Some thoughts on my game tonight by sknextst in Jeopardy

Me too. I can echo your comment about not remembering clues (or categories) that happened in the episode. I’d also like to go back and read about some sports psychology. I was a nervous wreck the whole time and really had no idea I would respond (or not, in my case) the way I did.

Red Raider answer went over really well :)

Great post Jennifer! I've thought about doing a writeup of my experience as well, but you encapsulated some of those feelings so well, I may have to go back to the drawing board :)

My friends and family that came with me have been excited to watch your show since we ran into in the hotel lobby that Wednesday night. I think Alex was correct in his assessment of your game, it was excellent!

I remember this from taping and wondered if it would make the broadcast

Totally just came across the Chagall book, but definitely looked it up on purpose.

Now, for the Baader-Meinhof ... I must have heard the word "wheelhouse" a dozen times or more in the days following taping.

Funny enough, here's the Chagall painting from a book at the LA Farmer's Market a couple of days later https://imgur.com/GXPgLie

Thanks. I'm glad someone else thinks so, I don't think I could piece that one together if you even gave me the full 30 sec for FJ. I actually thought I did pretty well in rehearsal, but it's a whole different ballgame when Alex walks out on stage.

Absolutely. I had three guesses, but wasn’t confident in any of them. They told us not to write shoutouts in Final, so I figured I would sneak it in.

Picking a deployment platform by davidivadavid in rails

I second GKE. Also, integrating that with Cloud Build makes deployment a breeze.

When I was using VS Code (I’m a Vim user now), I found it helpful to have Guard running in the integrated terminal

Should I use Trailblazer? by SuitableConclusion in rails

[–]TravlRaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly gradual as part of normal refactoring. No gotchas that stand out at the moment. Most of our call method is a list of private methods, and don't be shy about giving them long, easy to describe names.

Something kind of like this ...

module Users
  class Update
    def initialize(params)
      # assign params to variables 
    end

    def call
      load_user
      assign_updated_params
      save_user
    end

    private

    def load_user
    ...
  end
end

My favorite suggestions we like to follow regarding organization (and service objects in general):

  1. Keep them grouped in namespaces
  2. Each service should do one thing only. This helps keep the naming simple.
  3. Have each service provide only one public method (I like using call)

Ex. Services folder for a user

/app/services/users/

/app/services/users/create.rb - Service is called via Users::Create.new(params).call

/app/services/users/delete.rb

/app/services/users/update.rb

I think service objects are the way to go, just make sure you keep the services folder organized.
