Rails has a method that returns a correctly formatted string for the name attribute on input elements. I've been doing this manually for years whenever I needed to manually build fields! See api.rubyonrails.org/v7.2.2/classes… #TIL #ruby #rails

There have been many interpretations of the anatomy of Minecrafts probably most iconic mob, the Creeper. This is my interpretation rendered in LEGO. 1900 bricks, standing 42 cm tall, this harbinger of boom will sneak up on when you least expect it. #lego #afol #moc #minecraft

What is the best, preferably written, tutorial to get someone into building their first Rails app when they have programming experience but limited Ruby experience? I’ve had good success with the one from Rails Girls, but I fear it might be getting dated.

Could/should an ESP check and verify DMARC before sending an email campaign - what's the point of sending if the recipient is going to reject it? 🤔 @jessethanley This feels like something you might have thoughts about?

Already in alpha-release, Rails 8.0 is great. The Solid-* stuff, asset pipeline simplification, Hotwire goodness, and SQLite embrace all play so well into the One Person Framework idea. These are exiting times!
