there's a great book to be written on the economic impact of rails. i'd love to see a side by side graph showing rails adoption and the number of launched startups

Short functions are a code smell. I had that opinion for longer but now there's scientific evidence for it: softwarebyscience.... (I'm looking at you, Ruby programmers!)

what's your favorite tiny framework? i recently used polka (node.js) for a project and enjoyed it. also i gave bottle.py a whirl a couple weeks ago and found it pleasant. loved that it included its own templating engine.

I remember shoesrb.com, a GUI framework in ruby that's very simple to use. Brings lots of nostalgia!

Really exciting - I tried static typing in Ruby with Sorbet (made by Stripe) and it worked well, despite being in early stages: would this make it superfluous?

Rediscovered the inline Gemfile for pinning specific dependencies in ruby scripts. Rarely need it, but really useful when I do.

A friend of mine just got into writing python. He's now asking if there are any resources for learning to write code more elegantly. Has anyone ever read anything that's helped you with the quality of your code?

What is your note taking method/workflow ? And what tools do you use ?

Tried a few things but they all lacked dynamic programming capabilities so now I'm building a custom memex. Backend consists of CouchDB, MeiliSearch, Apache Tika, Tesseract OCR, Ruby, and Node.js. The plan is to have a programmable web frontend that will allow traversing a personal knowledge graph using arbitrary search and linking operators.

So my business is running about 12 different weekly email newsletters (all double opt in, people want them!) in the software development space.. JavaScript Weekly, Ruby Weekly, things like that. So if you have any links I should be considering, just hit me up.

How do you handle payments?

How did you start with getting paid subscribers? I have this theory that a lot of content monetization is currently very, very, very hard and often pointless (medium/substack). Curious to hear somebody who is actually running it with revenue, as I could easily build few of those myself. I just don't understand sales process at all, where to start?

I watched some Destroy All Software screencasts destroyallsoftware... where he uses Ruby, and it's amazing how much can be expressed in a single line. I can see myself having a blast writing code in it.

Ruby because of its simplicity, it's elegant and flexible.
