The old https://rubygems.org https://rubygems.org used to include the steps to build a gem, and publish it[0], which was helpful.
But in their redesign they removed it, so now that info is hidden behind two clicks (Guides -> Publishing your gem), but that page isn't near as concise, and doesn't show you how to build the package.

- kristopolous 11y agoAs a whole, pragmatism has apparently been discarded for the merits of a contemporary aesthetic fad. I fear that it's perverted the discipline of design. Gone are the analytical days of Jeff Raskin and Donald Norman and I see it everywhere. Systems and user interfaces are degrading and the trajectory appears aligned for more of the same.
- extrapickles 11y agoI've found it to be more of a cycle. The current trend in systems and interfaces is minimal with people taking it too far. It will swing back to more comprehensive interfaces (ui, api, etc) when people get tired of not having anything and comprehensive will be back. The downside is that comprehensive interfaces will be taken too far (eg: the 1 api call to rule them all) and then people will introduce minimal again. Good system/interface design is rare, and good design works well regardless of the current trend.
