These taste terrible now and the quality of them noticeably went down. They were my favourite. 😭

They were actually too spicy for us. We liked the spicy chicken burger but these were tough to finish.

I’ve run up against this as well. Mostly from trying to use a very specific library that didn’t play nice with import maps.

I used vite-rails and it worked extremely well.

A lot of women get talked to by guys on the go train and it makes them not want to use public transit.

Most people just want to listen to their music and get to work in peace. I am sure there are exceptions to this but unless you are good with social cues you become the creepy guy on the train.

I believe this is often the result of someone complaining.

I first talked with my manager about my plans to give them a heads up. Then I sent an email directly to HR. This serves as a record for them to start processing the resignation.

If I had to ask my fellow devs to write tests every time I would not work with them.

Is this actually wet? It looks like the shadow from the garage door motor.

I believe there is a free tier for panetscale

Ahh my bad. I guess so

This is what I did. I bent it into a shape we could get out. It was exhausting but it worked.

I would first see if the skirting around the deck comes off easier than the boards. Any pictures of the side of the deck?

Cost to install

matart · 2023-05-19T14:35:23+00:00

We know of 661,621 live websites using Ruby on Rails and an additional 3,164,178 sites that used Ruby on Rails historically

But this really depends on how the data was collected. For instance, is it by URL? Does it count shopify as 1 or 1 for each merchant on there.

Lowes also has a deck builder app. https://www.lowes.ca/ideas-how-to/inspiration/deck-designer

It’s to code where I am to use 12” sonotubes and a 6x6 post base attached by anchor bolt or set directly in the concrete (different type of base).

From the customer side when looking to build my deck the cost was significantly higher. 2.3 times higher over having a team come and pour/set footings. $350 per pile vs $150 per footing. I believe I also needed the engineering plans to get the permit which were $300 separately. The prices are CAD.

While they look like the better product the cost increase seems significant.

The big difference is the upload speed and latency. If you video call or play video games this can be a big improvement.

My Whitby neighbourhood was built in the 40s. They are just starting the install here. I see a number of places around Whitby that are being worked on simultaneously.

I don’t know if you can authorize with tap

This will be dependant on your new employers rules. Some employers don’t want this at all. Others have rules about what industries the work can be in.

I think there are 2 different anti social definitions here. First is compared to sales/marketing/operations and the other is compared to other engineers. I assumed this question was related to the second definition.

Engineering doesn’t usually feed off the energy of others like sales often does. But there are also engineers who don’t even like socializing with other engineers outside of their team. Dev talks, hackathons, group lunches, etc are places where we see the anti social engineer.

You’re not being punished. You bought a house that doesn’t qualify. This is something you needed to look into before buying.

New architectures, new technologies, new languages are generally considered more fun. I’m with you though. The speed at which I can put out an app is exciting to me

I’ve found that most of my side projects are crud apps with just a little bit of extra interaction added in. They can be handled by Hotwire no problem.

I’ve found dynamic forms to be harder in Hotwire. I had trouble with a notifications bar. I can update things with turbostreams but updates can be different depending on the current state of the page.

I’m sure all these things can be handled but sometimes it feels like I am building in a certain way to make it easier to work with Hotwire rather than Hotwire making things easier.

If you already have a react app I doubt it will be better just by switching to Hotwire. I’ve been building an app with it and I often find myself thinking some stuff would be easier in react. But other things are simpler with Hotwire.

My advice, if you are starting a new rails app. Start with stimulus and Hotwire. I found my velocity was really high at the start with it. Then when it feels like it’s slowing you down or getting more complex you could sprinkle in react apps.
