This is exciting! If RDoc and RBS start playing nice, I would love to write RDoc in my .rbs files instead of my .rb files. That would make the .rbs be the full canonical documentation, without implementation details. It would also keep the ruby easier to navigate with fewer comments.

"You can’t ship a webpage that does nothing until you have a place to ship to.... Your users aren’t clamoring for access because they haven’t seen anything yet. Ship software that does nothing, and ship it to nobody."

Rails Rate Limiting Setting the Scene

@mileswoodroffe.com Thank you for mileswoodroffe.com/articles/rai... -- very helpful! One caveat worth mentioning is that Rails 8.1 seems to create new apps with `config.cache_store = :null_store` in `config/environments/test.rb`, which prevents rate limit tests from working; :memory_store fixes it.

@ericmigi.com Will Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2 require an Android/iOS smartphone, or can they be used with the Sunbeam F1 Pro phones? (If not with Sunbeam, how about standalone?)

Hot take: your first three #programming languages should be #lua, then #clojure, then #smalltalk. Your production language should be your fourth language.

Glad I could inspire! If you're looking for specifics on how to do this, check out Chapter 9 of Continuous Delivery by
@davefarley77.bsky.social and @jezhumble.net. It has a whole section titled "The First Deployment."

@agile-otter.bsky.social Did you by chance review What Every Programmer Should Know About Object-Oriented Design by Meiler Page-Jones? I bought a used copy and it has "OTTINGER" written on the top, "Complimentary Review Copy" stamped on the side, and handwritten notes throughout.

What is also not growing is the number of jobs for senior/staff level with experience outside of Ruby/Rails. In 2013 people would hire senior programmers with a decade of C++ experience for a Rails role. Today people won’t hire senior programmers with a decade of JS experience for a Rails role.
