Is this an intention, regarding the current ruby affairs…? ☺️ Anyways, I always wanted to learn Elixir and now I think it is *the* time.
Elixir will change the way you think about programming. Use your Ruby experience to quickly get up to speed so you can see what all of the buzz is about. Go from zero to production applications that are reliable, fast, and scalable.

I'm thrilled to announce that @baweaver.bsky.social and I have just kicked off work on a second edition of Eloquent Ruby, to be published by our friends at @pragprog.com.
The idea is to keep the basic structure of the book the same while updating it to Ruby as it is used today.

I just published a post about how we made Tailwind 4 detect CSS classes that are _not_ contained in the main application source files but in one of the gem it uses. It utilizes some tricks to make the gem paths accessible from the project in a stable and relative way.

1. Programming gives you the joy of hacking.
2. Testing raises confidence in its correctness.
3. Documenting helps users understand it all.
In the case of public software, like OSS, to me, a complete programmer commits to the three of them.

I enjoyed reading the Roadside Picnic (Stalker) by the Strugatsky brothers (in Czech). A philosophical gem inside a gangster story. Very different than the movie. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadsid...

I built a Chrome extension yesterday that injects a button into a shared mailbox in our Outlook web so that our admins can look up the given mail sender in our CRM with a single click. It was surprisingly easy! Love to make our Support team happy 😊.

Yesterday was my birthday and thus a good time to sync my 4K Weeks poster (you basically fill a dot each week to get a high-level view of your life progress) with reality. Turns out I missed just 8 weeks during the last year, not bad! 🙂

Thanks for the nudge! I removed the browser check from all our apps. The weirdest thing is that this effectively blocks you from using the mobile device preview in the browser as all the virtual devices have too old User Agent strings… So weird!😣

I’ve been exploring pen plotters for over 10 years (more if you count my first plotter, a Commodore 1520). What started as a curiosity has kept me engaged as a retro computing enthusiast and captivated as an artist. Lets go back in time with some of the plotters I’ve used in various ways. 🧵

Nice read! I experienced many of the same hiccups when setting up Kamal recently. As well as a few others others 😅.
Rails friends!
Have you been putting off actually playing with Rails 8 and Kamal?
Me too! Turns out, it's not as simple as you might hope.
I finally got a chance this weekend and ran into some hiccups, so wanted to share them with you just in case it's helpful:

Do I know anyone that knows anyone that's great at marketing. My client is looking for someone to market an app I built them. The app is an peer-to-peer rental marketplace, if that helps narrow down anyone with a focus on that type of app.

I spent 2+ hours figuring out why our Action Mailbox does not recognize some emails and route them properly. The solution was to add the single letter "O" to our SMTP server config. Mailing is hard.

I never realized until being told yesterday how setting a denying auto-reply for a given weekday in my calendar may sound arrogant because I haven't included an explanation 😬. Not everybody knows the context of my working hours, of course!
