This might be useful but the moment someone asks you to build an admin UI for your API only service you end up wondering why you didn't go with Rails in the first place. And the idea that frontends should be JS only is preposterous.

The hardship of having kids is not to be neglected. I have 2 and they're the people I love the most. The amount and sizes of sacrifices I had to make to have them and the continuous worry that something will happen to them... I'

Turbo frames and streams are a wonderful pattern that I wished was used more than it is. We see people resort to whole React frontends for their web applications just to add simple features that could be done nearly for free using frame an

That's disingenuous to some extent. Housing is beyond reach for many folks nowadays and jobs don't follow in the smaller towns you mention and you'd put yourself at risk of being surrounded by no one your age. Of course peo

I've seen the entire industry move towards React/Angular type frameworks and it's invariably been a really bad thing. Large projects end up with front end specialists and backend specialists and very few actual full stack de

Why aren't you saying the same thing about hotels? They're taking up space that could be made into living quarters for people.

I disagree. Testable code tends to make more modular and easier to refactor code. It is easier for someone who is not writing tests to make things way more complex than it needs to be.

I've yet to come across a project where turbo streams aren't the better approach in my day to day. Reduced code, reduced complexity, easy to reason with code that fits inside most people's head. I can't believe all the

That's a comment that I hate. They could still be taxed an appropriate amount. Why should the majority of the tax burden be on the middle class? We pay a larger percentage of our income in taxes than they ever did.

I'm not a scientist but how does this demonstrate anything? It just looks like a magnet is moving some metallic object. Can someone explain like I'm a five year old?

I think you're wrong. The vast majority of "trips" are well below current ranges afforded by today's technology. Most electric car users are plugging in when they get home and never have to charge elsewhere. Furthermor

Say you're driving down the road and get into an accident. A choice in front of you is that you either hit a squirrel or a child. Would you feel better or worse?

I understand that paradox. The way I rationalize when it comes to food is that we wouldn't feel bad for a lion eating a gazelle... well we might but it would be required as lions eat that food. We're somewhere on that spectrum o

Because no matter what you do... if you come back to it with hindsight there is always some improvement you can think of. Someone coming in after the fact and telling you where you could have done better is hindsight. Take it as a gift. I
