RailsGrowth

I'm in the process of preparing for a new engineering role on a Growth team.

I've built up tons of stale branches and wanted to clean them up locally and on origin.

We are approaching 400 Rails database migrations in Content Harmony and they are getting a little unwieldy in my editor sidebar.

When you first start adding components like ViewComponents into an application, I think it's normal to start running basic commands like rails generate component Button as an easy starting point.

I spent much of 2024 working on modernizing Content Harmony's Rails stack.

On all publishing websites I have worked on, and many Rails sites, I've needed to publish static pages or collections of editorial content.

I recently had to put our Content Harmony Heroku app into maintenance mode, and discovered it is possible to set a custom URL as your Maintenance Mode experience if users visit while the site is down.

If you've ever set up a sitemap in Rails, you might have used the sitemap_generator gem (docs: /kjvarga/sitemap_generator) to automatically generate an XML sitemap.

Recently I have been testing various SEO requirements in a Rails app that uses Rspec.
