Here's a roundup thread of everyone who has completed the #20DayGemChallenge. This has been so much fun, and I'd be shocked if you didn't come across at least one gem you've never heard of before that's useful to you if you read through these.

One-liner methods in Ruby are useful when you have commonly used variants of classes, but don't want to initialize them with the same arguments or via class methods. This is a Phlex component that I initialize via `BoxComponent.new`, and variants via `BoxComponent::Small.new`, etc.

I know this will never be fixed, but Ruby's usage of the class Time to represent a timestamp, and thus having no data type for storing time (e.g. time of day) is extremely unfortunate and frustrating. Times and dates are extremely hard to model to handle all situations, so I get it.

I’m working on a new article to summarize what I think you need to know before choosing SQLite to back your Rails app. Joy of Rails runs entirely on SQLite. I‘m really happy with my choice but that doesn’t mean it‘s a good fit for everyone. Are you considering SQLite? What do you want to know?
