plan is to switch back to a Mac M-chip laptop for work travels.
April 20, 2025 at 5:10 PM
The above annoyances happened nearly any time I shut my laptop for a period longer than about 10 minutes.

It makes using WSL 2 as a daily driver on a laptop nearly impossible.

Sometimes after a WSL reboot, any terminals that attempted to run inside WSL would hang permanently.

Like, open Wezterm, and the shell never starts. Wezterm itself was fine.
