Feedback is great! Someone said that one of my tracks sounded like The Cure and/or Coldplay and it made feel confusing things 😂

The last time I did an SSR with a rails back-end we went with an express API serving the front-end application and proxying calls to our rails API. There might be a better, more rails-y way, but I haven't had the need lately.

Yeah! I use vite-ruby.netlify.app/guide/rails.... and ship my own React SPA, served as a static app and using Rails as the back-end, via API endpoints. Rails handles auth and sessions on the initial page load, but the SPA takes over from there.

4/ As far as Rails-specific grievances, even though the framework is opinionated you can still get into trouble by doing things wrong and its not obvious when you are making those choices. You very much need an experienced steward to steer the ship.

3/ I was also concerned about finding talent, but a) this hasn't been a problem for me and b) getting new engineers up to speed on Ruby/Rails has not been particularly difficult.

2/ I started to talk myself out of it with Typescript, deploying the back-end with the same language as the front-end and having true E2E type safety. But code/typegen tooling alleviated that specific pain point for me.

1/ This is biased, because I've built 3 start-ups on Rails, but I find that I can get a lot of heavy lifting done with very few keystrokes. The framework gives me a lot of functionality and opinions out of the box so I can focus on building and not configuring.

I've tried to talk myself out of Rails a few times (for zero-to-something, start-up-y builds) and keep failing to finding a better alternative.

Was looking forward to seeing more Berard, bummer. Hope he gets healthy soon

When I first got my house I had a Trello board with now, next, and later columns. These days, the reminders usually happen as sudden realizations of "oh, I should probably check that out" when I'm trying to fall asleep

As a listener, definitely Tidal

Cursor is insane, give it a shot
