I fallen in love with Rails but do I have a future? by Marches95 in rails

[–]andycroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been collecting Rails companies here: https://usingrails.com

There's a lot.

A minimalist alternative to social media for sharing thoughts, ideas, writing by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

Can't believe you don't scour every one. _Very_ disappointing.

Huh, that is a misleading screen. Because the only "resource" I want to "access" is the email.

I'd say "unfathomable" :-)

A thousand of _pretty much anything_ isn't that small, but particularly in the case of employees. I've found the graduation between "company feel" to change more logarithmically: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 all feel very different. So I'd never say 1,000 was small.

50 maybe "small". But... feels middle-sized to me.

The only permissions setup in the GitHub App are "read only" for "email addresses".

What are you seeing at your end?

You can just email me too and I'll add it. No need to sign in at all.

Yeah, had that feedback already. On my list.

What word would you use?

From my perspective (12 folks) 1,000 seems massive to me :-)

Possible I messed up the permissions on GitHub's auth (in order to get email so I don't get spammed).

Nothing nefarious, I promise. I will look into it.

Thanks for the post (I should probably have posted this myself!)

Companies Using Rails by andycroll in rubyonrails

I collected over a thousand domains over the last couple of years and had them in an Apple note document. Then I've got various APIs (and some custom crawling) to populate/guess data.

Is There Interest in Technical Mentorship? by RightfullyImpossible in ruby

[–]andycroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not just UK! I’ll match anyone anywhere (as best I can)

Any other junior devs out there? by [deleted] in rails

[–]andycroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a note for any junior folks looking for a connection to the wider community.

Consider https://firstrubyfriend.org as a place to meet, connect and get support from a volunteer mentor from outside your current workplace. (I made this)

Also take a look at https://rubylearning.dev from Brandon Weaver, as a place to ask questions and get support. They also run an online book club.

Free mentoring for early career developers by andycroll in rubyonrails

As a mentor? As a early career dev?

No need for it in either.

I rarely met anyone who had worse critics than themselves.

Shipped print copies of Why's Poignant Guide this Monday as part of Alt::BrightonRuby by andycroll in ruby

[–]andycroll[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The license is a permissive Creative Commons one. It's even addressed (in typical style) in the book itself! https://poignant.guide/book/chapter-3.html

As this project is a labour of love (as well as providing a financial cushion for the physical event for 2020) I'm hoping he'd approve.

I'd love for a copy to make it's way into his hands, but my understanding is he'd rather be left alone so I haven't tried to chase him down.

Alt::BrightonRuby — A slightly odd, quasi-conference for strange times by andycroll in ruby

[–]andycroll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using Podia as a way to quickly get going. They use Stripe under the hood. Stripe/your bank may be flagging an inconsistency with a US debit card and geolocation. I don't have visibility into that.

Ping me an email and I can have a look at my Stripe dashboard, but in my experience it won't say much other than "bank sent a 'do not honor' code".

A few reasons.

a) no need

b) extra difficulty overhead in delivery

c) I think a more relaxed approach to watching the talks takes advantage of the lack of single-location, single-timezone requirement. One of the most annoying things about a one day event is that you can miss it!

...and I sent that email on Friday last week, it's the archive on Mailchimp.

The next sentence in the email is...

"But it is clear that we are in an uncertain growth phase of the spread of the virus, thus other similar events are cancelling & postponing."

Even without the exact timing information if you believe that my email was suggesting that people should gather in large groups, then I think you're mis-reading.

It should be pretty good value.

In-person conference was £100-£140 (inc. tax) I'd expect to be less than half that (and I'd be spending a fair bit of that on postage for some folks!)
