Now a real head-scratcher: "DEPRECATION WARNING: Passing instance variables to `render` is deprecated."
Not as many hits on th'internet as for other deprecation warnings I've run into.
I did find a blog post about it¹ but now I'm curious why I didn't see more warnings? (Could just be limited test coverage lol 🙈)

Trying to rush through #Rails 7.1 upgrade before I have to go AFK for the day 🏃🌬️.
Rabbithole mental state update: I've started anthropomorphising the #Ruby gems (and feeling bad torturing them in probably very-unexpected version combinations!)
Back in the saddle!
#Rails 7.1 seems to be working fine – I had to upgrade rspec-rails, which seemingly changed the behaviour of the "as" parameter… but, plot twist, I didn't need to have ever added that in the first place! 😳
Solved this one in 13 minutes on the subway home, actually kinda great conditions for it surprisingly?
A non-screen break and a walk to let my subconscious mull the problem for a bit.
Then, a short time limit and unreliable internet meant I had to skip the usual steps of "searching the error message" and "reading the online documentation" and go straight to the source code – which by now is mostly making sense.
Ran `git reset --hard HEAD^` with uncommited unstaged changes 😭 (luckily not too many, and the key ones were in my vim history)
Making a mental note to add a wrapper script to git to make it bail in these conditions – I would never intentionally drop everything with `--hard`, I would use `checkout`.
Oh no, this is pretty late in the game to be finally paying attention to `new_framework_defaults` 😳
Wow and not only that, I'm not sure I remembered to run `rails app:update` after every Rails upgrade 🫠
Luckily merging the configs is going "OK" so far. Grr so frustrated to be learning yet more things 😾 (not really)
OK the universe didn't punish me too harshly for these mistakes 😇 #Rails 7.1 has the most configuration changes yet! And also some database migrations, exciting!
Wow so far only TWO config options which needed non-default values, all the way from #Rails 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, and 7.1 😲
Having the funniest issue where browser tests only run if I switch to a specific GNOME workspace, then away from it, then back to it again? Otherwise I get an HTTP timeout 🤡
If your application has a `--color` flag, be like #Rspec, also support `--colour` as an alias, absolute praxis imo
