self host a Forgejo instance! I haven't pushed one too hard, but it's super slick, and a nice way to unshackle from the tech titans

I converted a few of my old rails apps to Hanami last year, and was pleasantly surprised how little time it took. Granted many of them were relatively simple apps but ultimately it's a wonderful opportunity to simplify any lingering complexity

I'm starting to feel the same way, I like seeing related methods grouped in larger classes. A lot of rubyists prefer indenting everything under the private keyword, but the OCD in me can't handle it. It's not a block or a method, so your code is just dangling there with no end!

I regret not going all in on Phlex, and taking the "safe" View Component route with our companies main app. Phlex is elegant and beautiful. For context I really don't like erb, but I do actually like jsx, so there's clearly something a little off with my assessments
