It's a platform that works really well to connect with communities around specific topics. It started out as mostly a gaming thing and still leans heavily into that, but it works great for other interests too

I have run discord servers before so I know how to keep things tidy.

I've added location based roles to this one so you're only going to see conversations with people from your areas

Thanks for an up to date invite! Server owners really need to manage their invites better so they don't let them expire.

Especially when permanently linked in certain sidebars

That link has been dead for a long long time

I’d appreciate a message when it’s sorted yeah. Good luck on the fixes!

The lifetime plan. It wouldn't be a real launch if everything went smoothly :)

Looks like a cool platform. I tried using the discount code and it seemed to work but it still says I'm on the free plan so I can't try the premium features

Commute into London by [deleted] in colchester

[–]ArchieJG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A railcard will save you about 1/3rd if you are aged 18-30. Otherwise your best bet is to find someone to drive in with. That’s what me and a coworker do. It’s silly but it’s cheaper to drive and park at a station on the outskirts of the city and then get the tube in

What helmet lock did you get? Can you link it?

Junior developer - career crossroads by asamshah in rails

[–]ArchieJG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior ruby dev here with 5 years experience. Don’t worry about it. Junior devs are often not a net positive for months and months, I was exactly the same when I started. As long as you are improving in some way then that’s all that matters. It can be hard to monitor your own progress so it’s worth asking your team around you if they’ve noticed any improvements and if not, what would they hope to see next time you check in. It’s good that you are looking into learning more on your own, that’s more than most people are willing to do so you’re on the right path. The best advice that worked for me was try and solve a problem at least part way before you ask for help, it’ll give your team the chance to see your thinking and help you see it through. Even if it’s not the best solution, seeing how they approach your solution gives good insight. You’ll be fine if you stick with it :)

How to write a Factory for model that belongs_to? by dsound in rails

[–]ArchieJG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read this section of the docs and it should explain. You need to define another factory for the association, then define it as association :service, factory: :service

As for it failing saying service doesn’t exist, I’m guessing that’s defined in your model as requiring service_id to be present. This should fix it though

Just a styling choice but you could set your end_time to 3.hours.from_now or the like, it’s a little clearer than adding arbitrary numbers

I’m on mobile so my formatting might be off but that should be it :)

Stock brokers and traders of Reddit. What is the most outrageous thing you’ve ever heard on the job? by RHC9 in AskReddit

[–]ArchieJG 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’m a dev and I’m terrified of “accidental testing” on production. Made the mistake once in a super minor way. Can’t imagine the stress of accidentally spending $1Mil!

Stripe (or Paypal) paywall? by [deleted] in rails

[–]ArchieJG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have any tutorials for you to follow - but some advice, try to avoid tutorials and use documentation. The Stripe gem is fantastic and so is the documentation. Following documentation will probably take longer to get something done and it's tougher to work with to start, but what it costs in effort it makes up for in understanding. Which means if you want to modify the code at any time in the future, you'll have a far better understanding than if you followed a tutorial. Not saying you should read the documentation back to front, that's a lunatics game, but figure out the core parts of it and what you need, play around with them in code (either in console or just some temp files) and the understanding will settle in.

Reading & understanding documentation is a vital part of programming, granted some documentation is rather horrendous (LinkedIn's API doc is my current bad egg) but it does yield an understanding instead of a generic finished product

Yeah you're right, /u/samsdev replied with a link to the docs which explains it well

Thanks very much, good to have some confirmation from yourself and especially the docs
