This was a great episode with Joe! I went into it with one idea about why and how I might approach writing a technical book, and came out with another. Also, our discussion of burnout and mental health got deep, and I think was really important, especially for indie folks.

I'm on a roll with new blog posts. (We'll see how long that lasts, ha!) This next one is on how to implement electronic signatures in Rails using Active Storage, Stimulus, and Signature Pad. There's also a short digression into designing routes/controllers. 😊 hybrd.co/posts/electr...

If you know anyone hiring Staff+ full-stack Ruby/TypeScript engineers, I’d really appreciate an introduction. I’m especially interested in anything related to realtime collaboration, CRDTs and bespoke rich text editors.

I was listening back to this episode this afternoon, just before hitting publish, and was inspired again by Jim's personal mission. He's been a support to me personally, and I know to countless others as well. He's a good example of what makes the Ruby community great. ❤️

Any Ruby folks open to a 3-12 month gig? GraphQL migration to the latest Apollo Router, remote, quick start, and sounds like a fairly well known shop with good eng. Will forward interest to a friend who was looking.

I deployed #solidcache into production today. In the past I've asked around about what kind of performance people had been seeing and gotten back nothing, so, a quick thread about my experience, and a subtle gotcha to avoid if pre-warming/transferring. #ruby #rails

For the second edition of The Rails and Hotwire Codex, I'm torn between switching to SolidCable, or sticking with the Redis adapter 🤔. I'm sticking with Postgres as the DB, and switching jobs from Sidekiq to SolidQueue, meaning Redis is needed for only ActionCable and Kredis. Any suggestions??
