Added Ruby code highlighting to RailsERD.com. Moreover, with breadth-first search (BFS), you can now pick a table and view its links to other tables. You can even adjust how far the BFS explores using the "Highlight Depth" feature. It's fast and interactive. Give it a try!
I've enhanced railserd.com by adding a feature to highlight connected nodes in large tables simplifying ERDs. Additionally, default Rails tables are now hidden to reduce clutter.
I could use some help if anyone is sitting on HN right now :)
Witnessing your own application among the list of apps you frequently use is a satisfying feeling, especially knowing it will soon be available to others. I'm particularly thrilled about an upcoming feature that will provide AI support for childcare professionals. I can hardly wait!
Just as Ruby uses `nil` to mean “no value,” UUIDs define an all-zeros “nil UUID,” available in Rails as `Digest::UUID.nil_uuid` which could come in handy if you’re looking for type consistency in APIs, etc.
A lot of the This Week In Rails issues don't disappoint, this one is no different. I published a new issue! world.hey.com/this.week.in...
I published a new edition of This Week In Rails. The first entry is quite interesting, check it out:

I've spent the last 3 days building something I've always wanted to have for myself. Things are shaping up nicely. Of course, I'm using Rails, Hotwire and considering slapping Trix in there as well! 🤞

Some awesome news for the Ruby community!
Excited to announce that Jean Boussier—Rails Core team member, Ruby commiter, and Senior Staff Engineer at Shopify—will join me on The Rails Changelog to delve into Ruby on Rails Performance Optimization! Send in your questions! 🔴
Just snagged an early bird ticket to Ruby Community Conference in Kraków—it's practically in my backyard... no way I'm missing it. Can't wait!
We'll be happy to have you! <3
I do agree with you 100% on this one. There's nothing more straightforward than import maps. What I like is that Rails for example doesn't force "no build" on you, it gives you options. I started working on an app recently, considered the requirements and just picked esbuild.
I already secured my ticket for #ruby community conference so I can spread the news that early bird tickets are available 🗣
@rosa.codes and @tenderlove.dev on stage in Kraków Feb 28th rubycommunityconference.com
Who's coming?
Done! :D
blog post... or it didnt' happen 😃
Writing this book was demanding, and while very rewarding, not particularly lucrative. Sales events like Black Friday really help!

There's WIFI in an active volcano? I hope you're OK! 🤪
I'm guessing you're in Iceland, Peru or Indonesia then?
There's a new official Ruby on Rails Guide on performance tuning that you probably have not seen that I think every Rails developer should read once at least:
😁🙏🏾
I had paid for a Rails Changelog (https://buff.ly/3ZcxIHn logo earlier. It was too complicated visually and for print. I designed this one myself a few months ago. Presenting the fresh logo for the Rails Changelog, everyone! Keep an eye out for stickers at conference venues! 🥳
Created a new Rails 8 app. Wanted #postgresql not null constraints in generated migrations, w/o editing each migration.
Turns out it's now possible. With a bang! 💥
rails generate scaffold Account name:string!

Some folks run jobs in transactions causing all sorts of errors in productions. Rails has made Active Job smarter: Active Job will automatically defer a job until after a transaction has committed and drop the job if the transaction is rolled back. Consider the following:
Rails allows you to call EXPLAIN on relations like `User.all.explain` but did you know you could also run EXPLAIN on queries returned by `first`, `last`, `pluck` and aggregate functions like `count`, `average`, `maximum`, `minimum` and `sum`? Optimise away!
RSpec has offered this capability for quite some time, but in case you missed it, if your Rails app uses minitest, you can now execute tests within specified line ranges. For instance, only the tests found between lines 10 and 20 will be executed in this example.
Scrolling through my photos from #RailsWorld, I almost forgot that Rails is set to introduce even more exciting features beyond what's already available in Rails 8. For most apps, ElasticSearch won't be necessary anymore, as Active Record Search will take its place!
