SOS mode in Utah also.

As far as security is concerned, it's the application's responsibility to properly scope websocket connections... if and when that's appropriate. This is true of any websocket conn…

I recently Dockerized a Rails development environment for working on an M1. It’s gone well so far and may provide some guidance for other development workflows (YMMV). https://gist…

I think the much touted "NEW MAGIC" will be the thing that does the automatic content refresh.

This is exactly what CableReady was built for... to update the DOM from any Ruby process (in the request cycle or not). It was designed from the beginning to update the DOM from ou…

Just saw that this is on HN. Happy to answer any questions.

> the DOM was often used to store state. And this just isn't a very efficient approach. StimulusJS is a modern approach that uses the DOM to manage state. In my experience it has p…

Interesting point about grassroots vs top down. I think that definitely plays into the equation. Another big part of it is that developers seem to a unique class of workers that do…

Why? Genuinely curious.

Conway's Law & micro-services help maintain flatter organizations at least in tech focused companies. When disagreements arise & consensus is hard, the various parties can simply i…

I do like the access-granted DSL. It seems to address some of CanCan's problems on larger more complex projects. Also... if you prefer a more OO style, I wrote a 50 line authorizat…

Here's a very similar tool in Ruby. https://github.com/hopsoft/goldmine

I built a small testing framework with a pry workflow as one of it's goals. It's possible to run the tests in pry mode which drops you into a pry session on test failure. I've used…

Removing the ability to run code on gem install would be quite disruptive. I think that establishing a universal gem signing policy and/or some form of whitelist/blacklist strategy…
