Needed a helper to find the next occurrence of a date (birthdays, holidays, etc.), so I built it.
Now it’s an open @rubyonrails.org.web.brid.gy PR: Date.upcoming_date(month, day) 🎉
Proud to give back to the open-source community that gives us so much ❤️
Hope it gets merged 🤞

Inspired by @donnfelker.bsky.social’s Stimulus controllers for Lexxy, I built one that adds file type and size validation directly in the editor.

🚨 Rails tip: Appending query params with concat or + "?..." can break your URLs — especially if the URL already includes parameters.
Instead of risking invalid or double ?s, use a proper helper that merges params safely. 👇

I remembered today and thought I'd share:
You can use .many? instead of count > 1 — more readable and sometimes faster!
💡 On relations: uses LIMIT 2
⚠️ On associations: loads all records

Anchor links not scrolling correctly in your Rails app?
Turbo Drive intercepts clicks and replaces page content via fetch (not a full page reload) — and that breaks native #anchor scrolling.
Fix it with data-turbo="false"
Tamed the Turbo — anchor away! ⚓

Pluralizing model names in Rails with proper i18n — there's a helper for that.
I wrote a small helper that uses model_name.human(count: ...) to do it the right way — fully i18n-ready.
Simple, readable, and it works with any model as long as it's been translated 😉
