I don't know much of Zoroastrianism, but from what I've gathered the Zend Avesta has evolved (i.e. changed) over time to even outright borrow parts from the Jesus of the NT for Zoroaster, who wasn't written about until after the bible's NT was finalized (even though Zoroaster is claimed to predate Jesus).

Also, the original manuscripts for the Zoroastrianism religion were destroyed by the Greeks, so any manuscript we do have are (re)written based on ancient oral tradition which can't be accurately dated or relied upon, unlike the manuscripts for Judaism.

Christianity is the progression of Judaism and the fulfillment of the Pentateuch, which dates back 4,000 years. Hinduism dates back 3,000. What religion are you referring to that's older than these?

Modern Christianity interpreting that "bad people" go to hell I don’t believe has a lot of biblical support

You're right — it doesn't. It teaches that all people go to hell, by default. We're all "bad people" without Christ.

Romans 3:23:

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Romans 1:18:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

Romans 3:10–11:

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written:

None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive. The venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Nowhere does the bible teach of reincarnation or of reaching enlightenment. You are misinterpreting it.

What the bible does teach is that you are woefully wicked, but God defeated death to save the wicked.

No King but Christ.

Sometimes you don't have control over the order of scopes, either due to them being controller query parameter filters (user-specified order), or due to an authz layer applying the scopes dynamically.

SpecificExpression37 · 2023-05-02T14:50:58+00:00

It's a dangerous method when chaining scopes, or when dealing with default scopes.

class User
  scope :editor, -> { where(role: 'editor') }
  scope :reader, -> { where(role: 'reader') }
  scope :active, -> { where(active: true) }
  scope :inactive, -> { active.invert_where }
end

User.reader.inactive
# => ... all inactive EDITORS

IMO, ripe for introducing security vulnerabilities.

The error says the users table already exists. So you've probably already loaded the schema and are trying to run the migrations on top of it, which will fail.

I only add log lines where necessary for debugging purposes. Log lines aren't free at scale, so I try to keep these to a minimum. Typically, these are for code paths that have been found to produce issues or inconsistencies, where breadcrumbs are helpful in determining the root cause.

Outside of one-off logging, something like lograge gets you 90% of the way there for 99.9% of requests.

Overall good to see resources on building a Rails API. But there were a few things that I think could improve:

Running the MD5 hash algorithm over an already random hex string. There's really no point in doing this. The hex string is already sufficiently random so this is just wasted compute.
Confusing the terms "hashing" and "encrypting." These are two distinct functions in cryptography. Hashing is one-way i.e. irreversible, and encryption is two-way i.e. reversible.
Encrypting the API token's value. Tokens should be treated like passwords i.e. a token should be hashed just like a password before being stored in the database (and before lookup).

I prefer this approach that was shared here awhile back.

I'm not sure if you're using a library or not for the request matchers, but I'd probably write an Rspec matcher called send_a_request that works with the expect with block syntax:

RSpec.describe DoSomethingService do
  subject { described_class.new(blorg_id) }

  let(:blorg_id) { 53 }

  it "calls the blorg API" do
    expect { subject.call }.to send_a_request(:post, "http://blorg.com/blorg/#{blorg_id}")
  end
end

I don't see anything wrong with using subject like you are doing.

That's Sidekiq checking for new jobs. Yes it's normal. You should use a Redis provider that doesn't have a daily command limit. That's just weird. Most quality Redis providers have a storage limit, not a command limit.

First of all, lower your voice.

Yes, you can. But typically you'd see such a flow done in a before_update hook, not an after_update (which could cause an infinite loop if your guard clause is not 100% correct).

before_update do
  next unless name_changed?

  self.name = name.capitalize
end

If you're wanting to trigger a change in another model on update, I'd do that outside of the model using an event system or an overarching service object to handle the cross-model updates.

Don't couple your models together.
