For the M2 at least, the math is roughly "Whatever RAM works for you, cut it in half."
So if 64gb works well, you could get away with 32gb.
Conversely, if you buy a 64gb, its probably equivalent to about 128gb-ish.
The math isn't perfect, but this is roughly what I've found

Rails doesn't have auth built in.
There's a few well regarded libraries / gems , but it's been said before that 37signals uses their own auth implementation separate of any existing libraries.

I generally stay quiet on this stuff but there are some gotchas with import maps and not using a bundler.
Here's my $0.02 on import maps and unbundling the frontend:
"So despite what a leap forward ES6 everywhere, ubiquitous HTTP2, and import maps combine to present, there's clearly still a class of apps that'll need Webpack. Not everyone can take these things out yet, but those who can will be mightily pleased."

I "self learned" / "self paced" to get to where I am today.
It took me nearly 4 years of coding to get my first job.
I had 2 kids, was working 72hrs/week as a paramedic.
Cohorts would never have worked for me because I never would've been able to keep up with others.
This is exactly why "self-learning" is unbelievably ineffective.
Sometimes, you are part of the .1%. Most of the time you aren't: you get stuck, you get distracted, lose motivation, etc.
Cohorts solve this problem.

If your candidate tells you they have to review a job offer with their spouse, parent, or colleague before accepting that’s a 🚩.
I don’t mind getting a second pair of 👀 to review an offer, but usually you don’t want the hiring manager or HR team to know this.

Holy shit. You want to see any infuriating page?!
Its built with flutter and has virtual scroll bars. I have scroll bars always on, but they decide "fuck you, you're gonna get floating scroll bars on hover"

I went the route of just coding and applying. Did it for almost 3 years. Applied to hundreds of jobs. No one knew / cared who I was
Hopped on Twitter, got involved in discord, started making libraries, making blog posts, being helpful etc.
Got a job in 6months by word of mouth
Had a former troop come on here and said you don’t need to create content and write and blah blah blah, which is true, but you had to wait two years and use an apprenticeship to break into tech while the guy that did what you didn’t got the companies coming to him, so…

Important to note a lot of places put stipulations on code you write. “Anything you write while you’re here, we own” is in a number of contracts. So obviously if anything I write is owned by someone else, I’d hide it in private repos and turn off the commit graph.

Except that this inherently introduces bias. The world does not work solely based on merit. See "culture fit", "nepotism", etc.
Are the current DEI practices perfect? No. Are they a step in a right direction? Yes. To recommend we get rid of them entirely is just wrong.

i said something recently, and it's stuck with me. Something that truly excites me about Web Awesome is the stuff we're getting rid of.
We're getting rid of our custom form hooks and using FormAssociated.
