#Rails is the fastest framework to develop with, but as codebases and teams grow it becomes difficult to introduce changes. Throughout my career, i've been collecting design patterns and strategies to ship changes faster.

In "Optimize for Change", you'll learn:
* How to write CSS that can't break the site
* how to architect DB modeling to be composable
* how to phase-in conceptual changes
* how to write tests that are resilient to changes
* And more!

When your website (here, doordash) is so advanced you can't support going back and editing a textfield, maybe re-think your design choices.

anytime you go back and try to type, it moves your cursor to the end of the field afterwards. 😭

What do you do as a #ruby on #rails developer when everything is going wrong? How do you avoid mistakes when the pressure is high?

When the server is down, the database is slow, the buy button doesn't work or customers can't login, "Rails Procedures: Emergency" is the book that provides the checklists and context to help developers of all levels respond to incidents faster and with greater understanding.

Textrax is coming along! I have line numbers, syntax highlighting, and code folding functional.

When a file is opened, it gets routed to the expected track. But you can also create custom tracks too.

As part of building a text editor, I recognize there are a number of hard things that text editors do that would be difficult for me to do.

So if you can't beat em' in jobs to be done, there's always opportunity for experiences.

So make yourself some coffee, take a break from your coding woes and enjoy some relaxing piano jazz when you step into the lounge!

I use Sublime Text daily, but i've been wondering if there's another way to navigate large codebases like #ruby or #rails projects. I often need many files open at once and i always lose track of them in a sea of tabs doing #webdev.

What if the editor was a grid, and each row was a dynamic folder grouping of open files?

I decided to experiment building my own text editor. This is the idea behind Textracks.

I built a MacOS command Palette called CMD_PAL to make life as a developer a little easier. Re-run past commands, access clipboard history, take notes, and more! Built using pyqt5.

A relevant read for anyone that wants to build their next #startup online, with focus specifically on #rubyonrails to leverage the strengths of the framework.
