I still really like rails. It’s really fun until your codebase reaches a certain size. At that point you better have a large suite of test which becomes a problem of it self because the tests will take forever to complete.
I tried sorbet a couple of times and totally get why it’s useful but imo it’s not just lacking (e.g. compared with what can be done with TS or even a simple type system like golang) but it also removes all the fun parts of ruby / rails.
I have been using Linux as a desktop operating system for what I believe is almost two decades. Recently(?) I see distro named like CashyOS and Bazzite being thrown around. Am I missing out on something?
I did some iOS development last year. I did not like the iOS part of it but swift itself feels nice.
Is swift web yet?
I think for the general public ChatGPT is a much stronger brand than OpenAI itself.
These kind of parties are still happening. At least in Europe this is still a thing.
I’m in my thirties and have been involved with these kind of parties for at least ten years.
A general trend that I have been observing for years though is what usually is being referred to as „TikTok Guys“. This involves guys and girls in their early twenties wearing fetish outfits and doing lots of drugs.
I don’t care about people coming in fetish outfits to our parties but I don’t want some young guy overdose on one our parties. In practice this means that we have been much more careful about who knows when and where a party is happening.
I agree that the quantity of publicly available code isn't the most reliable indicator of someone's seniority.
My issue with this individual arises from the discrepancy between his public claims of significant expertise in the content he produces. He positions himself as a highly experienced developer, attracting a large following of junior developers who take his advice at face value.
I am trying to collect data points supporting his claims of seniority. For instance, his website prominently features a statement that he is the creator of the T3 Stack. However, a review of the contributor statistics for the T3 Stack https://github.com/t3-oss/create-t3-app/graphs/contributors reveals minimal contributions from him, which raises questions about the validity of his claims.
I should have been more precise in my initial comment. There isn't much of this person's code available publicly at all.
I find it challenging to take this guy seriously. In this particular video, he first claims to have extensive experience writing Ruby code, yet he seems to struggle with understanding a basic Rails CRUD example. I even checked his GitHub profile for past noteworthy contributions but was again disappointed. Is my critique too harsh, or is he just not accurately representing his expertise? Also did you know he used to work at twitch? I am sure but he may have mentioned it before.
This is exactly my experience. During the last years I mostly wrote ts, python and some golang. About a year ago a friend asked if I'd like to join his startup. I was skeptical at first because his personal philosophy includes avoiding js as much as possible and (almost) exclusivity relying on the rails way of doing things. The rails community seems like a cult to me at times. One year later and I'm not exactly in love with ruby the language but I seriously love the productivity that comes with using rails. It is the most complete framework I have used and from my observation it seems to raise in popularity again.
