> Rails is dead.

I forgot how many times Rails has died, maybe it is a cat & this is perhaps the 7th/8th time?

The core framework and the fact that all projects broadly are structured the same is the ideal use case for LLMs - it's proven to be much more successful at writing sanely architected code for me, over say Expo, Next etc. -

My point is really that the default --force is dangerous for new/sleep deprived users, or ones that kinda understand but don't - where as --force-with-lease is not and is always safe. --force-with-lease should just be default

I'm also like this, rebasing feature branches onto main - I however have one suggestion when it comes to the push back up to origin

Instead of

`git push --force`

always use

`git push --force-with-lease`

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-push

This probably should be the default in git (as in there should be a `git push --force-without-lease` instead) and asks git to make sure the commits locally on your branch are up-to-date with those on remote/origin. It then fails if you try to overwrite commits that you haven't seen, and has saved me a few times when working between computers on the same project when i could have lost history on the remote that i failed to fetch.

If Corbyn has been PM and had been quoted as saying "Let the bodies pile high in streets" do you think you'd still think he had no impact on Covid?

> We're using Rust/Actix

This looks like a web service framework, rather than a web application framework like Rails/Django. Like it's closer to Sinatra/Express than Rails -

The speed of Rails comes with rapid development & strong conventions leaving the important stuff (like business logic and building something) to you.

Once you get to a size where scale is an issue with Rails, you'll have a startup that's working - it's a better problem to have than a startup that has perfect fast code but no customers.

I had a blip about 40 minutes ago for around 4 minutes, where an internal IP for a redis server failed to connect, and didn't failover to the backup node... which is just excellent.

Hoping it's a small issue & resolved quickly

British & Irish butter is also excellent, don't give the French all the credit!

It would allow them to operate but issue heavy financial sanctions and penalties, rather than just disallow them at first -

These financial sanctions could swallow up any and all profit from the UK market

Not scientific enough. Take it three times and average the results

How is this fine, but banning sale of guns not fine in these people's minds?
