💎 Ruby on Rails Developer 🔭 Rails Observatory - https://t.co/EBPzjOX62M 👨💻 Working @ Revivn
Colorado, USA
Joined April 2023
After a long hiatus, finally pushed new code up for Rails Observatory. Since my last foray into writing a rails gem, the gem came out which had a ton of great patterns and insight for how to deal with propshaft/turbo in a gem! .

I like that distinction - tables imply “all data is of equal importance” well said.
Many apps are basically Excel in the browser. This is common when the app doesn't have a professional designer. Developers think "I'll display all the data in a table." That's unfortunate. It infers all data is equally important. Designers ask "What are the user's goals?".

Damn inertia and rails should be the officially sanctioned react route:

Has simplicity gone missing in web development? This investigative piece uncovers how Inertia.js + Rails defy JavaScript bloat and reclaim developer sanity.

This is pretty cool. More of this please!.
Basecoat 0.3.0 is out. A few changes to the way I register and initialize components (link below 👇). Now preparing a few new components (Command, Carousel, Drawer) before I get back to working on charts. If you want shadcn/ui but don't want to use React, this is for you.

For rails observatory, I found myself needing to submit metrics off the main thread (via thread pool) to avoid adding length to request times. After reading the source for ActionCable, I found that this was easier than expected, using concurrent-ruby:.

One of the best ways to level up your skill level as a developer is to study the documentation for your tools. Scour the Rails Guides. Click through Even after 15 years I still find new/better ways to do things every time I do this.

Working on emitting quantile metrics, like p95 for request latency etc. This is weirdly not easy to do - I think I'll end up going the route that statsd uses.

Update on RailsObservatory - Just moved trace submission to a thread pool so that requests stay nice and fast! Also added utility functions for submitting metrics so you can record whatever you'd like:. `RailsObservatory.record_occurrence/timing`.

We had a weird bug with ParamsWrapper today, and I feel like the behavior here is surprising enough to warrant discussion. I hope to get some feedback!.

We were bitten by a somewhat surprising behavior with ActionController::ParamsWrapper recently. We had a controller AddressesController that used the implicit parameter wrapping behavior, like this:...
