I am probably an early adopter as I really love #Ruby new features

This is why I wrote this article trying to convince more people to use the new tools we have:

https://allaboutcoding.ghinda.com/we-should-adopt-and-use-new-ruby-features

This is my way of trying to bring some arguments why it is good to go outside of what we think it works, to try to use the new possibilities we have now in Ruby and thus help the language evolve while also expanding our own abilities to solve problems.

I don't know who needs to hear this (me) but you don't have to mess around calculating an aspect-ratio in CSS.

Say you've got a Figma comp and the element is 500px wide and 280px high, the CSS is:

.my-element {
aspect-ratio: 500/280;
}

Scales beautifully.

"Name your variables properly, *fool*", the programmer scoffs.

"Nobody will know that `t` is the time elapsed. The name should be descriptive" they mutter through gritted teeth as they block the PR.

A moment of pause. They exhale briskly through their nostrils and the rage subsides.

Composure regained, the programmer returns to their component building. Here is where the real work is happening

`class="ml-5 mr-2.5 px-6 py-3"`

Hey, folks!

Unfortunately, NWRUG is homeless again and is looking for a new venue to host the meet-up once a month.

Do you have a suitable space in Manchester city centre? Do you know of one? Let us know here or via our email address <[email protected]>.

Thanks!
