Please list the good serialisation gems, as I can't find any ;)

What if you have a complex/dynamic query, how do you build it? You said yourself that AR works better than concatenating SQL strings, but AR doesn't even support CTEs atm and building complex queries is not trivial and sometimes even possible without just SQL strings...

This is what I struggle a lot with in Rails.

No good, community backed serialisation gem. AMS is a mess, other ones are not maintained. And I'm not a fan of JSON api spec's serialisation either.

But also AR doesn't have any easy tools to construct complex queries/multi queries. It works for basic and medium stuff, but even this very common count problem is a disaster to deal with. Sure. you can use Arel and some other gems, but these aren't good solutions for someone that wants to get things done. Makes me wonder how others deal with these problems tbh.

I love it, playing it on repeat on Spotify, thanks for sharing!

It should work with .leex files. About the .ex files, I would be surprised if it worked. I do have it in mind, though. Actually, gonna add Issue to repo, so I wouldn't forget :)

I had to move to 4days week due to covid. Must say that, unexpectedly, it was very good experience. It felt almost like 50/50 work/free days. I was more focused at work. I was more productive. Although, honestly, I don't think I was able to deliver same output as 5days week. The way I see it, you have only a few hours per day where your output is at the highest level. When you cut off 1 day you also decrease that hours. You can't just squeeze them into other days, because it doesn't work like that.

I actually learnt two lessons:

4 days a week is something I'm looking forward when I have a profitable side project.

5 days x 6 hours imo is better than 5 x 8 hours, better to be less tired and maximize next day's most productive hours than to be tired and burn out eventually

I'm actually amazed by the progress. Wow. Seems like it's worth keeping an eye on. Curious if anyone is running it in production yet?

The things I've been missing in software development are:

- some kind of manual labour or any kind of movement, sitting at a desk all time is boring and unhealthy

- some kind of social interactions, I don't count tech-talking as one

I don't get what is the big problem. Just turn off the disturbing Cop. It's a linter not an AI-Linter to know what is expected.

I don't even think that this is RuboCop's fault but Ruby's. Because you can write said code in a lot of different ways (like shown in the post).

Sure you can and you should, right?

But this way you have to write couple of classes more, couple of variables more. And with Tailwind you just define/change value in the config and you have all the classes generated, so the changes are minimal.

I think there are two reasons:

- you can copy the classes from html directly into @apply (you need to tinker a bit more to get responsive/hover/etc classes to work, though)

- you work with predefined values, so if you switch color in tailwind.config.js, it's gonna get correct value in the @apply class too.

That's the way I see it

I think a lot of people are missing the point. That could be attributed to the poor title, though.

The way I see it, pre-phone their daughter was probably much more engaged with her parents and was doing more manual creative stuff. After the phone appeared, she distanced herself and got absorbed by it.

I don't get why so many people here are trying to defend smartphones/social media?

Isn't it pretty obvious they are addictive? And to a young kid, that doesn't know any better, it can get really bad.

Half screen? I see a comment or two. I think it's normal/human thing to have discussions in comments like this one. Especially, when it's an exit related topic that gets shared on startup/VC related forum-site like this one?

Prefer just "good job" comments, or what?

He said it in an another comment; to employees.

Haha, I've written a scraper for docker tags for Elixir images this way. I'm even gonna open source it this weekend...
