TIL about `.to_sentence` which converts an array to a comma-separated sentence including a connector word in the end.

['one', 'two', 'three'].to_sentence
becomes "one, two, and three"

It's so simple and so nice. I love you, #Rails 💎❤️🛤️

Oha, I just found a #Rails bug 😱🐛
This has first been reported on Rails 6 (in 2020) but seems to never have been fixed so far (v8).
When there's an enum in your model and you add a faulty validation below, you'll get a completely wrong error hint related to your enum instead of your validation.

So, the thing is, I absolutely can't live without the summarized schema comments created by the #annotate gem. But it's not working properly under #rails8 and actually seems to be abandoned by now 🥲 BUT good news: There's a fork github.com/drwl/annotat... and it works like a charm with Rails 8 ♥️♥️♥️
