Rails engines keep their routes separate from the main application. When defining a Mission Control base controller, you must use the main_app route proxy to access main app routes; otherwise, you’ll run into routing errors. https://t.co/Mb6ltYkrDs

Rails uses int8 for primary keys. That’s a max value of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Even if you inserted 1 million records per second, nonstop, it would still take you 292,000 years to run out. You’re not hitting that limit. Ever.

I still believe macOS is still the best OS for devs. You can install PostgreSQL and set up a Rails DB that connects seamlessly—no user/password issues. Try that on Linux and you'll spend the day troubleshooting. I’ve had enough problems with Linux to know I’m not going back.

@kentexcargo I had a laptop delivered to you last week to be sent overseas and it has gone missing. No one is responding to my calls or emails. Not a good look for a professional shipping company. Please DM me ASAP.

Wasted a lot of time trying to convert a PDF to an image with online tools. Turns out it was easy to vibe-code a Ruby script that does it.

@GregMolnar Good points but with HTTPS it is encrypted, most clients conceal it when displaying headers. A lot of clients have built-in facilities for the Authorization header. There is no rate-limit on session-based logins either - you can add it for HTTP basic too. CSRF is a point but even

Rails ActiveRecord find returns an object with id 31 in this example. Person.find("31-sarah") In https://t.co/jRKa5dfY0N, I override to_param method to provide SEO friendly URLs that still works with the find method. Example: https://t.co/jSx6nzQoGf

For demo purposes and to prevent a lot of requests to the server, I have modified the controller to reload only 10 times / 10 seconds.

In Turbo, the FrameElement.reload() function reloads the frame element from its src. This example adds a simple stimulus controller that reload the frame at specified intervals.
