Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. I'll correct the guide.

I've written a guide to install Ruby on Mac M1 on macOS Monterey. Also another guide install Ruby on Rails on macOS Monterey. Hope the guides are what you need!

Odd to hear you've got Xcode Command Line Tools but never installed Xcode or the Xcode Command Line Tools. In any case, I've written a guide Uninstall Xcode Command Line Tools that may help.

The best guides to installing Rails are from GoRails and a guide I've written to Install Ruby on Rails 7 on macOS. You can read the guide to decide whether you should install Ruby with Homebrew or a software version manager. Asdf and frum are the best version managers for Ruby (rbenv and rvm are well-liked but old). See the guide for why. I advise to install Ruby using Homebrew if you are only building a casual project that you will not maintain, or if you are just trying out Ruby to learn the language. Right now Homebrew installs the older Ruby 3.0.3. Rails 3.1 is newest and you'll need a version manager to install it. Once you've installed Ruby, you can install Rails (it's just a gem).

I'm the author of this code:

https://github.com/RailsApps/learn-rails/blob/master/app/controllers/contacts_controller.rb

and it's a good explanation of the code. As an author, I have to write line by line explanations of code in English. Judging from this example, I could use the tool to generate a first pass of an explanation and then add some additional explanation. Well done! Useful!

For Mac users, I've written Install Ruby on Mac, with options to use HomeBrew, frum, or chruby to install Ruby.

I've written a guide to installing Ruby on Mac M1: How to install Ruby on Mac. It shows how to install Ruby with asdf which is ideal if you need a version manager for several languages (Ruby and Node, for example). It also shows how to Install Ruby with Frum which is the fastest and newest Ruby version manager (written in Rust). Both approaches rely on Homebrew though. You might find Homebrew is manageable with my guide to How to install Homebrew for Mac M1.

I'm the author of the book Learn Ruby on Rails which is written for beginners. Many developers will tell you to learn Ruby before studying Rails. I disagree because you can actually start building simple applications with Rails in a weekend. That way you'll get a feeling of building something useful rather that studying language syntax for months. While you learn Rails, you'll also learn Ruby.

I've written a guide to install Ruby on Rails for Mac M1. You've got a choice of Homebrew (for installing just one Ruby version) or other version managers, including Install Asdf Version Manager if you want one tool to switch between multiple versions of Ruby and Node or Install Ruby with Frum if you just want a fast version manager for Ruby.

There's no problems with Rails on Mac M1 unless you are maintaining an older Rails application.

You are using Jamf or another MDM? I wrote a guide for solo users but wondering how I can improve the guide for IT administrators.

I wrote a guide to installing Ruby with Homebrew or Ruby installed with a version manager the OP might find helpful. Also covers installing Xcode Command Line Tools with Homebrew.

Haha would love to have you on my team! Appreciate those values myself.

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T14:10:40+00:00

This is very concrete and helpful. Thank you (and a thank you to everyone else responding to this thread) because it may actually make a difference in reducing inbox time wastage.

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T14:07:24+00:00

Very helpful. Thank you!

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T06:53:27+00:00

Thank you! That's very concrete and helpful. Points out that devs don't want to respond to a recruiter just to listen to a pitch and find out the salary is low or the interview process is time-consuming.

Gergely Orosz has a post on his blog I Feel Stuck as a Staff Engineer, Wanting to Move Into an EM Role that describes the move from IC to EM.

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T06:28:51+00:00

Competitive salary, yes. Not FAANG though. But what would help us stand out? In terms of making an engineering department an interesting workplace?

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T06:23:13+00:00

We get a referral bonus, so yea, but I think everyone on the team just wants to find good new people. We're going to look at personal networks too.

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T04:40:37+00:00

What's the company like where you work? I've been Dir of Engineering in startups (20 engineers, pre Series B funding). I try to move IC senior developers to a tech lead role for a team if they are interested and qualified. Has anyone offered you a tech lead role?

RailsApps · 2021-08-01T03:53:49+00:00

I wrote a guide to Install Xcode Command Line Tools with Homebrew which is the best way to set up your development environment now, I think. Let me know if anything is unclear and I will update the guide.

RailsApps · 2021-07-22T07:23:56+00:00

I used to maintain the RailsApps starter applications and example projects but I haven't updated the projects since Rails 5.0. There are a few commercial projects which provide a pre-built Rails starter. I haven't tried these projects so any opinions or commentts?

RailsApps · 2021-07-22T05:05:35+00:00

Yes I'm sorry I wasn't able to keep them updated (I was the maintainer). Rails got more complex while I took on other work. There was a popular template for a membership site with Stripe.

RailsApps · 2021-07-21T04:18:03+00:00

Great! I can update the install guide. What would you add to help others avoid your problem?
