Friends, we are publishing the new Rails frontend story–for every small team that dreams big! The key to productivity is to use the full toolkit: Hotwire only, Hotwire with mounted React/Vue/Svelte components, and SPA with Inertia.js–while keeping it the Rails way. At @evilmartians we are excited and committed to supporting and improving this stack. Don't believe it works like a charm? Learn more 👇

@divvsaxena @Shopify Probably! But I was thinking about search and sorting functionality and the limitations of that

I agree and I believe it should be more widely understood that skepticism and pessimism are not cures. It is a way to “protect” oneself from pain, but the cost is missing out on all chances and opportunities. It is not brave. And we’re also wired to get more pessimistic as we get more experience, and one needs to take action against this happening. I remember thinking, when we met the first couple of times, how cool Tom is specifically in this sense 👏 Just shared more thoughts recently
It is natural to grow overly skeptical and risk-averse with age, because our brain is wired to remember the bad things and avoid them. It's not wired to be inspired and optimistic. First, you need to recognize that it is sub-optimal. Most people are not taking enough risk. Most people are not optimistic enough. And if they take it, it's always the most dumb risk they can find (i.e. they go rogue). You need to work to push yourself to be optimistic, inspired, to believe in new things that can come. Because it is true. It is painful because inevitably you are going to experience failure, often. And the hard part is to *adequately* adjust the Bayesian beliefs, in math terms. A skeptic is "always right", but is also missing out on all the opportunity around. If you want this, you need to start forgetting the bad stuff that happened to you, to let go. Stop "pattern-matching" the present and the past. If something failed once, it doesn't mean that it will fail always. No risk means no return (but don't use this phrase backwards).

Future networking and slightly “black mirror” thoughts. One of the thoughts I had while listening to @cyantist at @tferriss show was about the role of being able to recognize people, in business i.e. in creating opportunities (in VC, any B2B and a lot more). Cyan hacked the system a bit by breaking into a hotel wifi (and scoring a deal with a founder in the room), but how many times did you hear a story that someone just happened to be right next to someone important? The hidden Q is could you recognize someone cool who could be a very meaningful connection for you if they happened to be next to you? The ability to: - recognize a person based on a profile photo/photos in google etc - connnect a face, a name and a bio ^ this is very unevenly distributed, can be trained for many (but not all), and is very useful. This is making it a cool use case for wearable AI. It could change things, which means that it will, most probably. And it will diminish the importance of the natural skill in the process, but make many more folks comfortable with networking. What do you think: cool or scary? 😁 Just some weekend walk thoughts.

@elmd_ @jclarke @steve_ike_ @myanch200 @lucianghinda and we can run Rails apps on wasm! (it might not work for big existing apps for sure but for the new ones, that are not too complex in infra etc, I think it’ll work) @palkan_tula and @skryukov_dev can tell more but you know that already 😎💙

Sure! There will be a recording, and we're now pretty diligent about making a recording (even if it's not the best quality, we have something). You can find them all here: And specificially at GitHub HQ the AV team is top notch and the recordings always have multiple camera angles etc.

If you don't have a framework yet, at least share it detail how you would approach the particular problem. It adds up and at some point the "frameworks" is crystallized.
If you have somebody on your team whom you believe in and want to help them grow, give them 3 things: – a ton of trust – a ton of respect – a decision-making framework so they can make decisions but stay aligned with the key priorities/goals It works!
