In my experience, developers who think they can be experts in any language or framework are usually bulls in a china shop. There are subtleties and implications they just don't get because they think it's all the same. It's not.
I like how i'll unfollow someone on twitter for being an idiot and it'll still show them in my "for you" feed.
Was i not explicit enough in my unfollow?
@mhenrixon
I get that you may be utilizing some magic, but this being possible is nightmare fuel for my fat fingers. I would encourage separate creds for production & development.
Maybe you could have a dev bucket that prod bucket copies everything into on create. then just update DB dump

@jumpstartrails
One of the reasons i purchased jumpstart pro was that it wasn't overbuilt and didn't do anything overly clever. And after using it for several months It has nothing i've had to rip out for sucking.

Good - this is what it takes to succeed. You get called out on character faults and you either take ownership and act more intentionally, pretend they're wrong/dismiss, or become a drug addict.
@SalesIsAnArt
I'd highlight that this isn't a commodity, and while you can find a different price, it won't be the same solution. I know what my competition can and can't do, and mine is the best in the market for your specific problem. They're good at X, I'm focused on Y.
After working remote for the last 12 years, across orgs large and small, i feel like the one thing that is missing about working remote is the serendipitous insights and additional context that you can get in person from coworkers.
@shreyas
I think viewing people as babies/fully formed adults is a bit black & white thinking. The truth is emotional maturity is a spectrum. But talking more about the behaviors & attitudes to seek, foster & avoid is worthwhile.
I was never:
-a programmer until i needed to code a solution
-strong with SQL until i built ichimoku indicators in pure SQL
-game dev until i had a project that could only be built with unity
-browser ext dev until I wanted a better app experience
My best advice? have problems
Had to unexpectedly say goodbye to my sweet little gargoyle Melo tonight. We only had a few years together, but I made sure her last were filled with purrs. What a silly, strange, and wonderful creature I will surely miss.
@NathanSRobinson
Every time I post on reddit, it gets removed.
It's not because i was rude, or self-promoting; but because of some arbitrary subreddit rule.
Ex: i couldn't post my brothers "battlestation" setup, because it had to be MY battlestation. 🤡

Assuming you mean Rails and not Ruby in the abstract...
Tell them that may have been true in 2017, but in 2024 times are different Rails is among the most strategic choices for engineers because it's the only one focused on developer productivity. No other framework enables a
I wish someone had told me this sooner. Sharing in case it inspires a fellow picky eater trying to eat healthy.
Meat, Cheese, Carbs.
For a long time this was basically my diet.
But as I tried to eat healthier, i noticed it was hard to incorporate healthier foods. Everywhere I
Just because you're "woke", doesn't mean you have character.
Treating people you don't like with patience and kindness does.
(yes, even when they're wrong)
The more logos i design, the less time I want to spend designing them. This isn't out of hatred for logo design, but reflects the simplicity a good logo can have. Learning when to stop has been hard won.
@mhenrixon
Welcome to Ruby on Rails! I did Unity with C# and the language definitely has its niceties; but it still doesn't compare to the kind of expression that is possible with ruby.
@RickMKobayashi
Sometimes the events of the past that hold us back are long since forgotten, but their effects still linger in us. Not all dots can be connected as part of healing, but we must still heal forward regardless.
@pb_steele
Before TS, development can feel like driving on the open highway.
After adding it to a project, it's like installing traffic lights every 200 feet.
You know... for safety.
The fastest way to grow your mailing list is using autocomplete in excel.
because there is no difference between accounts that won't buy from you and accounts that don't exist.
Don't try to just get anyone to give you their email, make sure they are warmer than dead.
@0xglitchbyte
I took a C++ class in HS and couldn't even make it to 2 months. I thought I could never be a programmer and that i'm just not smart enough.
But when I later discovered ruby, it was love at first sight.
Programming is different for everyone, find what works for you.
Controversial take:
I like some anime. I cringe super hard at other anime.
Honestly some of the best story telling is done in anime - but you have to be willing to walk away.
too many favs to name, but here's what has stuck with me:
Dragon Ball (first series)
Psycho-Pass
The more I think about it, the clearer it is that Reddit aka "the frontpage of the internet" has devolved into primarily a highlight reel of how awful people are.
There are 4 things I would tell any aspiring women looking to become a software engineer:
1) You are * enough (good, smart, talented, etc.)
2) Software is more writing than math
3) Assert yourself with no remorse or apologies
4) Be patient, restless and relentless
