Working in small chunks is one of the powerful dev skills I have! Among other things it: 👀 Makes it easier to get code review (smaller PRs) 🏃‍♂️ Keeps forward momentum 🗑️ Prevents code from going stale ↩️ Makes code easier to revert a thread on ways to achieve this 🧵

@wlgriffiths Stay tuned for the follow-up article on `to_key` and how to deal with composite primary keys in URLs 😉

I applied my "triangle of separation" principles: 1. Write code at a single level of abstraction 2. Push conditions up the decision tree 3. Separate branching code from doing code This led to optimal decomposition in my superclass, giving subclasses easy hooks to override

Once you understand the ActiveModel API and how it relates to the various Rails view and controller helpers, you can get all of that magic to work for your custom objects just like it does for Active Record objects! ✨

For example, here's a mind map I drew after I'd spent some time writing method and module level docs for a library.

@seagreen__ @obsdmd Here's another fun view: just the atomic notes, but coloring those that contain the top 5 tags (if a note has multiple tags, the earliest color group wins). Interesting to see that "time" and "writing" are perfectly clustered while "testing" and "mental-model" are spread out.

@robzolkos No, I have a flat folder system. I do have a couple other sibling folders that contain things like media and templates but those aren't really content. The goal with to start really minimalist and focus on actually writing. I haven't needed to impose more structure via folders.

@seagreen__ @obsdmd I wonder if some other types of views could be enlightening? Perhaps being able to filter by "depth" like Obsidian already does for backlinks, but have the filtering be from a *set* of nodes (e.g. tag nodes) rather than a single note 🤔

@onghu A fun thing you can do by leaning on the default proc for caching is to build recursive, cached Fibonacci as a hash:

There is a wealth of knowledge in your day-to-day experience but you need to actively engage with it
