Two incompatible (?) ways of using packwerk

My book Gradual Modularization for Ruby and Rails is about using Packwerk for, well, gradual modularization. While I wrapped up the manuscript about six months ago, the bulk of the innovation over the things I thought about in Component-based Rails Applications happened in 2021 and 2022. It has been a while since I took a long look at the merits of the underlying tool. This year, I’ve realized there are two very different ways to use Packwerk.

TIL that https://rubygems.org recently surpassed 4B downloads per month. That is over 1500 downloads per second … all day every day. RubyCentral does this on a shoestring budget. If you do anything with Ruby, you’re depending on Ruby gems and the work RubyCentral does. Consider sponsoring them! Check out: https://rubycentral.org

Oh yeah, one more point: do you recall a recent rubygems outage? Chances are you can’t! Such an impressive track record!

I'm picking up momentum again on my Hanami work.

With this PR I've now tackled the first half of a re-envisioned approach to assets compilation across slices (https://github.com/hanami/assets-js/pull/20), and now I'm ready to move onto the Ruby half (where I'll surely move much faster!).

#ruby #hanami

Compile within single slice only by timriley · Pull Request #20 · hanami/assets-js

Update our esbuild wrapper to compile a single assets directory at a time. Previously, we crawled the entire app structure to find all assets directories (with the app and/or slices) and processed ...

Folks are still finding engines as a way to do modularization in #ruby and #rails. I just found two new talks (one from #railsworld) where folks are presenting how they approached it! I added both to https://cbra.info

Next up:
* Revamp Chapter 7 (which previously discussed all of RubyAtScale... it now needs to be shortened to cover only what is not covered in Chapter 4)
* Bring back Chapter 8 (Measuring modularization progress)
* Bring back and finish Chapter 9 (How to make modularization progress)

Cheers!
