Probably making a Docker image for a #Ruby on #Rails project that's 137MB is one of my proudest achievements of 2025 😁 https://hub.docker.com/layers/neuronicgames/levelfly/rails-upgrade/images/sha256-7016ca0fcf124adac49471294f30b3453fbe7af15fcf78d8a7d18643d8ecd904

#dhh being normal

｢ A morbid side-effect of his condition is that his body is still alive, walking around, delivering keynote addresses at confs and screeds on social media. Yet he exists only as a macabre meat puppet, his sinews pulled taut, controlled entirely by the brain parasite he contracted from a WhatsApp group chat. This state of affairs is upsetting, and confusing, but it bears repeating: the man we knew and loved as dhh is gone ｣

in all, I spent about three days to go from sketch to deployed app. Most of that was spent figuring out how non-trivially connect to @digitalocean Spaces.

The rest was really not bad.

if you have already been writing software for a bazillion years, and understand a few webframeworks, here are a few links that will get you up and running (and done):

I finally wrote and deployed my first #django app this week.

I have played with #rails and #phoenix for the past few decades, but I haven’t dug hard into django as every app i have worked on or overseen would not benefit much from the admin interface.

I am the only one working on this app, and it's for me only, and I didn't care if the admin interface adhered to a very specific design spec. In fact, i am the only one wjho will probably ever see the admin interface.

More attached…

Had a bit of a look back again at discussion around the #Rails leadership problem, and it seems clear that the Rails Core team is 100% on board the DHH train - there seems to be no dissent at all.

So I guess asking them to take action is pointless, and a complete fork is the only way. I wonder if there are many ex-Rails core people out there who would be willing to step back in to help get a community fork off the ground...

Did you realize that, when using ActiveRecord's enum, it allows you to query for the assigned values and their "not" counterparts?

This was a really great essay by @phillmv,and I think may be interesting even if you're not in tech or working with Ruby on Rails.

It has a lot to say about what makes writing Rails apps fun, but also: power and the drive for domination and what it feels like to have rich white men who seek to dominate & control others get to destroy so much of what's nice in your life, and also have it be so plausibly deniable to people who aren't the targets of being hurt by it.

It has given me much to ponder.
