    Interesting to see Rails simultaneously embracing React with the Webpacker gem while also trying to offer a better solution in Turbolinks + Stimulus. DHH's complaints here about Re…

    I may be mistaken, but I think the meat of this will be in post 2? It sounds like your taking React's render() and replacing it with ERB. But, how are you giving the ERB file acces…

    I believe the 3% could still be shouldered by the business, if I'm swiping with them. Venmo would just be sitting in the middle of the transaction so they can prompt me to charge m…

    Poll: Would you use a hosted authentication solution like Auth0?

    On one hand, many frameworks either have authentication bundled in (Django) or it's relatively easy to add (Rails & Devise). It's also scary to think that the service might disappe…

    To me, the Kapor's are effectively claiming Uber has breached their trust. They also indicate they have been a "team player" during prior incidents: "As early investors in Uber, st…
