> Is Porsche electrifying their cars?
They have been producing the Taycan EV for a few years now.
It is expensive and range is OK but not great. Probably an amazing driving experience.
Porsche is way out of my price range, Model 3 LR was a stretch but I have been very happy with the car.

Rails 7 has finally added this to active record: sole and find_sole_by
Both raise an exception unless a single record is found.
Of course this would not make a difference when working with mongoid... I also like the fail fast approach.

It really is "that bad".

$10 for 15-20 hours of usage a month?
Automatically bumps to the $25 price if you go over.

I lean towards a little duplication until it becomes clear that there is real duplication taking place and not 'incidental duplication'.
Read this quote somewhere:
Make the code DRY, but not so DRY it chafes.

I've got about 500 miles on my Diverge (and the Pathfinders) the tires ride great.
- Good on the road, even cornering is decent which was unexpected with light tread.
- Great on gravel: flat, uphill, downhill, and cornering
- Decent on single track
I think maybe they get a bad rap because they are on the heavy side for the price? When the time comes for new tires not sure if I will get another pair or try out something different.

Tesla Model 3 Long Range
Been dreaming of being able to drive without using gasoline for decades, that dream is now a reality.
Is it a perfect car - nope, but there really isn’t another car like it right now.

> i don't think dependency management is great in any language. Ruby is terrible!
If you use bundler and Gemfile.lock everything 'just works' in Ruby.
Node/npm/yarn is a nightmare

> Oregon has no sales tax, are everyday items more expensive.
Nope.
At least I didn't notice that when I lived there (2012 - 2017).
Income tax is higher than most states but still less than California.

There is no deodorant that can suppress my BO, I just end up smelling like BO with a hint of deodorant.
Luckily for my coworkers I am usually remote.

Large ruby on rails application. Entire test suite takes around 40 minutes to run, however we use circleCI and parallelize the build so realtime is around 10 minutes.
What makes the build so slow is that the database is involved, if you want fast builds decouple your unit tests from the database. With rails including the database access in tests makes everything easier and you get closer to real-life execution but slow ...

> create a longer lived branch and make small PRs to that.
I follow this pattern a lot, we call it an epic branch and usually name it something like `epic/foobar`

> if you do a quick and dirty code for a feature that never gets used (or dropped). Is that technical debt?
Yes, code that is not being used should be deleted as soon as possible. Even if it was the cleanest code ever written - delete it.
It is adding massive mental overhead for future work, especially as a new developer on the project - how do I know its not being used?
I have used it in the past for hands free coding, there is a steep learning curve but once you get comfortable with it many things can be done faster by voice than with your hands.
Be aware, using your voice all day can be hard on the vocal cords.
