I sat down with @jeremysmith.co
for what I thought would be 90 minutes.
Four hours later, we were still talking.
We talked about building products no one's buying, choosing family over money, and what it means to be a "nurturer" in tech.

Had an issue building 2FA with Rails ActiveRecord encryption. For some reason it worked well in dev, staging & not in prod.
I blame docker :)
Now it works, every Rails Expert can enable 2FA using their favourite auth app and it would create 10 backup codes 🥳

Sometime ago, I announced that I was working on a platform for Rails Experts. It's almost ready, and I've been making solid progress.
Experts can build their profile, add their expertise, create their offerings, and manage their inquiries.

def edit
render :edit, layout: "dashboard"

🤔 Rails question: This works perfectly, but I can't find this pattern in the Rails guides!!!
Has anyone used action + layout in a single render call before? It works as intended, but wondering if it's considered best practice!
render :edit, layout: "dashboard"

⚠️ TailwindCSS has a common issue relates to how it generates CSS classes. For example it generate some classes in dark mode & not in light mode.
✅ Solution, use the safelist (v3.tailwindcss.com/docs/content...) option to add all needed classes in "tailwind.config.js"

Majority of Rails community on Reddit will block and ban x/Twiiter links. While i still post there sometimes (much less than before), I'm glad that I stopped supporting 'his' blue badge.
It is better over here 😊

It seems a project's git has been corrupted 😖
Not sure what to do!!!
I asked AI for help, and it showed me 2 options.
I never heard or read about "Nuclear Option" 💣☢️
Have anyone done the "Nuclear Option" before? Or there is a much peaceful way to git history back?

was asked: "How would you make sure you list true experts ?" Or "What makes your platform standout"?
There are 2 stages need completion before expert's profile and offerings get published.
1- Profile completion. Professional details must to be completed. 👇🏼

Something is cooking 🧑🏼🍳
An idea has been sitting in my head, buzzing 🐝, simmering 🥘, and fermenting for months. A few days ago, I got it out of my head, and the cooking process has started.

When a test fails, I can add some debugging output to the test case to see what errors are occurring.
Is it a valid or a good way to debug Ruby / Rails tests?
