The gem is just for declaring struct keywords (slightly more featureful than vanilla structs). Validation is left up to ActiveModel::Model. I would do a setup like this: class ApplicationForm extend Portrayal include Activ

I've had great success building form objects with portrayal ( https://github.com/scottscheapflights/portrayal ) and ActiveModel. You can put validations into them, and auto-filter the params by making a `from_params

I wasn't talking about humanities, I was talking about the general value of PhD in response to the parent. Don't know what exactly they study in humanities, but I guess at least some of it has to be done with high rigor and precis

From a bystander's perspective (I'm nowhere near a PhD, but have friends who are), I think there's value in learning academic rigor (which is what I think PhD does). I see it like learning to submit a high quality PR into a f

Long names should be a signal that you’re breaking away from current context or doing something unusual. Unnecessary length and redundant context makes names more difficult to discern. I wrote about it a bit more in the “what?” section of t

On Sublime Text Chelevra[1] has been my favorite for a long time. Lately I've also been using a couple of Alabaster[2] variations. To me the most important thing is to have just enough color. I find too much color distracting. [1] htt

Agree with everything, and additionally I keep getting off-by-1-key typos that I didn't have years ago. Especially (for some reason) when trying to type space or backspace.

I wouldn't write these off entirely. One of their positive outcomes is that you get to switch. Switching is important so you don't get bored or fed up. Just don't take these things too seriously, and don't stick your new

Sometimes this advice is taken the wrong way, and people begin assuming that applying any thought to code design is "being obscure and clever" and "finding contortions". Some of the cleanest, most boring code I've w

Falling into the CMS trap[1] at a sensitive time in a startup can kill the business. In brief: when you try to build out too much complexity up front, everything easy becomes hard, everything hard becomes impossible, and generally any chang

I switched to Fastmail with my own domain (max.engineer), and as I'm changing email on various services, I'm running into the same issues. Synchrony bank and treasurydirect.gov are among the offenders. My solution for these sites

While I won't argue that many Russians are indeed nationalistic and pro-Putin, that thread shows the opposite. All anti-war comments are upvoted, anti-west downvoted. Some comments are sarcasm/irony, maybe it was lost in translati

I used to find it boring. I always wanted to be objective, and not just say "you have to do it because I said so". I had to dig deep on every one of my gut feelings. I had to do a ton of unpacking of my own instincts. Sometimes I

I don't see this answer, so here's my 2c. I think there is a small distinction in the act of engineering vs. developing, but we all cross that line without noticing. Software engineering is the process of finding the most efficien

This is spooky. I just read this post, cmd+tabbed to my mail app, refreshed, and got a version of this exact email. I never have problems with gmail+spam otherwise.

The problem is that predicting how a business might evolve is pretty much impossible. It might make more sense to architect for ease of change in general rather than ease of change into a specific direction. To do that (aside from the advic

Very relatable. Within the context of a single startup this definitely applies. However, in the span of your career, I like to ask — do you want to get fast at writing good code or writing bad code? You won't get perfect code of course

One codebase that I liked in terms of these qualities (albeit I'm sure it's not 100% perfect) is Redis[1]. There are YouTube videos[2] of antirez walking through it. Would love to find more examples too. [1]: https://gi
