Junior Developer

Way back in 2008 I started a site to track military reading lists.

It took me [insert large number here] years of Rails and Ruby but I finally saw this in my logs: Invalid or incomplete POST parameters But the parameters were fine!

At work we have an ETL process where we get a CSV from a partner and put it in a database as JSON.

There's been a lot of discussion recently about running Ruby with jemalloc.

As a busy Rails developer, you are probably inconvenienced at least twice a year when you have to run a migration that's not the last one in the db/migrate directory.

Suppose you've got a legacy database, or some other non-Railsy schema situation, and you want to define an association but the tables don't have the standard Active Record foreign key columns.

I've got some specs that verify a row was removed by expecting Foo.count to be decremented: expect do # some wonderful things end.to change { Foo.count }.by(-1) But change ... by(-1) seems a little wordy.

I've seen the question "how can I get the SQL for a migration without running it?"

I mentioned it briefly in my last post, but lately I've been listening to The Bike Shed podcast starring - at least in the episodes I've heard so far - Sean Griffin and Derek Prior.

I've finished my ebook!
