I’m honestly shocked that just the .gem works. I thought it required some metadata files too. This is what I’ve been serving for a decade but maybe it’s way obsolete.

Sidekiq 8.0's new Web UI has landed on main. If you feel lucky, give it a test drive and send me any feedback.

You can use the `main` branch by putting this in your Gemfile and running `bundle`:

gem "sidekiq", github: "sidekiq/sidekiq"

My kid and I built one last year. I’d probably look for a newer CPU, looks pretty low end? We went with an i5-14500.

As I'm not even a mediocre designer, I want CSS that gives me simple semantic styling, not mounds and mounds of utility styles. That's why Pico's ethos resonates with me so much.

After a few hours with Pico CSS. MUCH simpler markup with almost no classes. I love this.

Pico is amazing but the maintainer seems to have fallen off the Earth (literally no commits on github since August, I hope he's ok). 😭

Holy cow, it's ALIVE!!!!

I got Sidekiq job profiling working with zero config. Just add `profile: "nonce"` to job options, go to Sidekiq::Web and click View.
