Building a Colts API in Rails for use in another Rails app I built. Rebuilt the whole thing this morning. Took me a few hours of typo-correcting and bug-fixing, but I managed to successfully seed the database.

Rails devs, what do you recommend as the top skill for interviewing? I'm looking to start applying.

Figured out the issue. I was trying to use multiple seed files so I could add a dropdown to select rosters by year. Need to re-think this approach.

Building a Colts app with Rails but in the app, I updated my seed data in the players.rb file and now I'm getting 2 or 3 duplicates of almost every player. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? None of the player entries themselves are duplicated.

Spent some time yesterday and today working with models in Rails. Learned how to use foreign keys to manipulate data in different controllers.

Added a form in a rails app, and the form had 3 inline buttons at the top, because I wanted them on the 2 pages I was using this form. The buttons were submit, delete, and back. When I submitted the form, it was automatically deleting the entry and redirecting to the form instead of the main page.

Why use someone else's app when I can make my own? Love watching the launches from my front yard.
Made this with Rails and TailwindCSS.

"You have already activated logger 1.6.2, but your Gemfile requires logger 1.6.1."
I don't even have logger in the gemfile for this project so how is the version wrong?

I've been scrolling through API documentation for the past couple hours trying to figure out why the data I'm getting doesn't match what they show. Shame I have to put it aside to do my real job now

I'm so happy that I'm finally making progress in this Rails app. It's been a pretty disheartening journey

Figured out how to convert time zones in Rails and set time zones based on a user's time zone. It was hard to find documentation online and managed to get Copilot to help me sort it out.

The Ruby language and community have given me so much, so I thought I'd give a little something back as #RubyConf wraps.

Installed flyctl and put up a build of my new Rails app in minutes. I can't believe how easy it was. Wish I'd gone this route before instead of using a different service for my Colts app.

Figured out how to change the color of a toggle based on a condition returned from my API query. Feeling somewhat accomplished today 😎

Feels like I've been trying to learn Ruby and Rails for a long time. Still feels good to get things figured out and working as intended!
Setting a helper with the same name as a method in the helper causes a recursive loop.

I seem to have created an infinite loop with this and I don't know why.
date = Date.strptime(launch_date, "%A, %D")
date = Date.strptime(launch_date, "%A, %D")

I did it! Used the parklife gem and put my Colts app up on Netlify. Render was ok, but I hated that my small app took 5 minutes to spin up.

I have a Rails ap I'd been hosting on Render, but I'm trying to build it as a static page to host elsewhere. @geetfun.com suggested I try Sitepress but I'm trying to avoid rebuilding this app again. Is there a gem or some other way to generate static site files from a Rails app?
